Just curious what it is. I can see why people would think they can do it. I always have dreams where I can see out side of my body while I'm sleeping. Right down to the creepy shadow my music stand makes.

I also get attacked in my sleep too. This time I drempt I went to costa rico and went down into the creepy catacomes. I spoke to a dark spirit that was a priest. He said they came there to dream. he showed me a vision of people all around in a hazy smoke. I got scared so I tried to wake up but I couldn't. The spirit followed me. He kept trying to take my blankets off and I kept fighting him. I told him to knock it off I wasn't scared. Finally I woke up and took a bath.

the dream was so vivid I'd almost believe it.

But the blanket fight is something I expirience often, that I'm fighting a spirit for my covers. why I don't know.

I just wrote about this in my journal the other day after watching Insisdious.

Yes, I believe "traveling" can occur. It is said that when one can "see" themselves sleeping it is the soul that leaves the body and "travels". There was a book I read that desrcibe this in detail but the name escapes me now. Interesting stuff.

Once in the 70's I went to a class on the topic. I was told before I go traveling I needed to be able to turn around and look at my body.

Once I did that I was ready to travel. I did try once but couldn't look at my body without zapping back into my body.

Did that once or twice in dreams. One was very striking..I really walked down the stairs..but could not feel the stairs and went outside while my neighbors were having a summer night party. I awoke that evening in a drenched sweat with a fever.

I had a dream that I was floating through a hospital and traveling through the patient rooms through the walls when I came upon myself and saw several doctors working on me and I was paralyzed from some kind of spot on my hip...I freaked out and floated into the waiting room and saw all these people I didn't know but they didn't see me.

I really felt like i was floating. It was an amazing feeling until I realized I was very ill.

I believe we are capable of leaving our bodies to cross time and other boudaries, we just aren't aware of it consciously.

One time I was dozing in a recliner chair and I thought I heard a knock on the door. I got up to answer it , start toward it and then looked back and saw my body. Then I suddenly was back in my body and woke up. It was not a dream.

I'm an alcoholic and I had recently stopped drinking. I have talked to other alcoholics who have had this happen to them too.

What came to mind off the top of my head was

Projection Diarrhea.....haha....

I looked this topic up a few months ago, and it can be pretty scary, even deadly if attempted....

I think its pure hocuspocusvoodoo crap personally.

Can and does occur but only if you are brave enough and is scary

I had an ex whose father was really involved in this with a group. They sent people all over the planet. Then the ex said one day something happened, which is dad would never talk about. He never had anything to do with those people again.

Which is my long winded way of saying - it is dangerous. I don't think we are made to go traveling around without our bodies. It also does point to the fact that we are spiritual beings, though, doesn't it? Rather than just bodies taking up space on earth for a limited amount of time.

This is a really interesting Topic, I read a book on it once too. It amazed me, I don't think I can do it, though. Would be quite an experience.

Hmmm, well being one that has had this experience more than once, I will just say it was one of the best "crap" experiences I have had.

This topic is so fascinating! I have never had this happen to me though, but I do believe it happens to some people. I would be freaked out if I had this experience!

Some of us are more susceptible to spirit activity.......most pple that I know that have been dx with a mental illness have had some kind of paranormal stuff, voices, apparitions etc....i reckon that their is a huge link between mental illness and spirituality.
