Good morning, All!
I had an experience recently that I thought I’d share just to see if anyone had experienced anything similar or had any advice or input. It was on my mind again today and really wanted to see what like-minded people thought. I told my husband, but he’s not really into this kind of thing the way I am so all I got from him was a, “That’s really cool.” So, here I am.
About a month ago, I’d just gotten out of the shower and put my pjs on. Dried my hair and I felt hot. I decided to turn on the ceiling fan and lay down on the bed for just a moment to cool off before going back downstairs to watch a movie. As I’m laying there, my mind is wandering and I’m not really thinking of anything in particular. I realize after a few minutes that I’m starting to drift off. I think to myself that I really need to get up, otherwise I’m going to fall asleep for real and it’s too early for that and I don’t want to be awake at the crack of dawn on a Saturday.
I sit straight up in bed with the intention of getting up and heading downstairs. I’m looking around the room and I can see everything perfectly clear. I see the door, the dresser, computer desk, vanity...everything perfectly normal. It takes a few seconds to realize that I’m looking directly into the vanity mirror across from the bed and I can’t see myself sitting up in it. Then a thought pops in my head like, “Well, duh. You can’t see yourself because you’re still laying down with your eyes closed. You shouldn’t be seeing anything.”
I panicked. It felt like someone had picked me up and body slammed me. I sat up again—for real this time—and felt like my heart was about to beat its way out of my chest. I was shaking so badly that I had to sit there for a minute before I could even attempt to get up and go downstairs. I’m not sure what happened. I’m not sure why it happened. I’m not sure how it happened. Was I dreaming? Was it something else? I really wish I hadn’t had a full blown panic attack because I’m really curious how the experience would have played itself out, dream or otherwise.
Wow that sounds a lot like a OBE experience to me. You could try attempting to recreate it by trying it around the same time of day , 30 days from your experience. That is if you are feeling up to it. Sounds like it wasn’t the most comfortable thing in the world. Waiting 30 days may help with the results if it was influenced by lunar and solar energy.
