OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE: ORBS FROM THE SKY
BREAKING FREE
I woke up at about 3:00 am to get a drink of water and then went back to bed feeling very sleepy. I proceeded to focus on my third eye chakra as while I cleared my mind of rambling thoughts. Eventually, as I drifted off to sleep, I felt vibrations in my forehead. With a little “mental push” I rolled out of my physical body and found myself occupying a dream body. Realizing that I was now experiencing a lucid dream/ OBE, I became very excited and ready to explore my environment.
As I made my way through the house, I noticed that it was not a perfect replica of my physical home. The floor plan was slightly different. I asked myself how “awake” or “aware” I felt. Amazingly I felt like “myself” and completely alert as in waking life. Next I decided to find my way outside and attempt to fly once again. After searching for a way out, I found a large picture window and thought that I should try and pass through it to get outside. As I pushed myself through the window the glass wrapped around me like plastic wrap. It stretched and conformed to the shape of my body. Eventually, with some effort and frustration, I was able to break free
EXPLORING
Outside I found myself in a warm summer day even though the date was actually February 1st. Beautiful, warm summer! I laid back in the tall, green grass and simply enjoyed the warmth and sunshine for a few moments. I noticed that I was on a busy, suburban street very similar to the neighborhood where I grew up. There was a festive feeling in the air that is hard to describe. Many people were wondering about and cheerful music seemed to be coming from the sky!
I encountered a lovely young girl in a summer dress who acted as if she knew me somehow. As I started to greet her I noticed many beach ball sized “Orbs” falling from the sky. These orbs were very beautiful with a variety of brilliant colors creating swirling patterns on the orbs surface. I playfully bounced a couple of the orbs all the while feeling immensely joyful.
After a few moments of enjoying the scenery, I remembered my dream goal of attempting to fly. Spreading my arms in front like Superman, I ran and jumped into the air hoping to soar above the trees. Sadly, I only flew off the ground a few inches after which I floated like a feather back to the sidewalk. I have flown before in lucid dreams but for some reason my mental addiction to gravity was strong in this experience.
Not wanting to waste this opportunity, I decided to attempt to transport myself to a new location by spinning and changing the dream environment. I thought about my parent’s lake house up north and started to spin. When I stopped spinning I did indeed find myself at my parent’s house looking out at the lake. Again it was summer but there were no people around. The house was very similar to the actual physical house but the yard was very different. It was beautifully landscaped and there were several marble statues across the yard. Closer to the lake I noticed a large statue of an angel standing on a row of hedges. There was a somber yet spiritual feeling to environment – almost like it was a cemetery. I remember thinking that my parents will not live forever and that I should enjoy them while they are still around.
Eventually the dream began to fade and I felt myself being “pulled” back to my physical body. The joy I felt from this experience lasted for days and it was a reminder of why I work so hard at initiating lucid dreams and OBEs. I also wondered where we draw the line between a lucid dreaming and out of body experiences. Again, this experience seemed like an actual OBE at the beginning but became more dreamlike as I explored. Perhaps they are the same phenomenon experienced on different levels of a continuum.
