I had 2 out-of-body experiences... both within a week or so of eachother.
The first time, I woke up from a deep sleep and turned from bed to put my feet on the floor and stand. I walked to the edge of my bed and turned back to see myself sleeping.
I got pretty scared and then felt myself get sucked back into my body.
I felt a bit ashamed of being so scared and really wanted to try to repeat the experience.. for whatever reason, I knew I was on a time limit to do it again, like there was a specific planetary alignment or some such thing that would only last for a short time.
Sure enough, it did happen again, but this time was completely different.
I had fallen asleep on my side (a huge no-no if you're attempting to do this). When I came out of my body, I believed I was sitting up straight, but my spirit was very disoriented. I believed I was facing the wall in front of my bed, but I was seeing the closet off to my side.
I tried to turn to put my feet on the floor, but instead fell to the floor.
The floor was hard and cold and I could feel the boxspring against my body, but my vision was still disoriented.
I got scared again... but I knew I shouldn't be. I told myself to calm down, but it was too late.
My spirit lifted from the floor and I was sucked back into my body (which was still laying on its side in bed).
I immediately woke up and realized that by lying on my side I had disoriented my spirit as it left my body.
It never happened again. This was over 10 years ago.
Outer Space is a little club in Arcata, CA.
I haven't worked up the nerve to go in yet, but it's probably the coolest spot in Humboldt to catch a show.
This performance was from yesterday.
