I enjoyed reading your experiences Pilar!
I had a very strange lucid dream which just might have been my first ever OBE a few years ago. I wasnt sure what was going on at the time but it went something like this.... I was dreaming that I was talking with my friends at a tram stop after a night out when a winged creature grabbed me by my neck and took me away. I didnt get a chance to see what it looked like because i was in a lot of pain and couldnt move (It felt as though the claws penetrated my neck) but i could see a shadow on the ground below me which looked like a dragon with a human shaped head. anyway after reading your story I looked up garuda in wikipedia and im now pretty sure it was the same creature you are talking about. Its funny how you seemed to have a very pleasent experience with it while I seriously was in a lot of pain and anguish. I remember clearly waking up that night only to find myself in bed, paraylised and still in a bit of pain and having a huge sensation of energy moving around in my chest. I heard the most frightening voice talk to me in my left ear but i couldnt understand a word it was saying. the energy levels in my chest became much stronger and I seriously thought I was dying although at that point I didnt feal scared.... its wierd, I was very confused but i was just riding the experience out. In the end I ended up waking up for the second time only to realise i was safe in bed and it had all been a dream!! crazy ha? well since then ive tried to figure out what happened that night and I stumbled across astral projections and OBE's. Ive actually had three or four spontanious OBE's since then and last night I even had my first wake induced OBE but I think it all started with my experience with a garuda
