Hi Again Everyone!

I had another experience yesterday that has me a little upside down.

In July I posted a thread about an incredible OBE I had....it was a beautiful AND terrifying experience (because I couldn't wake up).

Since then I have had multiple OBE's, all spontaneous except for one in which I attempted to control and it was awesome.

Yesterday I had yet ANOTHER OBE that was actually quite terrifying.

It started out with me being aware I was asleep and that I could get up out of bed, like a lucid dream. From the bed I stood up (with the sensation of standing up and moving) and I walked into the kitchen where my husband and two daughters were standing. Knowing I was in "astral body" form, I stood in front of one of my daughters to get her attention. She actually "shooed" me away (odd). I did the same with the other daughter and it appeared as though she was looking straight at me. She smiled at me - in the experience I thought "She can see me!!"

Then I began to get sucked backwards from the kitchen where my family was standing into the other half of the room. To the right of me a door was open and there was a solid white Airedale Terrier dog guarding the door (?). It didn't look mean but I knew I couldn't exit out that door, it was guarding it.

Then all of a sudden there was what felt like a whirlwind of energy began to spin around me and the next thing I know it is PITCH BLACK and I can't see anything. I felt trapped. Not only did I feel trapped but the "energy" inside where I was so thick / dense and there was (what felt like) a "being" or a "presence" in this space with me. It was beyond negative....BEYOND NEGATIVE....it terrified me.

I immediately began to pray - Prayed for Jesus, Prayed for Angels, Prayed for every divine body I could think of to save me.

Then all of a sudden I begin to see a light on my right. As the light begins to shine, it actually allows me to partially see the walls of where I am - it was like a cave? or a dungeon? but it appeared to be natural rocks, they were solid black. I didn't touch the walls but I could clearly see the detail in them.

The light begins to get brighter and brighter and I can hear my husband's voice yelling my name and saying "wake up! wake up! Are you okay? wake UP!!!" I am completely conscious of him the entire time! I can clearly hear him and it feels like he is in the light?

It took a few minutes but I made it back - I woke up to my husband shaking me with one hand and he had my eye forced open with the other....he was literally holding my eye open! He said it was a good 30 seconds to a minute before I responded....it scared the crud out of him too. The only way he knew I was in trouble was because lately I have been having spontaneous OBE's and I always tell him to stay close in case I am in trouble. This time I made a noise and my foot was twitching - this is how he knew I was in trouble.

After I made it HOME, I was SO RATTLED and SCARED. The sensation of being trapped in the cave/dungeon was SO REAL. It felt like pure fear and I was surrounded by an unreal "presence"....not a good one (obviously).

I would love feedback from any of you on why you think the OBE's are happening to me in such frequency. I have done some research but I am still not clear on the "Why Me". I know there are benefits and if it assists me in developing spiritually I am all for it. But! As of right now they seem random and uncontrolled.

Could the whole experience been just a bad dream? Sure. But the feelings, the sensations, all of it was SO REAL.

Thanks for listening everyone! Looking forward to input!! Have a fantastic Day!!

Several spontaneous OBEs point to the fact that you don't sufficiently ground yourself before bed. You allow your spirit to be rather disconnected, even during the day. This body you have for a reason. Being in the astral all the time may seem cool, but in fact it takes you from your purpose - learning balance.

Try grounding. Walking in nature before bed or eating a light snack before sleep. We automatically astral when we sleep but having them be so radical isn't a good thing.

I've never had anything like that and its very interesting to read. Please post more experiences you have.

What I'm getting is that the purpose of this whole experience was to educate you in a graphic way to the importance of grounding as Laura stressed. That cannot be overstated. You can enjoy many OBE's but take the necessary precautions first.
