This spontaneous OBE occured about 4 years ago. It started from within a sleeping state, where my mind "woke up" while my body didn't. I was familiar with the sensation from previous instances and I encouraged myself to leave my body and move around. It doesn't alsways work, but this time it did. I flew around the bedroom a few times and looked down at my wife who was asleep beside me. I could see both her physical body and her astral body (sorry I'm not sure exactly of the terminology yet- by "astral body" I mean that part of her that could leave her body like I had.) This had happened once before, but this time I knew that I could pick up her astral body and take her for a ride. (She had not had any OBE's herself.) I did this and flew around the room a few times before returning her to her body and me to mine, and back to sleep.

When I woke up in the morning I remembered the events very clearly. A few moments later my wife woke up and immediately said, "I think I may have had one of theose out of body experiences last night." Her uncertainty about it was just the perfect match to my memory of what had happened- her astral body remained asleep as I flew her around.

Hey Ben. I know in some forums some will have a fit when you say 'astral' instead of 'etheric', etc., but frankly, it's all energy. If you want to go general, I try to say 'energy body' but frankly call it 'astral'. Whatever you want to call it is fine with me. (I forgot subtle body- hee hee).

Hi there

I have had similar things happen to me but the problem is your partner or other person you meet with may not remember the event, not even in the scene of a dream, and i meet lots or people and i know its them and like you they are normally in the right bedroom or house they act just like they would when awake but you can see them in bed sometimes sleeping, its hard because its all about the download after the event. I get a glimpse of what just occurred sometimes only to start to slip in to a dream and have to wake more as if to say "No you Don't! i know what just happened" but its hard and takes practase.I know ive lost a lot of infomation by just slipping,it only takes a moment ,but my recall is getting a lot better i remember at least 3-4 dreams a night and a lot are lucid.

I'll try to stear clear of controversial language- "energy body" and "subtle body" work for me.

I was trying to say that it's ok however you want to say it.
