Okay so, I've had sleep paralysis probably 7 or 8 times in my life, some were frightening, some were annoying. But the last 2 I had I now suspect (after a good friend informed me) they were OBE attempts.

The 1st 1 was pretty frigthening since in the apartment I live in, I heard about a boy who hung himself when he was 17. So i began unintentionally constructing a reality for this entity, and it seemed as the days passed, his presence slowly began to depress my life. The more I'd think about it, the more anxious thoughts would arise, and build on his reality in my mind. It got to a point where I couldn't even meditate in my room.

Anyways, 1 night I was laying on my back in bed, and thought I heard that sound msn makes when you get a message. Then i realized I turned off my computer, and figured I'd made the noise in my head...then I heard a voice say,"That's the sound they make before they enter your body." I thought , and all of a sudden an overwhelming crowd of angry voices came into my mind and rapidly increased in voices and got so loud it arouse a weird pain and fear. Then I remember hearing a frighteningly loud overwhleming roar/groan/deep scream that sounded like a demon entering or leaving my head. I consciously woke up, and was paralysed for 2 or 3 minutes while the echo remained.

The 2nd experience I'll try to shorten, but I remember having a pretty vivid dream about being in a war. The dream seemed to change into a terrible nightmare when I felt like I was back on my bed, but all I could see was my chest. I looked at my chest, and it was like a really large and powerful ball of blue electricity that was unusually loud and painful. It seemed like the whole room lost its electricity and was forced into me, and then it felt like it was apart of me, but someone or something was trying to steal it from my body. I tried moving and screaming, but nothing would work, and I was terrified.

Funny though, my 1 friend Jesse was on at 4:30 in the morning, and I told him my expereince, and he said it sounded exactly like an OBE, which made me feel 428531124124 times better.

My last OBE experience was very cool, cuz that element of fear was unnoticable. I thought to myself, I feel like I'm gunna have the sleep paralysis thing again, then thought, not tonight, my lung is bruised from snowboarding, I got school tomorrow, blah blah (tried to rationalize not wanting to) and my inner wisdom said," Then you won't develope." and delivered me a strong feeling of regret. So I said okay, layed on my back, and for an hour or so thought anxiously as to what would happen.

I remember it began thinking my cat jumped on my stomach, and wanting to check if it was her, but was paralysed. So I thought, oh, okay. And felt the electricity with barely any acknowledgment ( like a tingling in the back of my brain). I tried to look at the clock several times, and it felt like i would fall asleep, and look at it for a second, then return to this state. The same thing happened when i wanted to check the mirror in my bathroom to see what was up with all my mollars. The experience ended when i started to make an action with both my arms that someone would make if they were pushing a friend on a swing, but with my thumbs facing up. It felt like i had another set of arms, and that i was about to leave my body. Here is my question; as I was in this state, I had this tremendous pain which made the experience sort of annoying. It felt like I was clenching my mouth as hard as I possibly could, and my mollars felt like they were about to shatter. Has this ever happened to anyone, and does it stop, I haven't had an OBE since then.

I agree that the above examples sound a lot like astral noise, reentry symptoms and exit vibrations. I have TMJ but it has never caused me any pain while in the mind awake/body asleep state- I would say that your tremendous jaw clench was caused by the fear you already had because of your prior knowledge about the history of your place. Have you thought about any type of shielding before you try to project again? Not so much for protection, because if a restless spirit residing in your house doesn't automatically mean that it'll try to hurt you ('he' had ample time for that in the past) but to protect you from 'resonating' with his pain/fear if there is any residue in your place? There are all kinds of measures you can take just to make you feel better about it.
ps. MO.

I use to pretend to make an electro magnetic feild around myself when I would sleep at night, but I figured it didn't do that much since the reality was in my mind.

But since my friend, Jesse, told me it was an OBE attempt, and not a demon removing my soul, and taking my body, I haven't even been thinking about him.

After my last experience, I had a weird feeling that the inhibitor (the spirit's name I gave him) was trying to become my friend; and an OBE was the way for this to happen. Then he said he was speaking through my imagination that I was partially controling in order for me to communicate and understand him. But Jesse said also, it could just be my Higherself thats arranging these lessons etc. I agree with him, and have been talking alot to my inner wisdom alot lately, and alot of what closed minded people call "coincodences" have been happening, but I guess thats a discussion for another day.

Anyways, I agree that the jaw clenching was due to fear. But I wasn't conscious of any paranoid delusions of the inhibitor until after the experience. So could it have been my body was afraid of my moving outside of it, cuz the pain seemed to stop when i was in a certain groove in my body.

IlvC0h3lzeNt333, regarding your question about fear, it is quiet likely that it was a reasonable response to the feeling of leaving the body.

Fear seems to be a very natural response for many people who first begin to project consciously and with recall, whether or not they live in places where someone may have committed suicide. Overcoming fear is part of development, I guess that is why courage is seen as a virtue.
