Many folks talk about remembering experiences that they had as a kid, that may have been AP-related. Here's mine...

I used to have this series of dreams I called the "operation dreams."

They didn't have a pleasant association with me because I'd gone through a series of operations as a child, so when I called it an "operation dream" it usually referred to a dream about surgery or a dream that had the QUALITY of feeling as if I were under anesthetics again. I don't honestly feel that the dreams were a negative experience per se, just that as a kid I hated operations and I also hated the weird way that these dreams felt and just drew that association to something I had experienced.

The most common experience in those dreams was that I'd be lying down, either in my bed or a dream bed of some kind, and that a group of surgeon-like figures would be standing around me, much as they do in the OR, talking very insistently about me as if trying to decide the best way to go about something, or as if they were very intently watching my "patient chart."

Now at this point, one of two things would happen.. either one of the figures would put a mask on me to receive anesthetics and I'd fall asleep in the dream into another dream (or sometimes wake up) OR.. I'd feel myself sort of randomly shoved backwards/downwards, falling down through the bed... and their voices would start to get all stretched and weird and alien sounding as they got far away and the rushing noise got very loud in my ears and I had that "being sucked back through a reverse tunnel feeling." When this happened, nobody was shoving me, I was just... falling out of the scenario. Like, the doctors would just be arguing away about me and it wouldn't matter if I slipped away or not... maybe the "anesthesiologist" had cranked up the oxygen dial and they knew I'd wake up and had stopped paying attention to my "body. "

Anyways... Loud rushing noises, reverse tunnel feelings, "falling" sensation??

That sensation sounds familiar, doesn't it?!!! It was the SAME sensation I felt in returning from an OBE as an adult, and when I felt it I thought "Ah! Feels exactly like my operation dreams as a kid!"

Mostly in those dreams I hated how weird and screamy their voices would get as I was pulled out of the scenario and through that tunnel. It was a very strange sensation, because I'd think that I was being put to sleep in the OR but I was actually being woken up in my normal bed at home. One of those experiences around when I was maybe 9 or 10 pushed me through that tunnel so hard that I sat up like a rocket, as if still being propelled, hearing the noises fade away in my head, heart beating rapidly.

In fact, I had no idea which way my lower body was lying and when I tried laying down I guessed wrong and fell off the bed. I was pretty disoriented.

Now that I'd experienced those sensations, I gave second thoughts to those "doctors" as I think they were no ordinary dream. Nor did I feel like it was any kind of like, dispassionate abduction or experiment ... like I said, they seemed to be concerned ABOUT me without seeming to be concerning themselves OF me. (If you know what I mean.. OR surgeons are great at this.. talking about you as if you're not really there)

I just thought that was interesting.
