(8) My Erroneous Out of the Body Experience

This experience to me was a funny one as you will soon see why. After the Emme Katherine Park distance healing session I did (story is on my journal titled "My Distance Healing for Emme Katherine Park", I began to write about it and wrote about it on my journal.

Since now I am not taking my restless leg syndrome medication anymore I said to myself "now I can have an Out of the Body Experience (OOBE) and not be disturbed by RLS anymore". I was happy because the RLS and the medication was inhibiting me from going into an OOBE and it was recking havoc on my intuition. I stopped doing card readings because of this, I stopped until I finished taking the medication and now waiting until the medicine is totally out of my body, I will start my card readings again.

I said my protection payers for the whole day and I was ready.

I brushed my teeth and washed my face and went to bed. I was at the earth lying position, I laid down flat with one pillow because your head can't be up to high, looking up with my arms to my side palms side down. I got this technique by reading Dr. Albert Taylor's book "Soul Traveler". He calls this technique the preflight technique, funny name. He also calls OOBE "Soul Traveling", I like that name. I began to relax and went into a mild meditation, my imagery was "I am an eagle soring in the sky through green meadows, pristine rivers". I wasn't sleepy yet and it was because I was hyper from the healing I did earlier. Its much easier for me to sleep on my side facing to my right, I am use to that, so I did it to get me started.

Suddenly I am in my living room, I was aware of what was going on. Reading an experience by a member of astral_explorers · ASTRAL TRAVELERS & SPIRIT EXPLORERS, Karen, I decided to to take flight, I jumped out of the window and began to fly around, I was saying to myself but didn't pay too much attention to it "this doesn't seem like an OOBE to me", it was different. I gave it no thought anymore and kept flying around. I decided to land and there were many people walking around. I went into this tavern sort of place. There were about eight people inside the tavern. I started to have a conversation with someone but then I started to feel like I was fading out, it didn't feel like I was snapping back into my body, so I concentrated and came back, but it all changed. The people were sitting down eating, I saw cookies and cake and I asked if I can have a piece of cake, someone said "yes in the refrigerator you can find some". I took out a small piece of chocolate cake, my favorite. I ate it, I started to fade out again, came back again. This time I was standing in a room, then I thought "let me see if I can contact my spirit guide" since I wanted to know his name. I called out "spirit guide please come to me", suddenly this cat that looked like a cat I had as a child called Goldy started coming towards me and stopped. I asked the cat "are you my guide", a spirit guide can take any shape they want to. The cat said "yes", I was so happy, then I asked "can you tell me your name". The cat said "Bernard", I was so happy that now I knew the name of my guide. Then the cat turned into a young woman about the age of twenty one or so. She started to talk to another woman, I stood there looking and listening to them.

Then I lost control and faded back and came out of my OOBE as I thought. I started to think about it and I realized that I was having a lucid dream instead of an OOBE, I said to myself "this sure fooled me". To those that have OOBE's and that are experience in OOBE's this can happen. OOBE's are different from lucid dreams because when an OOBE starts you are completely aware of it and lucid and can be very clear, when you have a lucid dream it can start out as a regular dream then turn into a lucid dream when you become aware that you are dreaming, but in my case it started out as a lucid dream, this is what fooled me, this erroneous OOBE was too changing and erratic and I didn't feel myself coming back from an OOBE as I always do.

I guess I was so excited to have an OOBE again that it got the best of me. I wonder if the cat (Bernard) was really my spirit guide, because guides do enter your dreams to give you guidance. Well from now on I will call my guide by Bernard until otherwise. Guides communicate with you when you are ready, I am not rushing it because there are some issues that I have to work out, even though I long for it as do many other people.
