Have you ever had a dream where you felt that you came out of your body,
perhaps in the form of a soul or spirit, and then started to drift through
space? These are called out-of-the-body dreams, in which allows the
dreamer to go places without a body. What is different about these types
of dreams is that we can be fully conscious of the things that happen,
letting us observe events, and then remembering them upon waking up.
There is no limit to where an out-of-the-body dream can take us. A sleeper
can travel to the ceiling of his or her room or to the other side of the
continent. And,whenever he or she is about to wake up, it's as if an
invisible cord snaps them back to their body right before hand. Here is
some more information about out-of-the-body dreams:
* Dreamer can project inner self to a predetermined location and
reports back information
* Dreamer has no control of where he or she is going and travels to
random locations
* Dreamer remembers most or all of the events observed with the same
intensity and vivid clarity upon waking up
* Dreamer may feel extremely fatigued upon waking up, even though they
have slept many more hours than usual
* Dreamer may feel a sensation of falling down from great heights (e.g
a multiple storied building or gargantuan waterfall), spinning of
earth, right before they wake up
* Dreamer is able to go through solid walls, see one's own body below,
drift towards the ceiling of the room, or move at lightning speed
across landscape
* Dreamer can observe people or scenes, but usually without being able
to make voice contact with them
Starting from prophetic dreams, it seems as though the dreams get more
interesting as we move forward. Out-of-the-body dreams, I find, differ
from the other types of dreams, as they do not always involve a "tragic"
experience, but rather feels truly like somebody with psychic ability.
Here are some true dreams from Hanz Holzer's collection of people have had
dealing with out-of-the-body experiences in his book, The Psychic Side of
Dreams. Pay close attention, as perhaps you might have had a dream where
you too, have drifted through space and observed other people where they
have felt your presence.
Case Examples of Out-of-the-Body Dreams
1. "I have already mentioned Jane duke of Bakersfield, California, in the
previous chapter. Shortly before leaving for the East in 1970, Mrs. Duke
dreamt that she was at home in her parent's bedroom. It was early in the
morning and her father was just getting up. He looked up, in the dream,
and saw her standing there, and said, 'What in the hell are you doing
here?' Then he went on to the other room. On awakening, Mrs. Duke recorded
the dream.
Two weeks later she actually went East to stay with her parents. At first
she did not mention anything about her dream because she knew her parents
did not believe in such things and had no interest in the occult. But one
day her father took her aside and mentioned that he had seen her standing
in their bedroom one morning not long ago, when he knew good and well that
she was in California. He said he was so startled when he saw her standing
there, that all he could say was, 'What in the hell are you doing here?'
He had mentioned this experience to his wife at the time when it occurred.
Mrs. Duke had actually been seen cross-country in Pennsylvania while she
was asleep in Bakersfield, California" (Holzer 116-117).
2. "Elaine F. of Pennsylvania had been mentioned in one of the previous
chapters. She has come by her psychic talents through inheritance, it
would appear because her mother has recorded a most amazing
out-of-the-body experience. In this dream she returned to a town she had
been to before in similar dreams. The sun was shining brightly and she met
a man she had never seen before and found herself talking to him. He then
handed her his sunglasses and she heard herself say something about giving
them back to him because he would need them. He advised her that he would
be back for them.
The next day, Elaine F. and her mother went shopping. When her mother went
to get her coat-the same coat she had been warning in the dream the night
before-she found a pair of men's sunglasses in one of the pockets. Neither
woman had ever seen the glasses before and, considerably puzzled by their
sudden appearance, they placed them on the stereo set and left the house.
When the two returned, they went to look at the glasses again to see if
there were any identifying marks on them, but the glasses had disappeared"
(Holzer 117-118).
3. "Mrs. Arlene W. of Chicago, Illinois, has had many psychic experiences
over the years. One in particular occurred when her stepson John was
having surgery on his arm to repair a severed never and tendons. It as a
delicate operation and Mrs. W. was justly concerned. During the night of
November 11, 1969, when John was already in the hospital, Mrs. W. dreamt
that she found herself in his hospital room. She saw him in bed and
realized he was in pain, and pushing the call button for a nurse. Mrs. W.
was standing behind his bed, looking down. She could see his bandaged arm
lying on a pillow on top of the sheets. A nurse came in with a hypodermic
needle on a metal tray. Mrs. W. could see her very clearly, the type of
cap, color hair, height and build. She watched as the nurse cleaned John's
biceps area and injected him with the needle. Almost immediately she could
feel him relax. Then, suddenly, Mrs. W. snapped awake, instantly alert.
She had an impulse to grab the clock and check the time; it was 2:05 A.M.
The following day she went to see her stepson and casually asked him how
he had slept. He informed her that he had had to have a shot at about two
in the morning. Mrs. W. described the nurse she had 'seen' and the
description fit the nurse who had given her stepson the injection. There
was no way in which Mrs. W. could have known this, since this particular
nurse had come on duty at 11 P.M." (Holzer 118-119).
4. "Mrs. Esther P. is an organist in the San Francisco area. She has had a
number of psychic experiences over the years, but the reason she
originally contacted me was to learn more about the mechanics of astral
projection. She wanted to know if a return to the physical body occurs
smoothly or if there is a jolt in connection with it. The incident which
prompted this inquiry happen in the 1960's. It was just before five
o'clock in the morning when Mrs. P. awoke, a short time before her alarm
was set to go off. All at once she was aware that she was above her bed,
looking down at her body. Then, the alarm went off, and she was on the bed
once more, but as she reached out to turn off the alarm, her hand went
right through the clock! At almost the same time the jolt occurred, and
this time she could shut off the alarm" (Holzer 123-124).
5. "Mrs. Janet J. of Bowling Green, Kentucky, is in her early thirties,
the mother of three children and used to ESP incidents through the years.
In 1963 she was brought to Lexington Memorial Hospital, having slammed the
car door on thumb. She found herself in severe pain, but suddenly, while
lying on a stretcher waiting for a doctor, she felt no pain at all and
realized she was out of her body, nearly at the ceiling and looking calmly
down at herself. The moment she realized what had happened, however, she
was jerked back into her body and the pain resumed. Similarly, when she
was given anesthetics during childbirth, she found herself both on the
bed, as the participant, and watching "herself" at a distance from
somewhere else in the room" (Holzer 124).
In the first dream, Mrs. Duke was able to travel across country to meet
her father in her dream. Later, her father recalled to her that he had
seen her, but he was so astonished that he just walked away. Could it be
possible that what the father saw was really her daughter or just a
illusion of his daughter. Perhaps there is a link between dreams and
ghosts. Could it be possible that some spirits or ghosts actually come in
the form of out-of-the-body dreams? Let's continue.
In the second dream, Elaine dreamt of meeting a man who gives her a pair
of sunglasses, telling her that he would need them back in the future.
Elaine's mother went to get the coat – the one in Elaine's dream – and
inside one of the pockets, was a pair of men's sunglasses. Startled, they
left the glasses on a stereo set and left. When they returned, the glasses
disappeared, just as the man had said. Have you ever experienced a time
where you knew an object was placed somewhere, and you knew no one had
touched the object, but the object seem to move by itself? Also, if Elaine
was only dreaming of a man giving her sunglasses, how is it is possible
that the pair of sunglasses appearing in her coat that she had never seen
before, but only know of in her dream? What is more eerie is the next
dream…
In the third dream, Mrs. Arlene was able to have a dream about her son
going through surgerynot knowing what time he was going to get surgery.
She drifted out of her body and into the room where her son was
hospitalized. She observed her son in pain, going through the procedure of
the nurse injecting him with the needle. The next day, the son told her
mother, Mrs. Arlene, that he indeed did go through pain, and was injected
with a needle, just as if Mrs. Arlene had dreamt. She was in a dream at
the same time she was also in the room of her son. How was it possible
that Mrs. Arlene was at the exact same place of her son's surgery, while
dreaming from far, far away in her own room? Could it be possible that
out-of-the-body dreams allow us to be at two points in space
simultaneously at the same point in time?
In the fourth dream, Mrs. Esther went out her physical body and went above
her bed. She looked down, and saw her own body. As the alarm clock went
off, she was on the bed, but when reaching the alarm, her hand went
through the clock. When she felt another "jolt", thenshe was able to turn
off the alarm clock. Thus, when we do go out of the body, are we able to
pass through physical objects? Also, when is the exact time where we
return to our bodies? Is it through a sudden jolt? Or is it through a
"jerk" of the body such as in the next dream.
In the final dream, Mrs. Janet was injured and found herself at the
hospital. But she went out of her own body and saw herself lying on the
stretcher. She was up in the ceiling, until she was "jerked" back into the
body. Later, she found herself both on the bed as a participant and
watching herself at a distance somewhere else in the room, as an observer.
Does this mean that out of the body dreams allow us to be in first and
third person mode? Again, can we be at two places at the same time? Can we
perhaps feel the presence of other people in our space without being able
to see them?
All these questions are questions that we should consider when dealing
with drifting out of our own bodies. The fascinating nature of these
dreams, it it's unique ability to simultaneously be in different places at
one moment in time and going to other areas in space and observing
different places. Perhaps there is a link to these experiences with
ghosts, and perhaps there isn't. But if our conscious or our soul has the
ability to drift around in space through dreams, and if other people can
"feel" this presence, than that unlocks another interesting insight about
communication with the "unseen," or another name for it would be,
"communication with the dead". In the next post, we'll be talking about
these types of dreams, called Survival Dreams.
