Many people experience a certain kind of dream which may actually be an astral travel experience. They fall asleep and find themselves floating. Looking down they can see their physical body lying apparently dead on the bed. The thought that they might be dead makes them shudder and panic.
This causes them to return to their physical body and believe it was all a dream. They soon get over it and return to sleep. Maybe it was not a dream. Maybe they were consciously outside of their bodies without appreciating the full significance of it.
In the days of the Egyptian Pharaohs astral travel was known about only by royalty. Today knowledge is widespread. Anyone can access vast amounts of astral travel writings over the internet.
What is an Out of Body Experience?
These experiences often happen when an individual is on the verge of sleep. They usually are unaware they are outside of their body until they feel themselves pulled back inside the body by some unseen force. This is usually within a minute of departing.

How to Have an Out of Body Experience
The first step is get totally comfortable. The experience will often start with a feeling of vibration or shaking. To enhance your chances you need to be fully relaxed. Loosen your clothing and remove jewelery if necessary. Make sure the room temperature is just right; slightly warmer than cold is ideal.
Next you will need to concentrate to reach what is known as the hypnagogic state. This is when you are on the verge of sleep. Go deep into this state and you will slowly lose all awareness of your physical senses.
Have your eyes closed and fix your eyes on an imagined spot above your head. Make a mental image of the vibrations out there and slowly pull them into your mind. At about this stage your body will begin to vibrate.
This is a difficult state for beginners to enter, let alone remain in and stay controlled. You may need to practice several times before you are confident or reaching it.
Going from the Hypnotic State to Achieving Full Out of Body Awareness
As your body vibrates the aim is to control these vibrations into pulses. Experts recommend reaching for an object that is normally out or your reach. Feel the object and allow your hand to pass right through. Then you can control the vibrations to pull the object close to you.
When you are able to reach this position and comfortably remain in it you are ready to lift out of the physical body. Start thinking about weightlessness and imagine yourself floating upwards.
Some reach this state by “rolling” over the bed as though getting up off it. Twist your body and face the ceiling as you float up to it. There are many different techniques you can employ. Try different ones until you find what works for you.
Keep practicing this process and in a short time you will be able to achieve an out of body experience at will.
