I first wandered into this thread when it was only a few posts long, i was bored looking through ATS and was just looking for some 'food for thought', well, i was intrigued, i had never heard of an OOBE or Astral Projection in the way you guys talk about them, a near death experience would be the closest I suppose, but to actively persue an OOBE, wow.
So anyway, sometime later i was lying awake in bed one night (could have been days or weeks later I can't recall now) I remembered reading this thread and decided to give it a go. The only thing I could think of was the ' imaginary rope over your head and pulling yourself up with your imaginary hands ' method lol that I had read about somewhere, well, needless to say i drifted off to sleep. I do not know how long I was asleep for, but then it happened; I heard a voice clearly say "It Is Time..." and with that a gushing wind type of sound surrounded me and my whole body felt like it was vibrating. Now this was such a shock to me that I woke up. I have to point out that I only realised this was normal when I re-read this thread the next day, I experienced the wooshing sound and vibrations without knowing anything about them.
When I awoke, I could sense or feel a presence in the room, its hard to descibe, it was really close to me, almost up against me, more on my left side than on my right (like someone was sitting or lying beside me) and yet all over the room also. I turned over and lay on my right side but I could still feel it there behind me. Now at this stage this whole episode had scared the crap out of me, I dont think I was ever as scared as that in my life. Then a thought popped into my head, this isn't going to stop unless I do something about it, I don't know where I got the courage from but I sat up, looked in the general direction of where I felt this coming from and said out loud in a trembling voice "Would You Ever F@#K OFF !" and almost instantly the whole 'feeling' or atmosphere in the room changed back to normal and I was left sat there looking into the dark, a bit bewildered and wondering wtf just happened.
I look in on this thread from time to time and I always meant to tell you guys about my experience but with work and one thing or another (life in general) I just never had the time and so many years have flown by already ! Lately I find myself thinking about what happened a lot and I have tried many times to OOBE but with no success. Why I said that particular sentence to it I have no idea because that's not like me at all, did I tell my 'guide' or 'helper' to F Off ? That sounds funny when I read it out loud

So there it is, my story, make of it what you will. I would love to hear your opinions on it and any advice/help/comments would be appreciated.
