Just to let everyone know, although I have been following threads here for years, this thread is the reason I finally decided to get my 20 replies in so I could start my own.
.
I decided to join after what happened to me last night.
.
First let me give a little background. I have had OOB experiences my whole life. I always looked at it as nothing more than transferring my consciousness. My 10 year old daughter has experienced this since she was 5. It seems to be characterized, in the waking hours, by having an adrenaline rush and strong desire to hide from certain individuals. Not in the sense of being afraid, but as sort of a thrill seeking game that overwhelms me.
.
I began my lucid dream flying or levitating. As I was approaching a populated area I got the feeling I was being followed. I accelerated my pace and landed by what seemed to be a library or museum.
.
I had a metal box with a radioactive rating on it. The guard checked me out and asked me what the rating of the box was and I remember hoping that it was a 6 and not a 7. The guard thought it was strange that I didn't know the rating, but let me in when we both discovered it was a six.
.
I started cataloging artifacts and then I got the message to flee and hide because the person that was following me before was in the building. I assessed my body and realized that the body I was in was only about 5 feet tall and really thin. I stashed the box and ran down the stairs to a lower level looking for an exit or hiding place. I found one and decided to hide. As soon as I got settled I started to swoon and awoke in my bed in my own body.
.
What brought me back to the body was an adrenaline rush. Upon waking I was burning hot in my spine and soaked in sweat. My heart was beating over 600 beats a second, but it was more like a vibration or frequency instead of a solid beat!
.
Kinda scary, but comfortably numb at the same time. What WAS scary was the fact that my heart was vibrating at the same frequency as the cable box at the foot of my bed. (Which was off before I went to sleep.). I stayed awake about 45 minutes afterwards to document and kinda sort things out.
After documenting, I instantly remembered that I had done a lot of missions like this one throughout my life and was kinda angry that I was not able to do it at will.
.
I instantly hoped that I had not harmed anyone while doing this in the past and had the feeling that my conscious was somehow transferred to that other body.
.
Can anybody else throw me a bone or something? I mean WTF?
.
Should I worry about what my daughter has in store for her future?
.
Anybody else experience anything remotely similar to this?
.

If your heart was beating that fast, you would have died instantly. There's no way that you survived 600 beats per second. Some people have heart attacks when their hearts reach 200+ beats per minute. It must have been something else.

Thank you for your input.
.
It was just a descriptive guesstimate not a literal number. My heart was more like vibrating or beating very shallow not actual normal sleeping beats. The BPM was more in the line of trying to describe the frequency. I was awake at that time not sleeping as I had a witness who verified the next day everything I said.

That was a nice story, could have made a great scene in a movie. Thanks for sharing.

Did you happen to get a look/mental glimpse of the individuals you were hiding from?

The reason I ask is because I have dreamt of hiding from certain individuals as well. It's wierd to describe but what I found is that they are sort of men in black type of guys - black suits, shoes, very stiff. They just sort of are in the background. Not outright threatening, but you instinctly know they are sort of lurking to gather info. or trip you up. They could be construed as shadows following you, but not "shadow people". Sound familiar?

I only seem to sense them when I am doing something important in my dream.

@itsallmaya
Bingo you hit the nail on the head. Never really got a look, but through therapy (when I was a kid) I was able to find out that it was the grey face that struck terror in me.
.
When I saw "close encounters of the 3rd kind" accidentally as a kid, it literally paralyzed me seeing them peel out from the ramp with the thin arms. That's when my mom took me to the shrink.

I learned to control the fear and replaced it with anger, but that didn't go well. So now I am ok with it all no fear, but you are right the face could knock me out of the lucid state if I looked I suppose.
.
Never saw the MIB. Strike that my post to the demon thread had MIB type figures when I was 17, but there was a female in the group of 4. You got me thinking now. Star for you.

@Condemned0625
.
Thanks for the post.
.
If they were spying on me and I was somewhere I was not supposed to be (say Bahgdad antiquities), who is sending me there, how are they doing it without my knowledge for so long and how can I learn to initiate the activity myself? Obviously they are not aligned with the MIB.
.
As to your GF's issue:
.
Maybe she should try ethereal projection. Unless we are mixing the 2 up.
.

@Condemned0625
.
Good point
.
It seems like we have no other option left but to release the ancient teachings and begin mass instruction to train those who have awakened in the spiritual arts. We can knock the MIB out of their bodies to keep them from infringing on our souverenty.
.
I discussed your post when I woke up this afternoon with my witness. She reminded me of the first thing I told her when I woke up that I somehow blocked out. The figures chasing me WERE dressed in black and I told her I thought they had black trench coats.
.
I don't remember if you were one of the people that commented on my time in the Marine Corps. But they were very up front with my whole series that they were trying something new with us psychologically. This was at the start of desert shield before the museums started getting looted. I wonder if there is a connection?
.

That's pretty cool and a little unnerving too.

I'd be interested if you or Condemned's girlfriend could share more stories like this, maybe it could help paint a bigger picture, see stuff the other might have missed to help us all understand better the motives and explanations?

It seems like I am starting to remember more when I wake up now. I had another experience today (I am working nights now) similar to the original OP.
.
This time I remember starting with a group in a training class for an engineering project. There was a partner with me in a passive position, but every time I hesitated to do something out he took over and I followed. Everybody was in a human body this time. Except for some "very old" people who just sit around in strategic shadows and watch you very closely.
.
I am now realizing that these "missions" have a Dark city, matrix, inception feel to them. (All movies I am naming.) I seem to be an architect type and can change the scenery to suit my needs. And these people need me to do this for them because the others do not seem to be as advanced and or keep waking up and disconnecting.
.
The thing I really noticed was being led by my emotions. Hunger and lust in this particular scenario. Also I see full vivid color which implies it is not a dream, but lucid.
.
They had a nice buffet laid out with tempting deserts and there I went. I didn't eat anything because it didn't look like there was enough for everyone. So all of the sudden my partner shows up and says "I've been looking for you we gotta go."
.
We get to the seminar (which is an adventure in itself complete with him stealing a car and scratching the hell out of it) and everybody is in this giant swimming pool. But there's a problem; the engineer has to make an underwater extraction and can't get in the pool because the water is too cold. So he leaves.
.
I am sent to find him and bring him back at all costs. Before moving I immediately begin thinking. I notice that the seminar seems to be a huge estate so I think that the owner might have a plexi-glass viewer under the pool. Kind of like at sea world or any aquarium where you walk under water to observe.
.
As I look for a set of stairs I am stopped by a very attractive asian looking female. She leads me down the stairs and insinuates that she wants to have sex. Which seems like an odd time to be pointing this out, but in similar fashion to the buffet I am like OK. She wants to get away from the "old men" hiding in the shadows and motions to a room with artifacts and these huge raw uncut gems on display.
.
I am trying to find a way to secure the doors at her request. Both of them close but there were no locks. So I imagine a locking mechanism and there it is. One of them closes and locks, but not all the way and the old men sitting in the dark can see through the opening.
.
She pulls me over as if to kiss me then reaches for the uncut softball sized sapphire and says, "you know if I took this no one would even know. You could take one too and who could see us?".
.
At this point I become aware that I am completely off mission and realize that this chick is trying to get me to steal for her the very thing everyone in the water needed the engineer to get.
.
So upon realizing that I am instantly reconnected with the group upstairs. They mention that "the alien creature got away" and we need to bring it back and put it in this cage. I think the alien is the female I encountered. I reach out with my mind to slow her down and I can see it working. I start pulling her back towards the cage and almost have it. Then a thought pops into my mind "you are not telekinetic." All of the sudden I see the alien slipping farther away into the distance and then she is gone. I immediately woke up.
.
Now call me crazy, but also call me fairly certain that there were a lot of elements in this experience worth exploring:
.
Dark figures in shadows; being led by emotion; color; conscious creation of items and landscapes; other figures leading me; cold water waking people up; telekenisis; thoughts going in my head telling me what I cannot do; alien hunting.
.
Not bad for a friday afternoon I say.
.

Very interesting post....

thank you for sharing and i look forward to reading more.
