I've had hundreds of OOBE's most in childhood. Don't recall ever having physical manifestations from it, though I think a lot in adulthood happened while holding my breathe. Might actually be seizure induced. They tend to happen to me on occasion towards the end of big projects when I'm so exhausted I can barely make it to the bed. Love that feeling of release.

I think it is your belief system is so strong you are transferring these pains to the physical.
Everything exists spiritually before physically. So if your belief is so strong that you are heavy, thick and can get hurt, your physical body is translating that belief into a reality.
You might also be picking up on your spirit bodies pain in the physical. Try to do some mediations about the pain fading and melting away. It might help .
maung: I got that often when i was young and learned about spiritual alot. Some injury come from my spirit injury manifest into physical, its hurt but no physical injury, and few with physical. One is a big scar on my chest, like a 3 big claw, bleed a bit but not deep enough.
Most of it because of fighting with the other thing. Some from oobe while i am asleep, some from oobe while im sitting.
maung: My point is that this is very possible, some area will be differ with another area. It will be depends on the culture of the unseen in the area. Just need to be carefull doing this, if you already know the different between normal sleep and oobe it is better to be carefull. But better is not to do it too much, only when needed.

The Monroe Technique: Dr Robert Monroe, one of the foremost authorities on Astral Projection devised this method. Advertisements You have to first relax your body. This is a very important step. Then try to go to sleep, but don’t fall asleep. Maintain your awareness between sleep and wakefulness. This is known as the hypnagogic state. Then deepen this hypnagogic state and start to clear your mind of unwanted thoughts. Simply look through your closed eyelids at the blackness in front of you. Then you must enter an even deeper state of relaxation. The next step is to induce vibrations throughout your body and intensify them. These vibrations have to be controlled and intensified further. This is the moment when the Astral body will separate from the Physical body. You then simply have to “roll-over” and you will find yourself out of your body.
residentofearth: Is this the Monroe's way for sure?

daskakik:I had an OOBE years ago where I was walking around town. I ended up in an alley and I saw someone I knew on a second story porch. The waved for me to join them and I noticed a tree limb near the porch. I decided to jump, grab the limb and swing unto the porch. As soon as I grabbed the limb I felt it dig into my hands. I awoke and sat straight up still feeling tha pain. The first thing I did was look around to see if there was anything that I could have grabbed in my sleep that would have caused what I was feeling. There was nothing within reach.
daskakik: At the time I was sleeping in a pretty bare attic. A street light cast a good amount of light through a window so I got up and walked to it to check my hands and sure enough there were marks. Not cuts or even scratches but a bit of redness.
Daskakik: Going off topic, since Monroe was brought up, I remember you saying in another thread something about reconnecting with a God creator. Now having read Monroe's books I have to ask, what do you make of the "sub-plot", for lack of a better term, of AA and BB, apparently as aliens, visiting earth as a sort of amusment park? Did you notice that?
Daskakik: I think that the third book was a little new agey, which to me was a bit of a let down and have read that he and the publisher didn't see eye to eye on the content of that book.

This was how long ago? Have you been paying attention to more recent experiences as they are progressive as to your learning curve. OOBEs are lessons that add to your soul progression.
Was there any point in this 'sequence' you realized you were not "dreaming" but actually physically aware you were alive and experiencing a physical moment? You fell, felt pain. Have you eaten or drank or had full senses all 5 senses of awareness in what you would call a "dream state"? You were sleeping in a bare attic; that if tossing or turning could cause injury?
Not off topic at all. The point of the soul is to reconnect to the AUO (the boring creator). I don't see a sub-plot, I see alternatives; BB is Bill Yost AA is Robert Monroe NA is his wife Nancy (philistines!). Daskakik; Earth IS an amusement park RIDE (not to be taken too seriously). I NOTICED.
Within all of this, yet not a part of it, you are aware of the source of the entire span of your experience, of you, of the vastness beyond your ability to perceive and/or imagine. Here, you know and easily accept the existence of the Father. Your true Father. The Father, the Creator of all that is or was. You are one of His countless creations. How or why, you do not know. This is not important. You are happy simply because you are in your Right Place, where you truly belong.

dask: Big TOE reference? I don't know how far I made it into that book but I know I couldn't finish it.
being a form of entertainment, soul progression and connecting to AUO just don't compute.
dask: AUO wanting you to connect and upload your experiences was exactly what Manula's thread was about. AUO doesn't care about soul progression. It wants shared experiences from all the genres and all points of view. It isn't going to get that if everyone is a saint.
dask: Similarly, beings choosing to play a holographic videogame just for the lulz doesn't have soul progression as its goal unless that is the theme of the game and even then it's only relevant within the game.
dask: we have "soul progression". What does that even mean? Monroe, in his first book goes on and on about Locale II and even mentions a Locale III. Locale II can seem hellish at times and heavenly at others and sometimes just like here-now.
dask: Yet in his second book none of that seems to play an important part. Instead he focuses, after giving a quick overview of what is being done at the institute, on the story of two friends from KT-95 who take a tour of earth and one of them becomes addicted to the human experience while his friend is left trying to drag him out of the "crack house".

Some of these experiences sound like alien experimentation your very vulnerable to this in your dream state. Aliens are interdimensional beings once you get to the higher 4th dimensions I would believe you would run into all sorts of entities trying to harm you but you can always fight back.
JustTamms:
In all my life, I never thought I'd come across anyone I could talk to about experiences like mine....never.
I wish I could give any kind of answers. All I can tell is my experiences since I was a kid.
I've always been able to taste, touch, smell, ask questions, get names, just live another life in my dreams. They've always been in color. I always remember them.
JustTamms : just last night, I dreamt me and a friend were in the wilderness, and she offered me a kumquat. It's been my whole life, to where I don't know any other way to dream. And yes, I've been out of body. Its....easy. But it's not always fun. I've always just done it.
JustTamms: I fell asleep during a nap today on my couch, and I knew I was "out", and I walked to my front door to see how the world was different outside my door, because I knew it would be. It's the "other" world. I've always read about people having to try so hard to lucid dream, and I want sit and here and say it's amazing or awesome. My experiences have been everything from beautiful to horrifying. I've always wondered why anyone would want to do dream that way willingly. It's the reason I'm up at four a.m. right now.
JustTamms: All I can say, is be careful. Wherever you travel or project, be respectful. Keep your eyes open. Help others, because you may come across others who are "out". I have, twice in my lifetime, that they were lost, and confused. But...yeah. Oobe. This is also my first time seeing it abbreviated like that. I hope people here know that yes it can be a joy, but if you're not careful, I do believe it could be dangerous too.
