Check out Astral Projection

Honestly, I'm scared to look it up.....Is it something bad? If so and if I go and look it up it will scare my forever and I may never sleep in my bedroom again......


I kinda wish I never had looked at this thread now.

Now I'm even more scared!

NO! Its not bad at all!!
Have you ever been lying awake somewhat in a dozing state and you somehow find yourself "floating" around your house or other places but when you realize whats going on you snap back?



From Wikki

Astral projection (or astral travel) is an esoteric interpretation of any form of out-of-body experience (OOBE) that assumes the existence of an "astral body" separate from the physical body and capable of travelling outside it.[1] Astral projection or travel denotes the astral body leaving the physical body to travel in the astral plane.

What you are feeling when you feel frozen is when your "astral body" is returning to your physical and you wake up in the process. Its really rather neat! Some people have trained themselves to be conscious during their travels. Ive tried training myself but havent worked at it aggressively enough, your head is always the last part to leave it seems and I always seem to get "stuck".​

Darn, I sleep so soundly that I wouldn't know if a tractor trailer ran over me, let alone float around the house...

I do remember that after my Dad passed away I had some really really vivid dreams about him. I loved having those dreams because it felt like he was still around. I haven't had a dream like that in quite a long time. I know it is common to have those kind of dreams after someone close to you passes away.

Wow that's actually pretty cool...and scary at the same time!

A little creepy sounding...but like you said, kinda neat.

And actually I have found myself kinda walking around my house in different places...Then I would wake up and remember it and I thought that maybe I was sleep walking.

Or it was a dream...

Thanks!

(but ghosts still kinda scare me...

After my mom passed away (a little over a year) she was showing up in my dream, really really vivid dreams.
She never would talk but would always touch my face and have an 'I love you' expression on it.

The last dream I had of her was of her funeral. The surroundings were different, much more beautiful. It was outside and we (my family and I) were sitting on a marble caliseam. Her coffin (she was creamated so this was different too..) had a large marble wall going up behind it also. It was rather beautiful.
There my family and I were sitting when my mom sits up from the coffin, gets out, and starts laughing, just laughing at all of us. We all ran down to hug her. That was it, I woke up.
I felt happier though.


I had a dream much like it about a couple weeks before of my uncle. Sat up in his coffin laughing at us all and we all ran to hug him.

I think those dreams were messages from them saying do not mourn over my death for we will all reunite again one day.

Ok... Heres another incident that happened to me... In my old home, I lived there for about 5 years before anything ever happened... I was the 3rd owner of this cool 100+ yr old house. The folks that build it had several children. The house ended up being lived in by the last 2 spinster daughters. Anyway I worked 3rd shift, my husband worked days, and would come home for his lunch... One day, I was upstairs in our room and I was awake because I never sleep... I heard the door downstairs open, and someone walking up the stairs, down the hall, and then my bedroom door opened and someone walked over to the bed. I had my back to the door.. I said "Hey Gary! Hows you're day goin?" No response... I kinda got scared, scared like maybe there was a serial killer there or something, I was afraid to turn around. I could feel them standing there! (the feeling is like an energy, or a fuzzy noise that happens to me at times) I turned around, there wasn't anyone there! Creepy!!!! I never slept up there by myself again! After that, our sons little electric lawnmower would start up on its own... Gary thought I was nuts until the same thing happened to him! I figured maybe one of the sisters had passed on and came home... But now I'm really home. In the home I was raised in... Grandpa died asleep on the couch, where I'm sitting right now, and I've never had any weird feelings, creepy feelings, or anything for that matter. I can stay here alone.. no problem.. I think I would be happy to see Grandma or Pap. But Its not happened... not here..

One of my dreams about my Dad made me mad. I dreamt that he didn't die, but he had a second family. I woke up mad at him for cheating on my Mom!!!

I had another dream that he was an evil clown and he was driving a race car. I would love to have that dream analyzed! My Dad wasn't a clown, but he did drive race cars.

In that same old house, Kennedys closet door would be closed at night, and would come open by itself... I never told her..

Are you me or in my old house? LOL


One day, my bathroom door opened on its own. Skeptic that I was, I tried to find someway it could do that. Not finding any way, I began to dare the whatever it was to do that again. It did. So I shut the door and pulled on it to make certain that it clicked shut. Over and over I did this, getting more and more upset. Finally I locked the door and dared it to open the door, nothing happened. Smiling, I unlocked the door and discovered that the door latch had mysteriously broken. It wouldn't shut after that. No it was not broken before that. I had pulled and pulled on the shut door and even banged by shoulder against it.

I think that the ghost-or whatever- must have gotten annoyed with me.​

Shew. I thought Q9 was serious.

I'm not sure if he/she is serious or not...it seems like it's not real and I figured it was a joke.

I'm dead serious. This is no laughing matter, the evidence is overwhelming that OF COURSE IT IS A JOKE!!!!

I used this tactic on a similar thread a few months back to make those who believe in ghosts look silly. It was actually quite successful. I have precisely the same amount of evidence for that clearly ridiculous post as the rest of the posters have for ghosts. I'm sorry to be this blunt, but I couldn't be so cruel as to keep this joke going. I do believe in the supernatural, but it is limited to angels, demons, and God. I am a Christian, and the Bible is quite explicit as to where the soul goes after death. Ghosts are mental phenomena, a simple hallucination. Extreme cases, however, could be demons appearing to be relatives or other people, one of Satan's tactics to divert people from the Truth. To those who are dissappointed that their relatives are not still "with them," all I have to say is this. Death is not the end. The soul remains alive for all of eternity, either in paradise or a living death.

Mods, I know this post is rather religious, but give me a break. People are on here talking about other supernatural things they believe in.
