Out-of-Body Experience all-in-the-head
A few years ago I had a sleepless night in which I also felt an Out-of-Body Experience. At the time I thought it might be Astral projection. I did propose that it could be in my head. While I was really thinking it could have a psychological cause, it is just as possible to be physiological.
Now today, I read an article in the New York Times that actually confirms my theory that Astral-projection, Out-of-Body Experience, etc. really is in your head.

I am totally against your, and New York Times theory. I have read up on out of body experience and discovered that the reason why sometimes I wake up and can’t move or talk since I was 5yrs. old, is because I am at the very begining stage of OBE. I read that if you wake up and is paralized all over to lift your head up. It also explains that you will feel a force and the urge to snap your head back, but if you keep lifting your head the force feeling will eventually go away, which is when you have seperated from yourself.
One day I woke up and I was paralized all over and soon remembered the book I previously read. I then began to lift my head up and I felt everything that the book described. As soon as I did not feel the force anymore, I opened my eyes to discover that I was sitting up in my bed. I was over taken by disappointment thinking that “Once again another aurthor just trying to make money.” I turned around to lay on my stomach and go back to sleep. I turned around to myself sleeping (exactly the way I was positioned when I started the out of body experience). I FREAKED OUT! My heart started beating so fast and so hard that it scared me even more. I had a million thoughts rush through my head. At first I was in disbelief, then I had a overwellming feeling of regret, then I went in disbelief again and thought that I had died in my sleep. Then I freaked out again. I instantly laid down thinking that I would snap back in my body (like the movies), but it didn’t work. I was trying, it seemed like, forever to be connected with my body. I did everything! I tried to line my soul up with my body, I imaged myself reattaching myself with my body. By that point I pretty much was convinced that I was dead. The last thing I did was lay down, closed my eyes and prayed. In the middle of my prayer I felt a drop. I lift my head up and didn’t see my body anymore and discoverd that I was connected again. When I told my family about my experience, they thought I was on drugs, and everybody else of coarse didn’t believe me either. The only ones that believe me is my best friend, beacause she can tell when I’m lying, and my second best friend, because she has experienced spirital sightings in her teen life.
I believe it not only because it happened to me, but to so many people around the world and we all experience the same actions, and same feelings. Why is it so hard for people to believe in out of body experience? Is it because they can’t take it in a lab and study it?
In Durham, North Carolina 1973, reasearchers at the Psychical Research Foundation tested Keith Harary; a man that claimed he could have out of body experiences when desired. They had him in one room supervised by Dr. Robert Morris, and in another room the had researcher doing a number of activities. Keith Harary described every single action in great details of what was going on in the opposite room.
So here is my question to you, and all other disbelievers. If out of body experience is all in your mind, than how do you explain Keith Hararys alleges. How do you explain, my experience and every other person in this world experiences to be so alike in many ways?
