Signs of an OBE

"How can you know if you have had an OBE?

There are some signs. For instance, dreams with extreme clarity, especially those where you find yourself happily hanging out with a deceased loved one is a good example; those dreams you say “it was too real to be a dream,” are great candidates for OBE. A feeling you cannot move your body, called catalepsy or sleep paralysis, is another; in catalepsy, you, in your spirit body, are very close to the physical counterpart, close enough to feel its rigidity and coldness, but are not entirely coincided with it, thus the paralysis.

Falling is another sign that you have been out of your body. If you are falling, you are returning to it following a brief escape from matter after having had a glimpse of your own immortality. 

Flying dreams are the most eloquent signs. If you are flying you are out. Flying dreams do not happen inside your head; it is you in your spirit body flying outside, either on the earth plane or the spiritual dimension. In my flying dreams, many of which I produce consciously upon  noticing that I am out of my body, I have seen the outside of my house as I returned to my body and the parking lot as I left it. During a hurricane in Miami a few years ago, I found myself flying outside in the middle of the night having a bird’s view of the damages. 

These are just a couple of examples of the many flying dreams I have had which prove to me beyond the shadow of a doubt that flying dreams are not neuronal productions. When we dream that we are flying we are actually out of our body experiencing for a moment our physical independence."
