Apparently about 1 in 10 people claim to have had an ‘out of body’ experience?
Do you believe in ‘out of body’ experiences? Have any members had a personal experience of this or perhaps known somebody who claims to have? What were the circumstances of the experience and can you perhaps describe what happened?

I once was falling asleep on a hot beach. Then I had a dream that I was soaring about 4 meters up looking down on myself laying there.
Could it be that my brain was over heated?
I do not know if that counts.

A recent article in Time magazine described a study currently being initiated of near-death experiences — awareness of events and people, after one is clinically dead. This is one form of out-of-body experience.
The researchers base their work on the observation that death is not an event, but a process. Respiration stops, heart function stops, mental activity declines and stops, and various organs shut down. The premise being investigated is that the mind continues functioning, well after an EEG indicates cessation of brain activity.
It may be so. That would be one explanation why people who have been resuscitated after being declared clinically dead can describe what people said, and what occurred after their "death".
Other forms of out-of-body experience have been reported for thousands of years, from all around the world. The aborigines of Australia have their "dreaming", which is central to their lives. Gurus in India, by the thousands, have reportedly traveled long distances while their bodies were in a trance.
And so on. There are books and books about paranormal experiences.
Have I done it? Ummm, not intentionally. However, I have had some experiences of precognition, and one or two of clairvoyance. At least, so I believe. But what do those prove? Nothing.
All that I have seen and learned on theis topic merely convinces me to retain an open mind, recognizing that many things may be possible which we do not now apprehend or understand.
