activity. This caused the phase to fade and my being thrown
back into reality. In total, there were about five successive
entries into the phase that lasted for 2 to 3 minutes each. The
experiences were not stable at all, which is why I was
examining my surroundings in a hurry, always trying to get
ahold of anything I could get my hand on. However, there
were a good amount of impressions, considering that it was
my first entry.
SPONTANEOUS EXPERIENCES
Sometimes a person does nothing to reach the phase or
even knows nothing about it - but it nonetheless occurs
spontaneously for him. This usually happens during
relaxation, slumber, awakening, a dream episode, or the like.
Analysis of mistakes in these accounts has been kept to a
minimum in consideration of the fact that their authors lacked
prior knowledge regarding the phase.

My first out-of-body experience was very dramatic. I fell
asleep around 4-5am. I experienced a sensation all over my
body, I was in a meditative state of sleep, but at the same
time I was aware of what was going on with me. I had this
feeling of a tingling sensation all over my body followed by
paralysis.
Suddenly I found myself levitating from the bed and
wound up in a standing position. I got very scared and started
praying, asking the lord to protect me. Then I got back into
my body, quick like a flash. When I woke up I had this feeling
like I needed to understand what just happened to me. I did
some research and I was told that you can travel places, and
go to the moon so I couldn’t wait to try again. That day, I was
feeling so good with myself, I felt I have discovered
something new and exciting!
