It has not yet been established completely whether out of body experiences are for real or not. This is due to the fact there is still no solid proof for the same. An out of body experience or OBE is s feeling of floating outside of the body. G.N.M Tyrrell in his book called Apparitions introduced this term in the year 1943. Subjective awareness from a vantage point outside of one’s physical body is described in this book.
This is at times linked with mystical trances, near death experiences, hypnagogic or hypnopompic dreams, etc. With both astral projection and dreaming, an OBE may be contrasted with.
In an OBE there is a feeling of floating outside of the body however this is not the case with astral projection. When there is dream be it lucid or otherwise, a strong perception of being awake and conscious is there which is in contrast to OBE’s.
With every out of body experience some aspects differ. Possibility of different types of OBE’s with different causes and meanings is there. Let’s take a look at different OBE cases where there were different things reported.
There were people who reported either being asleep, or on the verge of sleep or been asleep shortly before in many OBE cases. Out of these cases which are reported many of them refer to situations where this kind of sleep is not largely deep. Many factors could lead to this situation, such as noises in other rooms, illness, exhaustion from overworking, emotional stress, etc.
There are other situations as well associated with OBE’s; one in which the sensation of being outside the body is rather that is suddenly realized after the fact and almost by accident they see their bodies. Second, they either find themselves being pulled from their bodies or will themselves out of their bodies. These experiences of OBE’s are not usually long, may be for a minute or so.
Then there are some OBE’s reported which get completed with an unexpected sensation of popping or snapping back into their bodies. Then there are some experiences who have reported to go through religious epiphanies; there are some who experience a universal feeling of peacefulness and love and some who experience nervousness and apprehension. Then there are some experiences reported where there is no directly any kind of spiritual experience.
People have given mixed opinions regarding the OBE’s objective reality. Many individuals believe the incidence is exactly how it feels like and that the soul departs the body and discover things. There have been instances of positive OBE accounts and some even maintain that the experience was dream like and regularly cite the occurrence with a spiritual effect.
Some experiences of positive OBE accounts have been reported and some maintain that the experience was just like a dream and frequently quote the incidence with a spiritual effect.
We cannot disapprove OBE’s; however a solid evidence for these experiences is yet awaited. The study of the observations given by the people who have experienced OBE’s has not been done to the satisfaction of the scientific community. Messages are received from out of body experiences or generally they may or may not be recognized at first either in the form of archetype or symbols. A solid proof is yet awaited for these experiences.
