During that relaxation time, I have heard talking and 2 times I have heard someone SHOUT my name which brought me out of that state. On 2 occasions I have heard "the music" and if you have heard it, you know what I mean. It is like nothing my physical ears have ever heard before. It is like Angelic choirs and the most beautiful music you could imagine.

I have to admit - I feel like Gene here in that I'm very very interested in the phenomenon but have never had an out of body experience nor been close to achieving one. I've never even had a lucid dream. I've bought some books on the subject but, truthfully, never really put in enough effort to claim I've given it an honest go.
As to the "reality" of the out of body experience, I think that's something to be worried about later. First and foremost, achieving a conscious OBE should be the goal. If and when that can be accomplished, then we can start to explore the phenomenon and form hypotheses based on our observations.
What do my fellow posters think? Are OBEs real in an objective sense, with something actually leaving the body, or are they just some bizarre, extremely lucid form of daydream that occurs totally in our heads? Either way, I yearn for the day I can achieve an OBE because I know it's going to be crazy fun.

I woke up in the middle of the night, and this popped into my head
"The old man has just been shot by a goat"
It seemed such an odd thought to have, I thought I should write it down so I wouldn't forget the next day. It actually made me laugh for a while, but being sleepy and tired, I went back to sleep.
Anyway, the next day my father told me he had a dream in which he'd been at some kind of animal place, he looked at a goat and he said it pulled a gun on him and fired.
I was so amazed I didn't say anything (my fathers quite sceptical of such things)
So what could explain what had happened?
Are thoughts and dreams some kind of information field that its possible to tap into in a certain state, and catch a glimpse of someone else's dream, much like radio stations when you are hopping from station to station and tuning into different programs (information)
I'm not sure, but it was a weird experience to say the least. In a way it confirmed to me that thoughts are energy much the same as any other, and the brain is able to decode and translate that energy into information, much the same way as a TV decodes the electromagnetic wave into pictures and sound.

Did they sound familiar to you ?
What makes you think they are not paranormal ? (my last questions probably sounds like wishful thinking but this isn't intended)
Thank you in advance for your reply
