I'm not making this up A while back I started having really frightening dreams over the course of three months. Probably this happened 8 or 9 times. The dreams would either be horrific or violent, or just too plain wierd for my mind to handle - like sheep with human heads. During these dreams I would sort of shout out and that would wake me up, the trouble is that I would then sit up in bed and could see people in my room and strange lights glowing under the doors and through the window blinds. I could even see my GF asleep in bed next to me and a clock on the bedside table etc, There would be almost ghostlike people (made of a kind of dense grey mist but with eyes that are just black oval shaped holes) walking through doors and walls. At this point I would shout out again and then be really shocked because I thought I already was awake and I would sit up, just as before but and the room would be exactly as I saw it but without the grey people. From this I think I know what an out of body experience is.
i have vivid memories of something similar, but this was many years ago, when i was still a pre teen. the year was 1957. there was no one next to me but my parents were asleep in rooms adjoining mine. the lights and the rest of it did not come from adjoining rooms where they were, but outside the windows of the second story sunporch that was in that house my bedroom. what was freakey was that the space between the bottoms of the window shades and the window sills, appeared to have been distorted into the shape of a sign wave. other then that it was definately the same room, bed, house. indeed i had been "awaikened" by the sensation of being unable to breath. something that happened from time to time when i was that age, but, fortunately hasn't happened since. no 'ghosties' in mine though. sheep with human heads sound like some kind of stupid christer crap on the idiot box. humanoids with sheep (and other) 'critter heads' can be often cool though. does sound like some sort of psyonic alien mind probe. i know who and why i was interesting too. i have of course no idea why you would be. this is mostly benign though the fear that was generated by it being done clumsily, well incompetance happens, even on more civilized worlds then our own. tecnicly i'm not so sure this equates to out of body, though the experts on that term tend to be perhapse that loose with it. but in the sense of what you experienced being in a sense real, sure. just that how your mind reacted to the probably unintended stimuli, was it's own response to it and not the stimuli itself. my guess, and this is only a guess, would be that you, like i, lived some if not all of your previous lives on worlds other then this one. i also know the in a dream state you (we all) can experience powerful feelings not obviously directly related to anything else going on in the dream, and or 'out of body' context. and i have no idea why this is either, other then conflicting, and not neccessarily entirely internal, stimuli. =^^= .../\...
The way you described the slats on the doors is exactly how it was for me - there were some slats on a couple of doors separating the bathroom fro the bedroom and light was pouring through them I dont know if they were twisted out of shape but that WAS DEFINATELY a big part of what I would see
i have had many exsperiences with Sleep paraylisis and out of body exsperiences. Many inwich had light in them. My first Sl. Prs. exsperience happened when i was laing in ben on my back when all the sudden i relized i couldnt move. I could only look around the room. Before i knew it i was being over whelmed by a growing lite that had apered above me. I was increasingly panicing as the light consumed me and tried dessparetly to move my fingers in till i finally wass abbile to jerk my hole arm and i woke up. Ive had other exsperiences with light slowly shifting in different directions at the bottem of the door or even doors opening with the bright light shining threw. I have also had out of body exsperienses where i have built the strength to leave my body a prime sleep states. As real as it seems i can not say for a fact that im leaving my body because it is broght on by sleep! But i can see the use of sleep to put the mind in a ready state for your soul to "detach"~
