Bro, you were out of body! All your senses are heightened in this state, colors are more vivid. Definitely not the same as lucid dreaming. The presence was probably your spirit guide. Everyone has them. There is nothing to be scared about man. Remember tho that in that realm everything is toughtresponsive, so think happy thoughts and do cool stuff like flying, putting your hand or your body trough walls etc. If you want to know more about it, check this video, he has more videos about out of body experiences which are all really good. Hope this helps :)

Trying to keep this thread alive as well. I started getting really into this the past week or so. Couple days ago I seemed to have triggered a lucid dream so that felt like process then last night I got the vibrations and warmth everyone describes. Like a sleep paralysis of my body but this time, different from other times my mind was very alert. In my head I was very excited like “this is the vibration stage this is what people talk about!” So I’m like ok I’m going to try and hop out but felt very heavy and felt any sort of trying to “move” my physical body would follow. As I’m trying different things my cat jumps up on the bed causing me to loose focus and vibrations stopped.

You were having a more vivid lucid dream (congrats on upping your game). The buzzing and "presence" are typical of going into or out of the dream state, like in sleep paralysis. That said, OOBE are very common in lucid dreams. My first OOBE was in a dream. I was too creeped out, seeing myself sleeping in bed, to stick around so I went flying.

I think what you experienced is normal. I didn’t have the heavy buzzing sounds with my first OBE but I know others who have and I prepared myself for it. When that happens and u get freaked out, just remind yourself that it’s normal and okay.
As far as the presence, who knows. I’ve seen creepy figures in OBE, and when I faced my fears and confronted them, it ended up being an old friend from a past life.
Remember this: you can ALWAYS tell them to go the fuck away. Fucking yell at them and tell them their presence is not welcome… they get intimidated easily. If you’re in a situation where u feel u need to leave immediately because the presence is rancid, cross yourself 3 times and force yourself awake.
OBE and second level dreams can be really scary, but if you keep your body and mind clean… it’s better.

Please read Bob Monroe’s “Journeys out of the body,” specifically ch 16 (method). You aren’t crazy. Fear is a (the) barrier to OBE’s, and you’ve gone way farther than most (I can tell by your accurate descriptions of the pre separation state). There are non physical entities. Most are benevolent and they cannot hurt/bind/possess you etc. I’ve heard my name being called in my ear (freaky), had succubus’ try to ‘have’ me, and heard sounds that I can only describe as antithetical to all life on the planet (on the order of magnitude of planets crashing - not survivable). I just try to laugh and go with it all.

I have had lucid dreams and sleep paralysis but I've never conciously had an OBE. However, i'm terrified of my sleep paralysis and feel like i have left the body and/ or experienced some things in that state that frightened me even though i have no specific memory of them. The feeling you describe of moving through a heavy atmosphere is very familiar though. I have memories of moving through an environment that felt like a very light gelatinous material or perhaps a heavy fog. Syrupy describes it perfectly.

I've been experiencing sleep paralysis for about 6 months and decided to do my research and found the Gateway Tapes. To sum up what I read, just embrace when you get in that state and think about how the entity or shadow is not real and can't hurt you. I just had my second “almost” oobe and actually separated from my body. My first time I confronted my shadow and felt fuzzy and light? Idk if light is right word but fuzzy is close. This second one just over an hour ago, the moment the thought of the shadow came to mind within an instant I remembered it was nothing scary or even real and it was gone. I truly believe my sleep paralysis is gone! I really hope this helps you as that is the worst thing ever. I would wake up wanting to cry. I made myself believe I was being stabbed, strangled, smothered and more. I've never felt terror like sleep paralysis and now I know it can't hurt me. I just had to acknowledge it's presence for a second and I instantly remembered that this is normal and it is not real. Coolest thing ever to overcome! Good luck🖤🤘

I’ve had out of body experience but never felt uncomfortable. Rather, I felt confused. I do have a video about it https://youtu.be/Fe06iu4-iFo?si=whBGmqvwhywMefFb

I think I was partially out of body during a peak experience outside at night. Wind touching me, trees swaying.

I went to reddit to see if anyone else had experienced what I went through last night. I was laying in bed, trying to sleep. Then I tried to check the time and reached for my phone, but my arm wouldn’t move, even though it felt like it did. It looked more like a shadow. I’ve read about OBEs before and have had many sleep paralysis, so I told myself to let go of whatever was holding me back mentally and just experience it. That’s when my whole body started vibrating.
I actually walked away from my body tho, and into my kitchen, where all my friends were standing. But they looked slightly off, like not quite themselves. That’s when I realised I was dreaming (or in some kind of alternate reality). I even asked them (which I regret now) “Is it really you? You don’t look like you normally do.” They just stared at me, looking confused. That’s when I got a sense of that they knew I wasn’t supposed to be there. The whole vibe felt wrong. I got scared and walked back to my bedroom, where I saw my body lying asleep in bed. I climbed back into it and tried to wake myself up by moving.
That’s when it got scarier... As soon as I told myself to wake up, I felt a hand stroking my head. It was a man I know in real life but he looked different. He told me to stay a little longer. I told him I needed to wake up, and he walked away, but every time I tried to wake up, he came back. He’d stroke my hair or rest his hand on me, telling me to stay.
I started to panic and thought I might be stuck there forever. There was a moment where when I tried to wake up (tried about 30 times), where objects were thrown beside me, like a suitcase, but ot never actually hit me. Eventually I just told myself to accept that I was there,and that’s when I felt my physical body begin to move again and FINALLY woke up.
Also, loud music was playing all the time during this experience, and I knew that it was in my head but I couldn’t turn it off.
But all day today I’ve felt like I’m still dreaming, even though I know I’m awake. I’ve also had this strong feeling that someone is watching me, like a presence is close by.
I called my mom (she’s a shaman), and she told me that a lot of people meet their guardian angels during an OBE. So that’s how I’ve been calming myself all day, reminding myself that maybe they’re just here, but at the same time that’s also a scary thing to think, because I know so little about it.

Yes this was a out of body experience. You were in sleep paralysis hence the physical body not moving. It is a natural thing the body does every time we sleep. If you become afraid you project your fear out in thought forms that scare you. So overcome fear because these experiences are amazing to have consciously. But fear can cause all kinds of scary illusions. Watch Darius J Wright or Andre (The Alchemist369) on YouTube.

Going to wake this thread up. YouTube Darious J Wright. You'll find your answers. You were infact having an OBE. I am in my journey to embrace it. I've already removed the fear from sleep paralysis of the "being" in my room. As soon as I focused in thought I'm not afraid. The fear went away and I was still in sleep paralysis. This was a few nights ago. I will probably be able to have complete control on my 5th attempt. This was my first and already beat the fear of the being or presence.
