As a child, it was normal for me to be laying in bed, and rising up to the ceiling. I assume it was just astral projection, but at the time it felt like my whole body. I never turned around to see myself. Like I said, it was just normal. I did it all the time, and I think I did it my entire childhood, until somewhere around 13 years old. Sometimes I would float around the room, like a balloon or something. There was a slight push upward, and I could use my hands and push myself down a bit from the ceiling, and around the room. I was never afraid, and never felt pain during these experiences, but I can still feel the coldness and bumpiness of the ceiling on my nose.
I can also remember laying in bed, awake, looking at the ceiling, and seeing large shapes morphing into other shapes. This would last as long as I would allow it, or until I fell asleep. I would like to hear from others who have experienced these things, and if anyone has any idea what this was.
Thank you in advance.
I shared a basement bedroom with my slightly younger brother. I would lay down, then be out of body and floating. The basement had a second room with an old coal furnace. Very spooky but somehow attractive. Big pipes carried heat throughout the house. Curious, I entered one of the pipes near a heating grate and passed right through a wall. Another time I went through the roof into the open air.
After that experience I was off and running... So to speak.
I told my brother about this and he laughed. He had been doing it before I started.
Have had OBEs as an adult and, believe it or not, once entered another persons body involuntarily.
