It's been 21 hours since you've posted this. I'm surprised no one's touched it yet, but perhaps this is meant to be.

First of all, CONGRATS! You've just accomplished what many people spend years trying to learn: how to have an out of body experience. These are also called OBEs.

Something similar to this happened to me a years ago when I was sleeping on a couch, except I didn't have the lucky fortune of leaving my body. I did however, experience the LOUD buzzing noise and the feeling of energy. When I tried to speak, I felt my lips move, but at the same time I felt my body's lips remain STILL. It was a very odd sensation, but that experience goes to show that humans have an energy body and a physical one. After this experience, I did extensive research on this phenomena over a period of years, and learned much more than can be summarized in one post.

To be honest, there is a HUGE amount of info about this subject, and much of it is verified by scientific study using MRI, etc. The brain reacts to this body separation in interesting ways. To make a long story short, the sound that you heard was something like a dissonance between energies. Once you push through that, you can separate from your physical body and see the world without physical eyes. (I have managed to do this. Fun!) Many people are afraid that if they leave their body, something else might try to take it over, but the body has natural defenses against that and that isn't an issue, plus your Guardians are overseeing your life, as well. Once you get over this, you can begin learning how to travel the astral planes, which is actually easier than walking around since everything works at the speed of thought. To return to your body, hold that idea in your mind and BAM. You'll probably wake up at this point.

The more you research this, the more you'll see that Free Will is actually a law of physics.

One of the more exceptional examples of someone who learned to do this at will was Robert Monroe, who wrote 3 books about his experiences in the astral plane. Look him up. I recommend his 2nd book "Far Journeys", and it's probably at your local library.

I realize all this may come as a shock, but you've taken your a step into a larger world. Now its up to you to do the research and decide for yourself what do to about it. Have fun, and let me know if you have any other questions.

Also, Steve and Erin have both said they've one their share of astral travel, Erin moreso. I'd love to hear from them, or anyone else who has successfully had an OBE.
