Screaming

[Sypyres]

Right now it's 4:42 Central time. Who was screaming about 3 minutes from this time?. You didn't have to wake me up, did you? I was almost there.

Screaming? And how do you know it was from someone on this forum?

[Sypyres]

I had this forum open and I was trying to OOBE. I then heard someone yell next to my ear, "HEY!". Then I was like WTF.
By the way I work in a place where I am by myself most of the time. The only way in is close to my desk and I would know if someone does come in the office. There are no windows or view of the outside world.
Sometimes I hear someone yelling or talking very load before I go to sleep. It's not a faint sound but so clear as if that person is right next to me. I'ved also experience while closing my eyes at night looks like I'm staring directly into a light bulb. It gets so bright that I have to open my eyes. What the hell is that. Can someone please explain? I'm not delusional and I'm not on drugs. I don't even drink. I quit intoxicating my body because it interfered with my progress. I didn't want anything to hinder my so called skills.

LOL! This is really really common for OOBE.

What you describe is actually what Robert Bruce describes as a test.

For some people, a lot actually, when they are trying to get out of body, they 'activate' a sort of built in program, that tests you in a way that will desist you from making it out of body. It's like a trip wire.

From that point you will hear a whole number of things. Common ones is having someone knock on the door, and asking you to go and do something like answer the door. You break trance, go answer the door, but there's no one there - and there never was.

Another is hearing thick heavy chains on the ground. Loud, perhaps even tortured screaming is a common one. Another is a chainsaw starting up in your room - and it will be as loud as real life and right next to you. Another, possibly even scarier one is hearing a train travelling past your head, as loud as it would in real life - though you don't live near a train track.

Also another common one is hearing people talk about you and what you're doing.

'Oh look, Jimmy's playing with his chakras again!' one voice says

' Oh dear, i guess he doesn't know what's going to happen to him when he gets outta body! I sure wouldn't wanna be him when he finds out!' says another voice.

In short - it's a test to deter you from getting out of body. These things aren't real, they're like a computer program that was activated by your act of attempting to get out of body. Many reasons for a test like this. A likely reason is to test your courage - do you really have what it takes to go any further.

Well, if you heed whatever happens - you fail the test.

To pass the test, you ignore what you're hearing, even if a chainsaw starts up in your room, and you continue on. When you get out of body, you pass the test and you go along your merry way. All the sounds stop immediately. If by chance someone actually did knock on your door to go and get the door, an easier way to check is to just hop yourself out of body and go and check the door that way.

Also when you go to sleep, you sort of go into a trance state. When in a trance state, your psychic senses are really sensitive - so you might hear fragmented voices and hearing your name called and stuff. That's common too, i have it - you're not crazy.

i forgot to mention you may feel physical sensations too, like intense tickling or poking and prodding.

Try your best not to react to them.

[Sypyres]

Can't believe you mentioned the chainsaw thing. I know exactly what you are talking about. It's the loudest thing ever next to someone yelling. The "intense tickling or poking and prodding" suks too cause you're so used to responding to it and then you're like damn..got me again.
Well, I'm glad it's no ghost harassing me. We had a presence in an old house I used to live at 2 yrs ago and he would be everywhere. We were nice to him cause he didn't cause any harm or try to scare us. He would just go in the kitchen, stand and leave. then you'd hear him walk around upstairs and would have to tell him to keep it down when watching tv. wish I would of knew him more.
Anyways, I haven't had the knock on the door but my girl does. It's funny at times cause I'll be like what r you yelling at and she's like what the hell r you talking about, that was someone knocking at the door. Come to find out we were both wrong.
Thanks for that great info Jeremy.

Jeremy, that is really interesting. Sometimes when I meditate or I'm drifting off to sleep I hear the bell ring when there is no one there. Sometimes when drifting off to sleep, it seems like the bed shakes to wake me up. What do you think of that? I'm not even trying to OOBE at those times.

It sounds fascinating!

The first section there about the bell ringing - again being in such a relaxed state, it's common to catch things like that. I don't know why :S But is happens.

The shaking of the bed. This i have not experienced myself, though it seems both possible and probable.

My Mother used to have her bed shaken and physically moved. Once it was moved from one side of the room - to the other, covering the door so she couldn't get out. That's more neg related though, less to do with what you're going through i think.

I think what you're experiencing may relate to how when we're in the light stages of sleep, we feel like we've fallen a long way, and we jolt to catch ourselves. It could be an alternative to the falling sensation which is common.
