Hello Bigmike727: Many years ago, when I was young, I used to think I was having out-of-body experiences. I'd lay in bed at night & feel as though my consciousness was somehow floating up around my head. Way back then, I was heavily into the paranormal. So I found it all really exciting. (I also used to have episodes of sleep paralysis, which was terrifying... especially since I didn't understand what it was about way back then.) Over the years, I've come to the conclusion there is no such thing as the paranormal. What I was experiencing (that I thought were out-of-body experiences) was simply a combination of anxiety plus my own vivid imagination. Thankfully my episodes of sleep paralysis disappeared as well.
