yes Freebird. my unborn twins were pranksters even before they were born, lol! used to pull on my arms and legs while I shrieked in terror, when I asked who they were they just laughed merrily.
this was 7 years before I provided a tunnel for them to surf into physical life on. it wasn't long before I realized I was connected to them somehow, these little buggers in spirit. they were just having fun with me. you too may have a close affiliation with this spirit who comes to you. they do so want to be recognized. it's so easy to forget our ties to others. we need to start remembering. love, alysia

Alysia:  Interesting experience you describe.  My mother had a miscarriage when I was 13.  I'm an only child and was looking forward to having a sibling.  Ever since then, I felt as though I had a sister in spirit (for some reason I just felt it was a girl) and I have sometimes perceived a subtle, comforting presence in my life which could be her.  I have talked to her in my imagination.  I don't know if any of it is real, but I am open to the possibility.  Perhaps it was she who tried to pull me out of body, or it could have been some other spiritual being.  Or there's always the possibility of a hallucination, I suppose.

Mike:  I did not have a sense that the force was malicious.  I think the reason I'm afraid to go OBE is because I'm afraid I might not be able to get back into my body and then I would die.  I guess that's just a fear I will have to overcome if I wish to go completely out of body.

I'm the type of person who tends to be too intellectual, self-controlled, and desiring to always be in control of all situations.  I'm a very determined and strong willed person.  I tend to be like a proud wild stallion that has to be "broken" by the horse trainer.  This being the case, the things of the spirit are obviously a struggle for me, but I recognize them as supremely important -- as are most things that are difficult and frightening.  I suspect some people up there who know me in the spirit world get a good laugh watching me thrash and resist and fight to retain control and to understand everything in my mind and avoid surrender to the unknown, even as I acknowledge intellectually that self-surrender is the only way to progress.  That's why I choose the nickname "freebird."  It's symbolic of the carefree spirit I admire in others and wish to more fully develop in myself, which I hope God will graciously enable me to become in due time.

Hello Freebird~
I had a very simillar experience.  It was about a year or so, ago. I had this dream, in the dream, I was lying in bed and there was a very nice lady sitting on the edge of the bed, gently rubbing my back, kind of like what  a mother might do to calm, and relax  her child to go to sleep.  While this was happening,  I felt someone else's hands reach under my arms, and kind of grab hold of me and they started to pull me up out of bed, in the dream, there was a window above my bed they were trying to pull me through, in my 'real' bedroom my bed is against a wall. As soon as I started feeling myself go through the window, I freaked out, and said, "someones trying to steal my soul!!!"  At that instant I woke up. My heart was in my throat. Then I realized it wasn't a bad dream........someone really wanted to take me somewhere and show me something, I had been asking for some new experiences, and knowledge, and looking back they really tried hard to comfort me, and do it gently, but I soppose I wasn't quite ready for it yet.  Since then nothing like that has happened, that I can recall. 
By the way, thanks for posting this story, I now feel a bit better about what I had experienced!
