A few years ago, I had this vivid dream....or prenomition...whatever it was: It was a black night..clear..and there I was, floating upwards to the height of the powerline wires...I looked down to the road below me, which was quiet...there were no houses around, but alot of trees...I saw a car that was off to the side of the road, partially in the ditch...crashed or something...I couldn't really tell. But I knew that it was my car.....and here I was....hovering above looking down on it.
It took me a few minutes to realize that I must be dead...and I had the most unique experience ever...my body felt as it normally did. I felt like I had all my 'parts'...you know, the usual arms, legs...stuff like that....but when I held out my arms, there was nothing to see. This was so weird!! And I felt really warm 'inside'...even tho I appearently had no body....but it felt like I did.
Once I realized that I was dead....I panicked...because I thought about my 2 daughters at home...I immediately became saddened because now they would be so sad that their mom was 'gone'....
I wanted to get back to our home so that I could tell them that I would always be there for them even tho I was now gone...I wanted to tell them that I loved them more than anything in the world.
It was like a telepathic 'move'....because when I thought of going to the house...I was suddenly there.
I remember going up the driveway to the house....but I wasn't walking...I was floating along...and then up the stairs. I stopped long enough to peer thru the kitchen window and saw the clock on the microwave...it was 10:30pm.
I tried to turn the door knob on the front door to get in...but I had no substance in my hand to turn it....but then I was suddenly at my daughter's side, sitting on her bed...I was trying to talk to her and tell her all that I wanted to say...but she couldn't hear me..and she didn't even know that I was there. She didn't even know yet that I was dead.
Then I woke up from this dream.
I have remembered it in detail ever since.
I was thinking today....uh oh...bad thing.... .....is this how it feels to be in spirit form??
And if so....then this must be the same....a person who has lost a limb...they say that it always feels like they still have that limb even tho it is gone.
It feels like the body part is still there even tho it's not.....and it seems to be the same way I felt in this dream...like I had my entire body, even tho it was gone.
Does this make any sense??

This looks like a classic OBE ( out of body experience).

Since the Buhlman OBE forum went down, some others have come along in an attempt to replace it.

Hi M-D
Your description is Precisely what people tell me when I send them back in a past life regression to look at how they died in some past life. The difference is that you seem to have done a "progression".

Progression is not unusual. I make my students do a progression before I certify them. (For what it's worth, at last visitation, Los Angeles still exists in the 25th Century.)  How these work is that the circumstances surrounding an event slowly gather together and create the experience on some level, and then they dissipate again. It's like the waves in a basin coming together in the center, making one big peak, and then dissipating back into seemingly random ripples.

You say that you felt "completion". That sounds as if your life path has now been altered, so that what you saw has been adequately handled, and you can go on to a new life path instead. The "ripples" were simply there to make a mental image. Although we usually view life as a straight line, it actually is a branching network, with every decision leading to a new collection of opportunities. An old Voodoo saying is that, "Destiny is fan-shaped."

When we elect a lifestyle, we often look for specific goal, one that provides a lesson that we feel we need. We also tend to build in lots of "escape hatches", so if things are going badly we can have a car wreck, catch a fatal disease, or something of the sort. But, when we reach the path that we intended, we often get a feeling that life has suddenly resolved itself, that we are where we're supposed to be. Then the future option that you saw does not need to be experienced, because you don't need to escape from this life after all.

However, at the same time, ny image of this sort also leaves you warning that you have left the door to the accident slightly open, otherwise you wouldn't have sensed it. So you want to avoid racing at high speed down a road of that kind, lest you have the accident you envisioned, and so on. Drive in good health!

Hello..Talk about Love, Light, Tolerance of others,
Went to the project radiant light forum with the addy you mentioned above Boris, Just read their posting rules..It enough to put you off these guys!!! What hypocrites this new  forum is being run by..Used to love reading posts on the old Buhlman Forum., so I asked an old member of this forum, and he told me these new guys don't allow born again christians, or any other religious groups who question their beliefs,  skeptics and people who want a friendly debate and some viable proof, anybody they deem undesirable...Seems like a closed shop type of cult...Yuk! Ed.

I think you're talking about "Wahabbiism", Boris...
A particularly virulent, fundamentalist, and frankly
DISGUSTING version of Islam (Sunni branch.)
It is the Muslim counterpart to the equally vile (and dangerous) Christian
fundamentalism which is spreading like a fungus (or cancer) throughout American society.
BTW, Wahabbiism only dates to 18th century Arabia... a little short of the days of Mohammed.
Go figure.

B-man

Being in spirit form is wonderful , if you know how to astrial glide  when you sleep. S

interesting about the different religions Dave and that they can be predictable as say, a sliding scale, or a wave in the ocean that can be predicted to hit the shore.
qoute dave:  Hang on for the ride, eh!

I am currently taking astral hang gliding courses:
a picture says a thousand words, as a whisper could break the sound barriar if enough of us all whispered at the same time. lol.

thanks for your support here.

this above is in reference to Mystic Dreamers post of a crash on the highway, a car on it's side and she felt dead and panicked..didn't want to leave the kids. good choice...a very common choice to stay with the kids here and a loving one. it also shows the ability to make choices to live or die and that we are in control of our lives this way by what we think and feel, even if subconsciously expressed in dream state.

thinking about what it means to be a medium lately due to another thread. this thread is reminding me of a time I attempted to bring comfort to another to retrieve her brother who had just crossed. I was asked to do it and still occassionally some here will ask me. since more often than not the folks need their own first hand experience they most frequently pay no attention to the few tidbits I get for them regarding their loved one, so it's not like a rewarding situation to retrieve for others and I lack desire to do so and instead encourage them to read more about it and begin the effort on their own, hoping they will, and knowing someday they will discover their own strength first hand, that it's not that difficult working in these areas. most likely it is a process requiring patience though.
anyway the title of this thread is how it feels to be in spirit form so it's appropriate to discuss retrievals here also. they are interesting ..are they not? I agree with Jean, the idea is get others interested, as something wonderful may happen if we all were to begin gathering ourselves to ourselves in the act of retrievals. simply reaching out to me. from the heart if possible. the heart of the matter. this lady missed her brother in a terrible way as did the parents..all grieved continuously. apparently the bond was stronger than I could imagine. He had gone out with a motorcycle accident and he wasn't that old. it was just too sudden for them. I closed my eyes and tried to find him to get a message back to her. up popped a blonde haired fellow with crinkled up smiling eyes as if he were perpetually good natured, very infectious and boyish. I saw something on the pavement that was slippery and took it to be oil. I must have asked what happened to cause the accident as he began to show me how he flipped through the air, the sensation of it. I didn't see a helmet. a crack on the head seemed to be it. all this imagery didn't matter to me, what mattered was the off hand and excited way he described his death as if he found it to be the ultimate adventure. I wondered what sort of fellow this was? I relayed to my lady he had a death wish which was leading up to this accident, not finding this unusual to myself at all, having had death wishes myself which has something to do with the wish to experience freedom from the constraints of physical life. however my friend was taken aback and I brought no comfort whatever in this announcement. I thought perhaps I should have said nothing, but thats what I got. I did see him visiting the relatives and relayed this also. the deep grief was preventing him to get through..this is very common. she told me later, they do pick up on subtleties that he may be trying to get through, so this is a start.
interestingly enough I dreamed of him and his sister as pups in a car, frolicking in the front seat; the sister pup was wanting to play with the brother pup and they did a little; then, seeing the open window, he jumped right out of it because he was so adventurous and curious and well, perhaps we have over exhuberance in here somewhere. this all led me to conclude his nature is very independent, but he still loves her very much and when he saw the open window, to go out this way, on a machine which generally gives a feeling of freedom when riding it, this was never wrong to him and it wasn't an accident..he actually desired and created it. I never could figure out why he did not see ahead how his family felt about it, but he was trying his best now to break through that he still lived. he also was with an organization of volunteers...consciousness workers we could call them...he went into a training program having to do with prevention of wars. all this did not matter to my friend either. last I heard she was still carrying some sort of guilt or sense of responsibility for what he alone chose to do through his exit point.

btw, Boris, I never told u, but I'm glad you are trying to work with muslim temperaments by bringing your light into their area. I think you are very courageous and maybe you can make a difference there with at least one person here and there. they surely are passionate about their beliefs, aren't they? anyway, yes the internet helps to speed up human evolvement, that's for sure.

love, alysia
