Just wanted a kind of poll type discussion.
I myself have left my body on 2 separate occasions, and please don't scoff: once you have experienced this you'll know
it wasn't a dream, Lucid dream (although they are the most confusing), or other state of consciousness

The last one, I was awake early in the morning (I have bad insomnia) and I tried going back to sleep. After encounters with a loud buzzing noise a few times, I entered into a state where
I could control the perspective of "me" in relation to my body.
Right away I was in someones house (neighbor across the street) and since I'm pretty privacy oriented . I felt bad, and like that- zap- back into my room. I was still in this state, and recognized what was happening, and thought "want to go somewhere far away, very fast" . Off through a medium I call
maybe space/? with an intense feeling of high velocity. It was
VERY exhilarating.
Bam, there I am in a cathedral with huge ceilings, partly carved out of rock, but with stone work in arches and a floor of polished stone. The room is partially lit by an intense white light, at the far end, and candles at various places.
There are little "offerings" of fruit or other personal items
at various places, and usually candles are at these places too.
Having heard of beings of light before, I just have a thought about the light in the room with the arch, and just like that I begin moving towards the room, and I'm traveling over the candles trying to avoid them out of habit (you're SO conscious
during this, you have a hard time thinking you're still in a body) and as i'm entering the room I think "do I want to be in this beings presence (if it is indeed a Being)?"
Bam, without the feeling of traveling fast (as when I went there) I'm back in my room/body.

Let me tell you, it was all I could talk about for awhile.
I had gone back to school in my old age (50 at the time) and
I couldn't even resist talking about it to a counselor I had a meeting with the day after.
Any similar stories?
