Sleep Visit

I left home at a very young age to pursue better living conditions and education. Rarely visiting home, I missed out on many activites I wish I had not. I have felt I have had OOBE many times. The falling, "floating" around my living space, when I know I am actually asleep! I have not really talked to anyone about this, and this is the first time I am going public or talking to anyone about this. Even my closest friend whom is very spirital and religous does not know. Anyway, these OOBE's are very special and I often set my mind to do it when I am lonely. Often I miss my family very much and know I am missing out on the best times. I set my mind to make a visit home just to see how things are doing, or just satisfy my emotions. I close my eyes and feel lifted from my body and out of my apartment. I float towards the city where I grew up. I float, taking the same direction (highways, roads) as if I were driving. I pass traffic, cars, could see people carry about with their lives.

Sometimes I wonder even if they can even see me. But this experience is just a go and back thing, no stop anywhere. I just "fly" the whole way. And when I arrive at my home, I can see what my family is doing. Sometimes there is no one there, and sometimes they are having fun. I have the urge to "land on my feet, and walk right on in", but I can't. There is some force of gravity that keeps me from doing this. As I linger around the house, just looking in, this gets to me emotionally, and I have to return. The trip back is very fast, sometimes taking just seconds. And in no time, I feel myself being pulled back into place. I wake up with a very satisfied feeling. I have no idea what this is, or if anyone has has similar experiences, but, spiritually, it is worth it. I would appreciate any comment on this story or if you have had similiar experiences. Take care. Steve
