When i was very young (About 4) i would quite often 'dream' i was floating up into the ceiling....i would then be 'flying' down the stairs really fast (I could actually feel my stomach drop)....i'd then 'fly' back upstairs, come out through the ceiling again and then literally 'drop' down into my bed with a thud...i'd wake up just as i fell back down...and the the bed would be wobbling as if i had literally been dropped onto it....!!
Has anyone else experienced this...sounds mad but i'm convinced i was actually dropping back into my body as it was so real!!!
I only had it very young and this adds to the theory that when you're young you are spiritually 'open' as society has not yet 'taught' you that things like that 'don't happen'.
Would love to know if anyone else has had this before?
:-)

This was certainly OBE (Out of body Experience) at a low level.
Many have it from childhood, due to last birth's purification
However, with proper yoga and meditation techniques, you can develop this ...and enjoy the astral worlds..their sounds and visions...
OBE also helps in spiritual upliftment, if done properly
Vipasana practices certainly helps in OBE, and if continue longer...it can lead to wilful OBE

Heh... I think that these experiences can be attributed to a healthy child's imagination. As a child, all emotions and experiences are much more intense than they are as an adult. This is not only society's teachings at work but also the simple fact that you experience everything much more intensely because it's the first time for you to experience it. Lack of simmilar experiences or a sufficient amount of experiences for that matter, make all things, and especially dreams, seem much more vivid and real.
I remember a dream I had as a child once where I dreamt I found the greatest treasure in the world: endless seas of marbles. :)
And what's more, I felt like it was so real that I didn't even want to believe it wasn't real for quite some time after I woke up.
Heh... more recently I had a very bad mushroom trip, in which the whole world kinda faded away around me, but that's another story. :P

~~~Hayley,,,, When i was 5yo I was in a major traffic accident and literally thrown through the windshield. Although I was a bloody mess with a smashed and ripped open nose and forehead, it was considered a "miracle" that I survived the crash and had such minor injuries. While laying on the crumpled hood of a big cadillac in a pile of broken glass,,, I had a female Spirit Guide appear to reassure me that I would be OK and that I would have my body back after the Dr's fixed it. She was with me all the way to the O.R. when she reassured me that when I woke up everything would return to normal. As the anasthesia began to take effect, I slowly drifted back into my body as I drifted into sleep. Today there is much literature to choose from. Read up,,,

Yes, it's quite common. Often people dream that they are falling and wake up just before they hit the bottom. It has been reported that the heart actually misses a beat. Whether it is prior to or caused by the dream is open to debate. I as a young boy used to dream that I was falling and would wake up with a heart stopping jolt. They say, if you don't wake up before you hit the bottom you die, but that's an old wife's tale, I think.

I have a friend who recently told me a story very similar to yours.
She said she used to leave her bed quite often and go 'traveling'.
She would go all kinds of places and see things, but she was never 'involved' in what was going on. She would drop down onto her bed so hard that she actually broke the bed slats once.
Then, one night, she went traveling and found herself at a small lake, where 3 boys were swimming. One of the boys started to struggle and began to drown. The other boys, frightened, swam back to shore. She entered the water and came up UNDER him,
looking up into his face, as he was face down in the water. She told me he was an African American boy with bright GREEN eyes. She pushed him up and moved him to shore, all while she was under the water.
The next day, on the news, she saw a story about what she had experienced the night before. They showed the parents and a picture of the little boy, who had bright green eyes.
She told me she hasn't been traveling since that night, but she feels that maybe that was her mission in life, to save that little boy.
She's never tried to contact him, and this was many years ago, so he would be about grown now. She said that she thinks that if it's meant to be, he'll find her someday.
I believe her.

Yes, this has happened to me a few times throughout my life, usually between sleeping and waking states. It happened to my Mom when she was pregnant with me in Yoga class, she floated to the top of the gymnasium and could see her body and the rest of the class. She freaked a little and went back into her body.
I don't think it has to do with "belief", though. And the wobbling bed, I don't know about that. Cool though, huh?

not only when I was young. Even now that I have grown too old, I dream of myself flying and being pulled by the air. if I dream of this thing, I could really feel that I fly and there's a wind beneath my wings :).
In the morning when I wake up, I still have the feeling that "Hey, I feel I flew last night."

Of course its real.
Everything little children imagine is real. Monsters under the stairs, ghosts in the shadows...
I hope you're still a child because you've got some growing up to do. Human fallibility is an amazing thing.

Yes i too used to have this all the time as a child, and still remember the amazing feeling in my stomach.I, believe our spirit leaves the body while we are sleeping, hence people often get that feeling of falling, as they wake up.

As you dream sometimes you body moves. I don't know the name for this. If you dream you are swimming sometimes you will actually hold your breath.
I know you've had the dream where you were peeing before....
I once had a dream I was in a room full of boxes and I was trying to kick them over..... I kicked a hole in my bedroom wall.
