This experience brought up some important things so I thought I'd share. Happened about an hour ago.

I was laying on my side, between waking and dreaming. I had this mental image of a glass which represented time I think and I imagined it starting to freeze. Then I imagined whole reality freezing. This somehow got me to my nonphysical body as I found myself laying on my back and felt my arm floating free. I realized I could get out now so I got up from bed.

I had normal exit blindness but this was familiar to me so I focused on feeling my surroundings instead of seeing them. I was in my home so I had a pretty good sense of what was around me. I headed to my balcony door, opened it and stepped outside. I could see now. Hair was in front of my eyes trying to block my vision but I brushed it aside. I needed to get down to the ground but I knew that if I jumped, it would throw me back to my body. I looked to my right and there was a door there. I went through the door and I was on the ground. It was summer but with a feeling of autumn. A rural area with trees, fields and dirt roads. The sky was strange. It was like a canvas with a cloud cover painted on it. I could see three suns near the horizon behind it. I touched things like grass to keep the place stable. I walked down the road and looked around me. Everything felt and looked so real. I found myself thinking that if I was actually dead and in that place, I couldn't tell the difference between there and physical reality. It was so real and detailed. I looked at some flowers on the side of the road and noticed some bugs flying around. Then I noticed more bugs and there were beginning to be too many of them and I started feeling uncomfortable. I tried to get away from them and a flock of birds started swooping down to eat them. Soon I found myself back in my body. The feeling of how real the place was faded a bit like I was unable to bring back everything I experienced to the physical real.

Few interesting things to note:
1) Whatever astral world I was in, it was real. It was at least as real as our waking reality and actually even more real and detailed.
2) I knew that if I died, it would be alright. I would be perfectly fine. Nothing would really end.
3) Things manifested pretty quickly. The door, bugs (more of them as I focused on them) and the birds.
4) My thoughts were clear and my capacity to think was not diminished in any way during the experience.
5) I had a vague sense of a body but I didn't really have one unless I focused on having it. My thoughts and intent moved me.
6) Experiencing the world outside the physical like that makes my life better, more full and meaningful, less scary.

Beautiful experience... sounds very similar to a lucid dream... loved the part about 3 suns, awesome visual

Reminds me of the Pagan Afterlife, The Summerland.

Very beautiful experience and thank you for sharing. :thumbup:
