Out of the Body - a first hand account

Last week I had my second recall of an exit experience and I wonder now if this is a very regular occurance that only rarely ends with a memory accessable by the physical mind.  Its certainly a complicated process when you have different streams of conciousness, awareness and memory operating at the same time.  Perhaps it is only when the personality/conciousness normally residing in the physical, transfers awareness to another vehical, that the memory is retained?

What happened on this occacssion when I felt the familiar sensations of sleep paralysis overcomming me is that I just rolled out of my body.  Its almost like an habitual instinct to do this when my body experiences certain sensations I know that its a window of opportunity to slip out.  This habitual feel about it is one clue that leads to the suspicion that this occurance is more frequent than I can remember.

I succesfully got out of the body and neglected to put a good distance between me and my body.  So as I stood there in my room realising I was acquiring astral sight I began to feel a tug towrads my body. 

Going back to the astral sight, I knew it was such because as my vision started to appear I tried to make the sight clearer and instinctivly opened my physical eyes.  I closed them immediately once I had done so realising what I had inadvertanly done in trying to see, by the flash of the viewpoint that my physical body had in it's bed.

The sight cleared up some and as I tried to leave into the next room it was like trying to walk with a bungee rope attached to your back.  As I tried to resist its pull I swung round all over the place, through the window over the yard swinging back through the kitchen wall window into the gloom of the ceiling.  As I passed over the yard on my elastic like fly by I clearly saw the blue bin I had reposition the day before with its big white numbers painted on the top.

As some point I did manage to circumvent the magnectic pull of my body and was above the houses looking down.  I couldn't make out my garden in the gloom.  I can't be sure that it was that dark and suspected that my astral sight at the moment was only sufficienly developed for short distances.  Only time and future adventures will tell.
