In this experience I was fully aware that I was out of my body but not really dreaming at all. The house I was in was built in the 1800's and had surely been through many renovations and different purposes, but I knew I must have been backward in time because there were gas lamps on the walls and gas chandeliers. The peeling walls were freshly painted and the ragged institutional carpets were gone and in their place were richly polished hardwood floors. From downstairs came the sounds of music and laughter, the clink of glasses, and from outside the unmistakable clop of horses. Almost instantly i realized I was in some other world, and as hard as I could try I could not stay. I snapped back into my crappy little bed with a start, and never entered that world again.Roger Owenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263373735081837466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-62704190053135228302016-08-31T06:02:31.623-04:002016-08-31T06:02:31.623-04:00My correspondent agrees: "I too am agnostic a...My correspondent agrees: "I too am agnostic and willing to remain so.

They all have the limitation that they are <i>my</i> dreams (or experiences of something different from ordinary consciousness).Moristotlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02211602374384087074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-18948028762714648082016-08-30T17:15:11.786-04:002016-08-30T17:15:11.786-04:00There are those that walk in their sleep.

I'm not sure sleep walking is the right term for what they do. It is much more than a dream.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676316.post-17257635998391998792016-08-30T16:07:27.910-04:002016-08-30T16:07:27.910-04:00Yes, I am serious!
