An out-of-body experience

An out-of-body experience also called OOBE or OBE is an experience in which a person has a feeling of leaving his body while floating and observing himself and the world from the out-side but with out feeling objects and unable to talk to other humans ,but fully aware of what is happening to him and able to travel to everyplace in the galaxy ,but the further the place the harder it is and the less likely he will come back and if he stays too long he might not be able to come back ,as his own body will reject him (you can imagine it as going into a coma with out waking from it).
Studies have showed that about 10 % of America experiences an out-of-body experience once in there lifetime. It can occur to anyone and at any situations. Majority of the people experience an out-of-body experience while they are sleeping, resting or dreaming. Others may experience it when ill or while under the influence of a drug or during a major surgery.
A person may also experience it when he is near death. Such cases are referred as Near Death Experiences. Recent surveys have reported some cases in which motorcycle riders experienced an out-of-body experience. They found themselves floating over the motorcycle observing their own body and still continued to ride but with out changing the direction.
Most out-of-body experiences don't occur spontaneously. Some people get them induced as desired by using various techniques. They even make a note of the things they go through while experiencing an out-of-body experience. But the experiences of the people who have undergone induced out-of-body experience are different from those who have undergone spontaneous OBE,Majority of the people who undergo willingly OBE feel that they are still in a body but one which can not be controlled according to their wish. But most of the people undergoing spontaneous OBE find themselves disembodied. That is they feel that they are outside their body and looking at their own body from the outside world (some people say it is due to the shock).
Researches are still going on to find out why some people experience an OBE,Some of the researchers suggest that an OBE is nothing but a simple illusion, which is brought about by an abnormally functioning brain (confused). While others suggest that it accrues by a specific area of the brain.Some people consider it a psychological phenomenon. They say that the people may be creating or building up the experiences from the previously learned things or stored memories. For instance a person may have watched a medical program and when he is hospitalized he may experience the same things that he had watched.
Each person experiencing an OBE has a different point of view. Some people say that they feel light and peaceful while other say that they get afraid as they think that they are dying and will never return to their body.
