I too have had an OOBE and floated above my body, watching the crash team trying to revive me. I had an eclamptic fit as the result of toxaemia of pregnancy and my heart stopped beating. I suddenly felt a sharp tug and went back inside my body. When Iwoke up I told the astonished consultant that I had seen what they were doing - he was very sceptical until I told him the precise swear words he used, at the point where I left my body.I also saw that they had put my new born baby the wrong way round in the cot, in their haste to attend to me.The nurse confirmed this and almost fainted when I told her that another lady, who was not in any sort of uniform, had turned my baby the right way round, and tucked a blanket over her.This turned out to be the Lady Almoner who had been summoned to also help. This was not a dream, it was a real experience. I felt very calm and I can honestly say that I am no longer afraid of death. I have heard all the scientific explanations - lack of oxygen etc, but if that is the case, why does EVERYone have the same experience of floating above their body, and the same ability to see and hear what is going on? I mean, why dont some people float under the bed, LOL - why are we all up on the ceiling??? And if it is a purely physical response to lack of oxygen, well, how clever of the body to adopt and develop this, to the point where no-one ever says they were frightened by it. OC

I had a weird experience whilst asleep - possibly a dream, but a strange one! I met my ex when he came to visit his best friend, who was going out with my sister (he's been my BIL for 30 years now). Ex was in the services, posted abroad, but was in UK for his mother's funeral. What I didn't know at the time, was his mum had the same birth date as me, in July and was buried on my mum's birthday, in June. We started seeing each other. The following year we were living together, and on my mum's birthday, I had a 'dream' where I was in a coffin next to ex's mums, and we were having a conversation!! Seems a strange way to have a conversation with the dead! One of the things she told me was to tell her husband to visit the doctor immediately. She said he knew he was ill, and he shouldn't ignore it. I told ex, who spoke to his father. His dad knew he was ill, but couldn't be bothered to do anything. We made him go, and he was diagnosed with bowel cancer. maggie

Hi Everyone Like Yvette I have had a few 'dreams'. In one I was asleep and somebody knocked on my front door. My husband went to answer it and I was stood at the top of the stairs looking over the bannister. When he opened the door my uncle appeared and looked up at me and said 'Jayne, its your dad.' At this point I woke up. Just as I shot up there really was a knock at the front door (2 in the morning). It was my sister telling me that my dad had had an heart attack and we had to get to the hospital quick. Jayne
