This particular experience was not like my usual
in that I was not fully aware of my out of body status until later on. What I am able to say is that this ‘death
transition’ feeling I have felt a few times before, and am wondering if these
are just simulations for me to experience, learning the ability to ‘let go’
when I realize fighting is futile, or could they really be past live
experiences with passing over that I have already been through? (Here’s a link to another similar death
transition experience on my blog: http://karen659.blogspot.com/2009/01/96-death-transition-and-full-power-obe.html)
I was driving my car down a very familiar back
road, one I have traveled many times. It
was raining, and I became aware I was having feelings of ‘foreboding’ and
danger, and wondered why it was happening.
As I drove down a very steep part of the road, I could see further down
at the bottom of the hill that water had flooded over the roadway.
Initially I thought I might want to pick up some
speed to get through it, however, a car coming from the other direction started
passing through the water. I was shocked
to see the car start spinning around, pushed off the road by the high
waters.
I immediately put my car in reverse and backed up
this steep hill quickly. Thinking maybe
I should stop and help this other driver, I glanced back through the front of
my windshield to see that his car was nearly capsized, but thankfully I could
see that he was able to safely exit through his window and climb onto dry
ground. I knew he had had a very close
call with his situation.
As I backed up this hill, near the top I
remembered there was a crossroad and wondered which way would be best to drive
for an alternative route. Pulling into a
grassy area by the crossroad, I could see my choice was either to the right or
left as I somehow knew I could not have gone back the way I came.
I could see water cascading across the crossroads,
running from the right to the left. I
figured I’d better drive to the right, where the water was coming from, instead
of taking a chance that the water was pooling down the road to the left.
As I started to pull out, I had to stop quickly
because a large multi-passenger SUV was pulling out from that direction. I was shocked to see it looked as though it
had been in a terrible crash, with pieces missing, and obvious injury to the
people inside. I worried that maybe I
should stop to help them too, but then figured since they were able to drive
the vehicle, I guess they would be ok.
I turned quickly into the road leading to the
right, and again was shocked to see that it appeared to be a ‘dead end’ (no pun
intended). Immediately I saw what looked
like an accident scene, and too late realized there were electric wires down
and across the road!!
I had driven directly into the path of the downed
wires, as it was raining and everything from there on out happened at
once. I KNEW I was about to be
electrocuted, I could see the wires, hear the crackle and pop, and felt the tingly
vibration of something happening. I knew
I was going to pass over, and was not afraid at all, and my only concern was
that it was to be painless. I was
thrilled when I realized all I felt was this slight tingle or vibration.
Wondering what was going to happen next, I
remember thinking I’ll have to do a reality check now, because I was curious
what sort of reality I was moving into!
Immediately, I was fully awake in my bed, feeling the soft gentle
sensations of settling back into my body.
After recording this experience, I went back to
sleep and now found myself driving a car again, a common theme for me so I more
easily become ‘aware’ when this happens within a dream.
I got the signal that I might be able to move out
of body and so tried to roll out of the car.
I found it difficult to separate, and had a few seconds of thinking
maybe I AM really driving and shouldn’t be throwing myself out of the car!! Lol
However, this indecision as to whether I’m really
driving or not is also another signal I use to know I’m ready to exit, as when
I’m driving for real in the physical I absolutely have no doubt I am
driving. Therefore, ANY indecision as to
whether it’s ‘real’ or not, means it’s not!
This time I threw myself backward, and immediately
found myself out and flying! I was thrilled! It’s been a long time since I had
this freedom of flight, and thoroughly enjoyed my swooping and flips! Realizing I had to have a destination, I
remember asking to ‘take me where I need to learn’, and suddenly I found myself
just outside a large house.
I recognized it was the house of someone from ‘a
long time ago’, yet not anyone I can recall in this physical life. I also knew it was a woman whom I had had a ‘falling
out’ with, and we had been estranged as friends for a long time. I felt I was there to try to make amends.
Knocking at the door, I was surprised to have it
answered by this woman’s mother. She was
friendly and polite, and I was relieved to be asked to enter. At this time, all I wanted to do was to go to
her back yard to a particular tree and get a ‘seed pod’ that grew there. I wanted this keepsake as a momento of our
friendship from a long time ago.
As I walked through the house, I came face to face
with the woman whom I was estranged from.
She was hesitating and not sure of what to say. I told her that her mom
let me in and that all I wanted was this ‘pod’ from the backyard tree.
I could sense she was nervous but yet resistant to
this idea. I did not want to upset her
more, and so told her that if she really didn’t want me to go to the backyard,
that all she had to do was say, “I’d really rather you didn’t”…and so that’s
exactly what she said to me. She went on
to explain other reasons why it wouldn’t be a good idea, but I had already
decided to withdraw back to the front door to exit.
At the front door, I heard her mom talking to me
as I unlocked the double front door (actually two doors together, opening one at a time.) She mentioned that this same tree was growing
in the front yard and peering out the window, I could see the pods I wanted
were growing there as well, so those would be the ones I’d take.
As I exited, the scene changed to a narrowed dark
corridor descending down, and as I traveled down, I can only remember that I
met two other people, one of whom was a ‘weak’ woman in a very small toy car(?) I know I discussed something but upon full
wakefulness immediately afterward, I had no other recollection of what happened
in that corridor.

Karen, I enjoy reading your posts.
In the dream you describe, maybe your harrowing experience driving the car has some symbolic connection to the illness and hospitalization you talked about in May.
It sounds like you maneuvered through the difficulties successfully.
I'm just a novice OBE tripper and lucid dreamer. I recently read the
book "Lucid Dreaming: Gateway To The Inner Self" by Robert Waggoner.
Great Book! He talks a lot about conversing with dream figures and
symbols and directing attention to
the deeper awareness behind dreaming.
Best Wishes
