After an op I floated above my body and saw myself call out to the nurse (with no sound) who was busy in her office. I was ushered into a tunnel, with a brightly lit room at the end. I didn't recognise anyone and told my usher "this isn't my home" and was immediately returned to my body. The patient beside me called the nurse, curtains were drawn around my bed and I was sedated.
What happened?

Yu can sometimes get that whilst sleeping -its called sleeping paralysis.Its basically when you physically go into the second stage of sleep whilst mentally you are still in the first stage.its very frightening -so I can assume thats what maybe happened to you -you mentally came out the anaesthetic whilst you were still physically zapped.
Couldnt have been pleasant -I would guess they were sedating you again so they could get you back on a level.

I agree with Dris! I too have suffered from sleeping paralysis (usually when I'm stressed). It's as she describes. Very real and very distressing!

Interesting, it is called out of body experience (OBE). I have never experienced this, but books have been read about it and research has been done on this. One small aspect of research was that ayt the end of the tunnel was a bright light and a slim, bearded man clearly Jesus Christ beckoning. This was the experience of people with a religious faith, but the non-religious group did not see any human figure at all. To put the issue straight, I am an atheist so I have no axe to grind. There is a psycho-chemical reason for this, but perhaps some AB could add to this.

Me too........ I suffer from sleep paralysis about once every five years.... usually when Ive been poorly or are stressed. It is extremely frightening, but I know what it is now so can cope with it.

should have added tho...... I dont suffer an out of body experience when I have sleep paralysis, I simply cannot move a muscle of make a noise for about 30 seconds and I also feel as though someone or something sinister is in the room with me either sitting on my bed or pressing down on my body..... its terryfying as you think you have been visisted by a ghost !
