I would spend the afternoon right after school practicing an OOBE, I knew it could take several weeks or months but I had a strange experience after only a week of trying. After lying for about 20 minutes I rolled over to take a nap instead but couldn't sleep so decided to call a friend. I got up to turn my fan off so I could hear better, walked over to my fan, but when I reached to shut it off my hand went right through it! Suddenly I was 'snapped' back onto my bed. I tried to do it again but had a rush of adrenaline that kept me from relaxing.

A few years later I was again trying for about a week and a half to have an OOBE. After giving up on it I I rolled over and started to drift off to sleep but felt my legs rising up out of my body and a loud buzzing noise. Once I realized this I woke up fully and slowly drifted down to my body as the buzzing disappeared. It couldn't have been a dream as my eyes were closed the whole time and there were none of the usual 'images' I get before entering the dream state. I relaxed and again my legs began to float up and the buzzing started. I instinctively thrust my arms out (they were under my pillow) but they passed right through the bed, I could still feel my arms under the pillow also. I felt if I could get my 'head' out of my head I could move more, but I was anchored into that part of my body. Again my legs and feet floated back into my body and I was not able to do it again. I'm not sure why I haven't tried since...
