Strange Sleeping Experiences

Out-of-body experience

How it feels: This is a neuropsychological phenomenon during which a person, half-asleep and half-awake, sees himself from a place outside his body. For mystics and occultists, this confirms the existence of the soul.

Why it happens: The phenomenon is very difficult to study. While scientists know that the illusion of getting out of the body does exist, it is not clear how it works and why it arises. It’s also unclear how to deal with this. Yet some know how to enter this state deliberately. They do so to expand the boundaries of their cognitive capabilities.
