i don't know if it's normal or not but this used to happen to me frequently but stopped around age 18. im 21 now.
it mostly happened when i would look at myself in the mirror.if i would stare long enough and start analyzing my reflection,,,( "this is MY face" MY name is ____ " "this is what I look like" ) i would trip myself out i guess and would disassociate from my reflection and have the out of body like experience. it was like i didn't know who i was or where i was. i didn't know anything and i wasn't me. it was my mind but it wasnt connected to my life....hard to explain. i would even sometimes purposefully stare at myself in the mirror and force this experience to occur. once it happened while eating at a restaurant outside with my uncle and aunt. thats the only time it happened while being with other people and while doing something other than staring blankly at my reflection.
i never thought of it as my soul...always consciousness...but i like the idea of it being my soul better. i like the idea of my soul living on...and this body just being a shell and this life a period of learning.
kind of wish i could experience this again. dont know why it stopped but im a very spiritual person and i feel like its a good thing! maybe not normal though but at least one other person has had the same experience (me!) ;)
Is it normal to have out of body experiences?
