somersaulting out of body

Date: 3/31/2016

I was lying in bed playing around on my iPad. Somehow I ended up going into trance, and the next thing I knew, I felt myself trying to leave my body. I was very happy at the prospect of another OBE, so I egged myself on. I found myself doing some sort of somersault. And when the somersault was over, I was in a sitting position on carpet floor. I had a feeling I was in the apartment. I tried to stand up to get a good look around, but it was very hard to focus. I was so excited about being out of body that I returned back to my body just as quickly as I left.

AI generated interpretation In your dream, you are lying in bed and engaging in leisurely activities on your iPad. This initial setting suggests a state of relaxation and indulgence. However, as you enter a trance, you feel yourself attempting to leave your physical body. This suggests a desire for transcendence and a wish to explore new realms beyond your physical existence. This desire is reinforced by the fact that you feel happy and excited about the prospect of having an out-of-body experience (OBE). The somersaulting motion in the dream may symbolize a sense of playfulness and freedom. It represents a willingness to take risks and embrace the unknown. The somersault can also be seen as a metaphorical representation of the shift from the physical realm to a more ethereal or spiritual one. It suggests a desire to move beyond the limitations of the physical body and experience a different kind of existence. Finding yourself in a sitting position on a carpeted floor indicates a sense of stability and groundedness. This may suggest that despite your desire for transcendence, you still value a sense of security and familiarity. The feeling of being in your apartment further reinforces this notion, suggesting that you seek comfort and safety even in new and unknown experiences. However, your difficulty in standing up and fully exploring your surroundings highlights a struggle between your desire for exploration and the challenges of maintaining focus and grounding in the new realm. This may reflect a fear of losing touch with reality or a hesitancy to fully embrace the unknown. Returning back to your physical body quickly after experiencing the OBE suggests a sense of hesitation or self-limitation. It implies that while the idea of exploring new realms is appealing, there may be a part of you that feels safer and more comfortable in your physical existence. Overall, this dream reflects your deep desire for exploration, transcendence, and a sense of freedom beyond the boundaries of the physical world. It also reveals a conflict between this desire and a need for stability and familiarity. It may be worth exploring ways to incorporate elements of exploration and self-discovery within your waking life, while also finding a balance that allows you to maintain a sense of security and groundedness.
