AC 219: March 16, 2003 (Boston)

The day before I had this experience a friend called to say that he’d had an unusual experience of his own. He’d been lying on his couch in the late afternoon and suddenly had the distinct impression that I was present in the room behind him. He also felt the touch of a hand on his shoulder, which he took to be mine; whereupon he immediately sat up and looked around to see whether I was there.

My friend called me right away, leaving a message that made it sound as if he was considerably shaken. I spoke with him later that evening. I hadn’t been taking a nap at that time, and so I doubted that his visitor had been me out of body. To my knowledge, I hadn’t even been thinking about him, certainly not in the sustained way that might have led to what Seth would have called a projection of consciousness.

This afternoon, however, while I was taking a nap, I had the distinct impression of an invisible hand grasping me by the wrist, as if to pull me out of body. The attempt was not successful.

I used to have these sensations fairly regularly during naps, I believe in the late eighties and early nineties. But I haven’t thought about them for a while; and until this afternoon, they hadn’t recurred. I assume that something of that nature was happening to my friend. Perhaps he represented a nonphysical Guide to himself as me because I’ve been something of a guide to him in real life.
