Since as long as I can remember, I've always had the "ability" to be in more than one place at once. Until a few years back I always thought that everyone experienced this because mah older brother said that he has the same "gift", if you will.

I know that I'm a big Daydreamer, but at the same time this is much different than the normal consciousness that most people are in. On command I can "go somewhere else" in a sense. The scariest part of it though is that I don't know where mah mind goes. I know that I'm somewhere else, its just not describable in any way. I know exactly what its like up here *points to noggin* but its impossible and unfathomable to pick words to describe what it's like.

I always used to use that talent when I was somewhere I didn't want to be, or if I was being hit by mah dad for punishment. It was like mah state of consciousness in this existence went blank and I didn't feel a thing. I can jump into this state whenever I feel like it and snap out of it whenever I want to "come back". It makes me wonder if we are ever "fully here". If our brains tell us to exist in this erm, dimension- when we really have capabilities of exploring other places that we do not know about due to lack of being informed about the limits of our brain's capabilities and overall consciousness.

Where does mah brain go? Something similar to this condition is when I used to daydream myself into another place. I would daydream so vividly in math class during 3rd grade, I remember actually BEING somewhere else and interacting with the different environment I was seeing myself in, and everything else in the normal world was blacked out. Like I was really somewhere else.

I don't want to go too far astray from topic, but throughout mah life I've also had several incidents when I had OBEs [out of body experiences] like once when I was on a walk in the neighborhood far after dark, and I spooked myself out because one minute I was strolling along, the next I was SEEING myself do it, but I wasn't in mah body!

Anybody ever experienced anything along the lines of ANY of this? Or have any idea where it is that I go when I'm in "two places at once"?

This is taken from "Mysteries of mind Space and Time" vol.21 pg.2490.
In psychiatric literature there are numerous examples of normal people who have for a period of time experienced hallucinations that they knew to be illusory yet that behaved as if they were real. The viewer walking round them saw their backs, they blocked out the light and objects, were reflected in mirrors and appeared in double images when the side of the observer's eyeball was pressed, as real objects do. Having no objective reality, however, ther was no way in which light could travel from them and affect the eye so as to register an image in the brain.
Yet in such cases the image is there- for at least one person. In the case of realized, waking hallucinations this must mean that, instead of light travelling from a real object, registering on and being interpreted by the viewer's brain, the brain itself must create an image and in some way 'project' it to the spot where it is seen. Similar processes must occur in hallucinations affecting the other senses, such as in auditory hallucinations.
A subject experiences hallucinations may feel that he or she is going crazy, seek psychiatric help and eventually, if lcky, be cured. There are however, many types of hallucinations- waking, sleeping, trance, hypnotic and semi-waking-sleeping- which seem so real that the subject cannot believe that they do not really exist.

I really don't think you can be in two places at once, maybe you are having very vivid hallucinations that affect all of your senses to the point that you could see the vision as if you are really there- hear the sounds as if you were there-feel, taste and smell as if everything was real.

I think this is an intresting subject. Here 's a link.

Post some more stories about this subject.

Go straight to the media and become a star.

Wow, that just sounds like a serious form of meditation to me! Sometimes when I have to go somewhere that I don't want to, like the doctor, and I have to get my blood taken, I just think of place that I want to be, and I go there. I don't physically go there, but I make myself believe I do. Many cultures practice meditation and many experience similar things. Your mind is very powerful, it can make you believe you can do anything.

Exactly! And thats CooL that you can make yourself go to the Bahamas when you're really at the Dr.s office. Don't be afraid.

Thanks for your comment! Its good to know that there are other people like me out there... We are special. HaHa

Okay, I skipped over the last part, and I just wanted to let you know I had one of those too! (OBE) I remember I was in 5th grade, and I was playing out on the soccer field. There was a bunch of kids, and I remember running and then all of a sudden I saw myself. I was in the sky lookind down at my body that had stopped and was looking to the left. Then after that i don't remember a thing! I told m mom about it and she just rolled her eyes. It was strange.

How do I explain it? Imagination. That seems to be the most likely explanation to me...

I don't know if you were refering to your father abusing you, or just punishing you so I don't want to jump to conclusions. But sometimes children develope coping skills to get through tramatic experiences. Sometimes the child will continue using the learned coping skill into adulthood. I may not be correct, it's just a guess

Dissociative disorder. On the low side of the spectrum it sounds like. The fact that you said you used it when being somewhere you felt fear or pain clinched my opinion that this is what it is. Be careful, and always make sure you come back.

DO AN EXPERIMENT!!

Get someone to write something on paper and hide it out of view and then go out of your body and read it then tell them what they wrote on it!!

If you can do this repeatedly, you will be f***ing amazing and you will totally change EVERYONES perspective of reality... that is if you can do it... and that is if it can be validated under controlled settings.

Some people can split their consciousness so the are in two places at once. but it could be an OOBE, or any of the other possible causes listed previously in this thread, unless we get more information then we probably can't tell. But I don't know you personally so I can't judge.

hehe sounds alot like Astral Projection to me

Exellent point, man. Try to have someone help you either hone or expose the nature of your skill!

On a similiar subject, has anyone seen the movie "Mystery Men"? Remember Invisible Boy? hahaha.. *ahem sorry. no pun intended....
...
HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahaha hahahah HAHAH hmmhmmmhahahahHAHAHAHA!!!

I believe people have psychic abilities, truley. I believe that people can stare at a person in such a way as to let them know they are being watched. Like a late night flick: "I felt someone watching me."
I also believe that some things are inherently born into people... like empathy and mild hypnosis-related talents.... But OBE's are a different story in my opinion.

But don't just show us, now. SHOW YOURSELF! Have an unbiast professional test you through flash card exercises or something. Cool topic! Write more....

DRUGS

your looking for an answer thats already in your question.


DAYDREAMING!

memories/imagination/ thought all play a huge roll in what you have been experiencing all this time. you should use this to your advantage. write a book
