Last night, when i was sleep i can remember very good that i was floating and i could see myself asleep; but i saw this dark figure standing right beside my bed and it looked like it was choking me, then the next thing i remember i awoke breathing heavily. So after i woke up i told my mother about this and she said that death came to get me; so i just want to know know what other people think happen a nightmare or a outer body experience; because i'm scared to go to sleep tonight

Well it's most likely you were having a nightmare. As for an OBE, I don't think so. If you were having an OBE, that means you were astral projecting. It's said that there are mischievious entities in the astral world, though I don't see what they would have against you. Also, don't worry, I've read all about astral projection, and I've read that entities in the astral world cannot harm you in any way.

I personally believe and think that you where just astroprojecting and you only got as far as your room and the thing you saw was you or your guide

Thanks, i really hope i was just having a nightmare because it's been bugging me all day since my mom said it was death

Well if i was astral projecting; i don't want it to happen again because it scared me

I wouldn't worry too much. Theres probably heaps of people on this forum that would love to have an OBE, if thats what it was, but i don't think Death is coming to get you.
Hope this helps.

Make sure you don't eat cheese before you go to bed, It can cause nightmares apparently. I have nightmares all the time to the point i get freaked out if the dream was non-gorey/non-monster filled/non-shocking (tho i'm used to them and dont do the shocked thing). Second of all your mum's just winding you up by the sounds of things. Goodluck and sweet dreams

Good grief you're mum sounds a bit on the mean side! Does she tell you that the boogey man is in your closet too?? Goodness! It was most likely just a bad dream. Don't be afraid to go to sleep.

Read this FAQ on lucid dreams it'll help you learn how to control your dreams better:

No More Boogeymen

Also when your body is in a very relaxed state it is completely normal to feel strange sensations such as spinning or floating. They are quite pleasant actually so don't be afraid, enjoy the sensations!

Reminds me of shadow people, but could have been an astral projection, a nightmare, who knows; just sounds like a frightening experience.
