Waking up "out of body"

[zenmaster]

There was no reason for the jolt of fear I experienced. It was just a wave that washed over me and brought me out of the experience.

Of course there was a reason for it. It just may not be one that is expected.

Right, what I meant was I didn't perceive anything which would normally frighten me. The fear "came out of nowhere."



Thanks a bunch for your help. The situation makes some sense now, and I can extrapolate some sort of meaning and purpose behind experiencing what I did. I understand everything that happened except for the strange black line-symbols, which I don't know if I'll ever understand.

Your experience is not uncommon, I've had a few very similar. To be honest, the lines are sort of 'creepy' to me. It's almost as if they were intended to be impressed as nonsense, in order to distract and to confuse. I think you will ultimately find some acceptable answer. If it still grabs your attention, that could be a good thing, as you have catalyst provided. You could re-examine what you think you mean by 'symbol', for example and why if anything seems particularly important, emotional reactions, etc.
