This whole general phenomena(sp?) seems 1) natural, 2) common (me
too), and 3) to be generally misinterpreted by some as an _out of
body_ experience. If you changed the subject to _out of body
experiences_ I think you'd get a lot more responses, but the only
net conclusions would be that a) it's a pretty common experience,
and b) it probably represents an altered state of consciousness.

I believe in absolute freedom of the press.
I believe that freedom of the press is the only protection we have
	from the abuses of power of the church, 
	from the abuses of power of the state,
	from the abuses of power of the corporate body, and 
	from the abuses of power of the press itself.
Those persons who advocate censorship offend my religion.
