Hello listeners and welcome back to the English with Neil Learn English podcast.
In this episode I'd like to tell you about something I experienced last year.
It was actually kind of crazy and I haven't really told anyone about this.
But I thought it would be a cool experience to share on this podcast.
So about a year ago, I laid down on my couch to take a nap.
I usually take a nap almost every day.
But on this day...
I remember it was a Saturday.
My wife wasn't home and my kids were probably at the park and I just laid down to take a simple nap.
But what happened next was so weird.
I actually woke up but instead of waking up In my body.
I actually woke up in like a spirit.
It was really weird.
So I opened my eyes and I started to lift myself up and I was actually coming out of my body.
And I stood up and the craziest thing was I turned around and I saw myself sleeping on the couch.
Like I saw my physical body sleeping on the couch and I thought, wow, this is so weird.
And so I started to walk around my living room.
And I was kind of scared because I'm looking at myself on the couch sleep.
But I'm actually walking around in like a spirit, my spirit.
And so I walked around my living room and I was really scared.
I was like, this is kind of scary.
And so it was kind of crazy, but I actually laid back down into myself and I woke up and I was like whoa, what happened?
This is weird.
And I didn't know what it was called.
I didn't know the name for it.
So I went on Google and I kind of typed in what I experienced.
And the first thing that came up was something called and out-of-body experience, and there's an acronym, OBE out-of-body experience And I clicked on images and the exact image of what happened was on Google.
It was a picture of someone sleeping in like a spirit kind of coming out of that person.
And that was exactly what I experienced, and so I was like wow, this is a real thing.
I thought this was kind of I thought I was maybe dreaming, but it was actually a real thing.
It's called an out of body experience.
And so I researched it.
I read a few websites and every website said scientists are unable to explain why this happened.
They think it may be because of stress or maybe some kind of frightening experience that the person had.
But to my knowledge, I was just tired.
I just wanted to take a nap and this out of body experience happened.
And so it was kind of crazy.
And even now, to this day, I always think about you know, when people say that there's a spiritual world or, you know, they say Our spirit is always living, but the body will die someday.
I kind of believe that just because of what happened.
I literally woke up out of my own body.
I was looking at my body.
And then I went back into my body and it was kind of weird.
So if this has ever happened to you, now you can explain it in English.
It's called an out of body experience and it's a real thing.
Go ahead and check it out.
And yeah, maybe have some fun with it.
But let me know.
Have you ever had an out of body experience?
How was it?
Was it fun?
Was it scary?
Let me know.
I'd love to hear from you.

That is it for today's episode.
