out of body
Floating above yourself
Out of body describes the sensation of perceiving oneself from outside one's physical form.
An out-of-body experience typically involves feeling as though consciousness has separated from the body and can observe it from above or nearby.
Such experiences are reported during near-death events, meditation, trauma, or certain drug states.
The phrase usually modifies experience or related nouns.
