I read on your site the story entitled "Traveling Outside the Car." I had a very similar experience driving to work one morning a few years ago.

I was on Rte 95 South, just leaving the Baltimore city limits on my
way to the office in Columbia, Maryland. I suddenly realized I was about 10 or 15 feet above the car, though still in control. I could see my own car below me, and the other traffic around it. Of course, I immediately returned to my normal place behind the wheel, somewhat shaken by the experience.

Unlike the contributor of the original article, I was awake and driving
the car at the time. I was about half-way into a 45 minute commute. I
usually spend my commute time thinking about work or whatever else comes to mind, rather than listening to the radio.

On this occasion, I was enjoying a beautiful, sunny morning - it was around 7:45 a.m. I was driving more or less "on auto-pilot," since I made the same trip every morning, so I was very relaxed. Other than that, I have no idea why this happened.

Having read a lot about out-of-body experiences, I have always wanted to be able to do this again, preferably from my arm chair at home, but have never been able to.
