Un caso curioso es el de Ed Morell. Este preso de San Quintín, cuyas experiencias inspiraron el libro de Jack London "El vagabundo de las Estrellas", podía evadirse de su confinamiento mediante este tipo de desdoblamientos. Era capaz de salir de su cuerpo, verse a sí mismo en la celda de castigo, atravesar las paredes de hormigón y abandonar la prisión. Nadie sabe a ciencia cierta porque pasa esto; ¿tenemos un alma que deja nuestro cuerpo? ¿simplemente es nuestro cerebro el que se pone a funcionar de un modo desconocido?. Quién sabe.
The following story actually began a few years ago. It was a Sunday late at night, I was something boring but without sleep and I ended up watching "Cuarto Milenio";a spanish tvprogram of mystery and curiosities that presents the great Iker Jimenez. They were talking about astral projection. A person is sleeping and has the feeling that leaves its body, fleet by the room , sees itself sleeping and is able to move to other places and times. This is an astral voyage. A curious case is Ed Morell´s. This prisoner of San Quintin, whose experiences inspired the book of Jack London's "The Star Rover", was able to escape from his confinement that way. He was able to get out of him body, see himself lying in the punishment cell, pass through the walls of concrete and leave this way the prison. Nobody knows why or how it happens; do we have a soul that leaves our body? is it our brain operating in a unknown way?. Who knows.
El caso es que comentando en esos días estos temas en la oficina en la que trabajaba, me hablaron del extraño caso de un tipo canadiense de origen serbio que tenía varias vivencias de este tipo. Tenía una experiencias sensoriales curiosas cuando dormía, experiencias todas ellas con un denominador común: la familia australiana de origen escocés Young de la que en su vida había oído hablar. John Antic se llamaba este viajero. Era un joven recientemente casado, trabajador de una aseguradora, amante del jazz y del blues y del hockey sobre hielo.
Talking about these topics in my office, a mate spoke to me about the strange case of a Canadian- serbian guy that liveseveral experiences of this type. He had curious sensory experiences when he was sleeping, experiences all of them with a common denominator: the Australian Scottish family Young. He never had heard to speak about this family. The traveller was called John Antic an he was a young man recently married, he worked on an insurance company, he likes jazz and blues and ice hockey too.
AC/DC.- Let there Be Rock
AC/DC.- Ride On
En la primera de estas experiencias, se encontró que había viajado a Glasgow en el año 1955, a una casa destartalada, en un barrio bastante pobre. Acababa de nacer un diminuto bebé al que sus padres decidieron poner de nombre Angus. Era el octavo de la familia y ante la grave situación económica que se planteaba, los padres habían decidido seguir el camino de otros muchos escoceses y emigrar a la entonces tierra prometida de Australia. John también observó los problemas en el colegio del muchacho, su pasión por los grandes bluesman, etc. Cuando volvió o despertó, lo que fuera, se encontró cansado y tremendamente sorprendido. Le contó a su mujer lo que el creía que era un sueño.
At the beginning, in the first voyage, he had travelled to Glasgow in 1955, to a ramshackle house, in a very poor neighborhood. A tiny baby was born and the parents chose to name him Angus. It was the eighth children of the family and due to economic problems, the parents had decided to follow the path of other many Scots and emigrate to the promised land of Australia. John also noted the problems that the boy had in the school, his passion for the great bluesman, etc. When he returned, or woke up, whatever, he found tired and extremely surprised. Told his wife what he thought was a dream.
En el siguiente sueño, John se encontró siguiendo al muchacho anterior en la Australia a finales de los 60. Aquel adolescente que apenas sobrepasaba el metro cincuenta, acababa de comprar una guitarra Gibson SG y jugaba a imitar a su ídolo Jimmy Hendrix en su cuarto. Había dejado los estudios y había encontrado un trabajo en una imprenta. Tanto a él como a su hermano Malcolm, les había dado por la música por influencia directa de sus hermanos mayores Alex y George que se dedicaban a ello. Hay que decir que con bastante éxito en el caso de George y su grupo, los Easybets. Malcolm decidió montar un grupo y ante la falta de miembros estables, decidió contar con su hermano pequeño. Angus, que por cierto había aprendido sus primeros acordes con Malcolm, estuvo encantado con la idea.
In the next dream, John was found following that aussie boy in Australia in the late 60s. That teenage that barely exceeded the five-foot, just bought a Gibson SG guitar and played to imitate one of his idol Jimmy Hendrix in him room. He had left his studies and had found a job in a printing press. Both to him and his brother Malcolm loves the music by direct influence of his older brothers Alex and George who were dedicated to this. Quite successfully in the case of George and his group, the Easybets. Malcolm decided to assemble a group and in the absence of better members, he decided to invite his little brother to join with him. Angus, who had learned their first chords with Malcolm, was delighted with the idea.

- Durarán como máximo una semana-, pensaron sus padres dadas sus continuas broncas.
-They will last as maximum a week-, their parents thought because of their continuous fights.

Estuvieron varias semanas pensando el nombre y al final aceptaron la sugerencia de su hermana Margaret de poner el letrero AC/DC que había visto en su máquina de coser, ya que transmitía la idea de potencia y electricidad que Malcolm quería para la formación. El muchacho era tan joven y de comportamiento tan infantil que su hermana le sugirió que podía vestirse de colegial en sus actuaciones. Se llevaba eso de ir disfrazado pero no querían gastar dinero, por lo que aquel traje le vino bien. La nochevieja de 1973 les sorprendió tocando en un local de Sidney. La fortuna les fue algo esquiva hasta que por fin encontraron el salto de calidad definitivo. Se lo dio un vocalista juerguista y algo pendenciero, que había incluso estado en la cárcel, pero que tenía el carisma especial que ellos buscaban y que el anterior cantante no tenía. Era también de origen escocés como ellos. Se llamaba Bon Scott, y en él los Young vieron su alter ego. Estaba predestinado a ser una estrella del rock en toda la magnitud del termino, con todos sus excesos y con el tributo de la muerte prematura.
There were several weeks thinking about the band´s name, and ultimately they agreed to the suggestion of his sister Margaret. She had seen in her sewing machine AC/DC and she thought it could be a good name. Malcolm thought it too, the name has the power and electricity that Malcolm were looking for. As Angus was so young and has a childlike behavior, his sister suggested that she could dress up schoolboy in his performances. They also didn't want to spend money, so that costume came well. The new year's Eve 1973 surprised them playing in a place in Sydney. Fortune was somewhat elusive until they finally found the definitive qualitative leap. It was gave for a vocalist binge and something tough, that had even been in jail, but that had the charisma special that they sought and that the former singer not had. It was also of Scottish origin as them. Bon Scott was him name, and the Young saw his alter ego in him. He was predestined to become a star of the rock in the full extent of the term, with all its excesses and premature death tribute.

AC/DC.- Riff Raff
ACDC.- Touch Too Much
Cuando John volvió de este segundo viaje, ya casi más asustado que sorprendido, se puso a indagar sobre ACDC. Por supuesto que sabía que era un grupo de rock, bastante longevo y bastante exitoso. También había oído Back In Black, y Highway to Hell, pero ahí se acababan los conocimientos sobre esta banda. Es por eso que alucinó cuando vio que todo lo que el había vivido en esos supuestos sueños había ocurrido de verdad. Además, viendo fotos comprobó que las caras que veía eran las verdaderas. Decidió ponerse en manos de especialistas, y tras una peregrinación interminable por incrédulos médicos, que pensaban que simplemente soñaba utilizando información consciente o inconsciente, dio con un neurólogo que decidió estudiar su caso. En una habitación destinada al estudio de trastornos del sueño inició sus experimentos con John:
When John returned from this second voyage, already almost more frightened that surprised, he began to inquire about ACDC. Of course that he knew it was a rock band, quite long lived and quite successful. Also he had heard Back in Black, and Highway to hell, but there finish him knowledge about the band. He was very surprised when he saw that everything he had lived in those voyages or dreams had truly happened. In addition, viewing pictures, he has found that faces that he saw were true. Decided to put in the hands of specialists, and after an endless pilgrimage by incredulous doctors, who thought that just dreamed using information conscious or unconscious, he found a neurologist who decided to study his case. In a room dedicated to the study of sleep disorders began his experiments with John:

Los potentes somníferos hicieron efecto. Los electrodos empezaron a registrar la actividad cerebral de John y comenzó su tercer viaje. A finales del año 1979 a España, país con una recién estrenada democracia, que intentaba modernizar su televisión . Actuación de ACDC en el programa musical español "Aplauso". El público sentado y en silencio, no muy típico de las actuaciones rock, disfrutó al ritmo del mencionado "Highway to Hell" las últimas evoluciones sobre un escenario de Scott.
The powerful sleeping pills made effect. Electrodes began to record brain activity of John and began his third voyage. He went to Spain, 1979, a country with a newly released democracy, trying to upgrade the television. Performance of ACDC in the Spanish musical show "Aplauso". The audience seated and silent, not very typical of rock performances, enjoyed the rhythm of the mentioned "Highway to Hell" the latest developments on a stage of Scott.
El doctor observaba algo inquieto las alteraciones que los monitores indicaban. El área cerebral que regula la función visual estaba disociada de la llamada zona de circunvalación angular que regula la cognición espacial. El pulso estaba alterado y era peligroso continuar, por lo que el doctor decidió hacerle volver. Mientras tanto, la mente de John se encontraba en Londres, junto a un vehículo aparcado en una zona residencial con una persona dentro fallecida. No pudo ver más detalles porque había despertado, pero lo que John había visto fue a Bon Scott muerto en un coche tras aspirar su propio vómito tras una noche de borrachera. Era febrero de 1980 y el grupo había viajado a Londres para grabar nuevas canciones. Malcolm tuvo que trasladar la noticia a los padres de Bon, para que no se enterasen por la prensa. Tras el entierro y una vez meditada la continuidad del grupo, decidieron volver con un nuevo disco y nuevo vocalista. En los corazones de los Young habían nacido las canciones que integrarían "Back in Black", el disco más exitoso de la banda y uno de los grandes hitos en la historia del rock. Sería el segundo disco más vendido de la historia tras Thriller de Michael Jackson.
The doctor was observing something anxious the alterations that the monitors were indicating. The cerebral area that regulates the visual function was dissociated from the called area of angular beltway that regulates the spatial cognition. The pulse was altered and it was dangerous to continue, therefore the doctor decided to make him return. Meanwhile, John's mind was in London, close to a vehicle parked in a residential area with a person inside deceased. It could not see any more details because he had woken up, but what John had seen went to Bon Scott died in a car after inhaling its own vomiting after a night of drunkenness. It was February, 1980 and the group had traveled to London to record new songs. Malcolm had to move the news to the Bon parents, so that they were not finding out for the press. After the burial and as soon as the continuity of the group was pondered, they decided to return with a new disc and new vocalist. In the hearts of Youngs there had been born the songs that there would integrate "Back in Black", the most successful disc of the band and one of the big milestones in the history of the rock. It would be the second most sold record of the history after Michael Jackson´s Thriller.

John, intrigado y conmovido con la historia, le pidió al doctor que le ayudase a profundizar en estas experiencias. Sentía que todo aquello que le pasaba era por alguna razón y debía llegar al final. Lo que pasó a partir de aquí lo veremos la semana que viene.
John, intrigued and moved to the story, asked the doctor to help him dive into these experiences. He felt that everything that was happening was for some reason and he should reach the end. What happened from here we will see the coming week.
