Not so sure.. mind helpin out?

Lately I have been having some really big thoughts about OBE's and related topics. sometimes i just sit and think until I eventually fall asleep. But the other night i had a very strange experience that i hope you people can give me some of your thoughts on.

Well the other day I had been laying there thinking about OBE's and whatnot (this was at about 5:30 in the afternoon) and i got sleepy and decided to roll over and have myself a nap. Even though i was tired sleep would not come easily. I was in and out of sleep, creating this strange "not sure if I'm dreaming" effect. While this was going on I looked out and noticed the room for a minute, then it hit me. I just said to myself "I'm going to project" and my body went into these extreme vibrations. I have felt vibrations of the same sort (even though i have never consciously been out of body), but these were way more intense then i have ever felt. It was like a rush of intense energy going straight into my heart. My body shook like i was in an earthquake, I reminded myself to stay calm, it was only natural. The last thing i remember was looking down at my body. I was hovering slightly to the right, but i did not see my astral body. Then i woke up, not very rested but 3 hours later.

Well what I am asking is do you think i should take this as an actual OBE experience or just a really really messed up dream. In the state i was in it was VERY VERY hard to tell what was going on. any feedback would be appreciated

thanks

Congratulations!  Although you are the only one that can truly judge if you had an OBE or not, is certainly sounds like one to me.  Sometimes, especially in the beginning, it is hard to tell during the OBE.

As a test, I once bent my knees while standing up.  I was shaped like an 'L' floating in the air.  Still, I argued with myself as to weather or not that was proof.

As you become more accustomed to the OBE state, you will learn to recognize it easier.  That 'fuzziness' in your thinking is why its important to plan what you want to do before you go OBE.  But then again, just going with the flow can be fun and educational as well.

Leoman: I had almost the same experience about two months ago. I was sleeping and woke up coz the vibrations ... I reminded myself to stay calm ... but it was exactly as you said: earthquake Anyway, I remained calm and after two or three seconds of those heavy vibrations, I heard a "Booom" and start floating at high speed in a total black space. It was like being shoot by a cannon. After that, I thought "I wanna see!" and I found myself in the coast (300 miles from my home). I could recognize the place and it was so f**king real that today I still know it wasn't a dream.
Anyway, I think yours was an OBE and not a dream.
Just one thing: don't get trapped or think that those strong vibrations are needed in order to get out of the body. Remember that you don't even need vibrations. So if you start practicing and you can't reach that level of vibes, don't worry, it really doesn't matter.

Good luck !
