OBE or Dream?

I had an OBE 4 months ago. After thinking about it and asking on (another) forum i came to the conclusion that it was an OBE, not a dream. Today (30 minutes ago to be exact) I had another experience I'd like to share and find out what it was. I've had some experience before that i quickly concluded was dreaming about an OBE, but i cant do that with this one.

I went to bed yesterday 03:40 after reading some about AP's and LD's and read that the pineal gland stimulates if you lay on your back. I sleep on my sides 9/10 times but i decided to lay on my back tonight. Then i had 3 or 4 normal dreams. And in the end of the last dream, after thinking about reality in the dream  :-o I was kinda surrounded by a TV and said/screamed something like "what is reality?!" and my dream-body got smashing in to the TV like if it was a gateway, now the interesting stuff happens...

I instantly woke up in an OBE stage (i think). I got vibrations that was different from before. Every 2 sec i heard a "rrmm" and felt some kind of vibration at the same time. Every "rrmm" my astral body in my bed started rotating a bit until it was rotated about 90 degrees. My body also felt heavy unlike my first OBE when i was weightless. Then i started the rope technique and after a few seconds i left my body i think. But everything was black. I clearly said to myself "Clarity, now!" and slowly opened my eyes but that was my physical eyes so i closed them. Then i found myself on the floor in the other side of my room, still doing the rope technique, the strange thing was that i was thinking "I hope my mom doesn't go in and see me on the floor" (dreamsign). Then i think i left my body again. I said "Clarity, now!" and opened my eyes but it was my physical eyes again so i decided never to open them.
So the entire experience was without vision except opening my eyes (i think..) twice. Thats pretty much it.

I've had one OBE before as i mentioned and I've gotten to the vibrationstage a few times so i know how it feels/sounds, but this time was a bit different. I confirmed that it was my physical eyes i saw through since what i saw was what my physical eyes would see from their position. After my first OBE i was energized and full of energy but after this one it was just waking up as usual.


Thanks for reading, do you think this was OBE or "just" a dream?

sounds like what we call OBE to me..
well done, I had no sight in my first fully projected OBE and have had a couple of instances where visuals were difficult to attain.. I've also been stuck crawling near my bed a number of times.. I've found if I move far enough away from the bed (physical body) it's easier to stand up!

Good luck.. I believe the OBE or dream question can only be answered by the individual having the experience.. and may be defined differently by different people... so it depends.. but from reading i'd define this as an OBE :wink:

Yes i also heard that you have less control close to your body. Will try to move away next time.
In my first OBE i had one vision while sitting up in my bed, it was a bit less clear then a dream.

Yes i agree but I'm not a professional :) It's like going to the doctor and describe your problem and they tell you what it most likely is.
