Was this an OBE?

[WalkerInTheWoods]

It sounds like you had an OBE to me. My only concern is why you tried to find the presence you felt. Were you actually trying to attack it or were you just being playful? Don't assume that everything you see while out of body is out to get you. Be curious and explore with the intent to learn. It will be much more beneficial.

Congratulations!

I was definitely being playful.  I probably had a big grin on my face [].  I was moreless trying to learn what I could do with it.  I wasn't trying to harm it in anyway if thats what it sounded like.

This was a lucid dream, since it started from a dream , not from the awake state. In the lucid dream there is a mixture of things/entities/situations from the astral plan and from the dream world (you brain/mind). You might start an AP close to the physical world and then this can slightly change and becomes exactly like a dream. There is not much difference between OBE and lucid dream. Therefore, it is not sure if the entities you encounter are astral entites, or just entities (messages) from your dream.

Next time try to stay in the lucid dream/OBE, dont think to come back so quickly, just let go and think positively (no fight!).

Thanks for the replies.

So is it possible to OBE out of a lucid dream?  The only reason I pulled back was because I wanted to remember as much as possible.

I'm going to try and piece together what I barely remember. Man, this was
unreal.  Somehow I remember becoming VERY aware I was dreaming, this was in our family's computer room.  I remembered my friend Eric's presence in the room at one point.

However, for some reason I decided to take full advantage of this opportunity.
I started flying around the room and could feel the presence of something in the
room with me.  I was morphing my hands around it and trying to fight it, yet
learn how to fight with it.  At one point I started spinning around on an imaginary
pole like Keanu in Matrix Reloaded.  I noticed everything in the room was
a mess, not like it usually is.

Then I headed into my room.  I can't remember how I got into my room next
but I remembered looking at my old soccer lamp light and it was beginning to
melt and had a blue watery texture around it.  Then I became fully aware I was
probably having an OBE and remembered to head back to my body.  I was trying
to visualize my body and recreate certain feelings only my body would know.
For example, hunger.  At one point I actually saw a glimpse of me lying down sleeping.
Freaky!!  Then I heard two distintive pops in both of my ears and became
conscious. Gah. Amazing!!!!!!

So, did I have an obe?  I never thought I could see so vividly in my dreams.
Everything was clear.  I never felt my body leaving but I did feel it coming
back.  And I did actually struggle to get back into my body, not afraid but it did require effort [].

Sorry for the mess, length and typos, I just had to get this out!!
