I wouldn't disreguard it quite yet.
Most people aren't able to stay concsious during the entire exit, and I must admit out of the dozens of OBE's I've had, Ive only been conscious the entire exit for maybe 3 or 4. I mean the real-time/Astral has a special feel to it thats quite easy to recognise (in my opinion from dreams) although many times if you are not completely conscious after the exit, your dream mind may be throwing images all over the place, even though you really are projecting. Sometimes also, since you are confused the weird distortions are just you changing the energies or even just your perception of a shadow or object or whatever. After you've had several, you may end up realizing that you've had a few OBE's in the past, but because of these problems, you dismissed them as dreams. Once you've had a lot though, you become less and less confused, and it becomes easier to recognise them from dreams. After you've had the consious exit, you will probably never confuse an OBE for a dream again
