Hallo trippyrod12
That pretty much sounds like a full and complete OBE to me!  Maybe your consciousness was not clear and was dreamlike. Yet everything else positively points to an OBE.

Hallo rain
About getting more clarity after getting out of body. Try two things,
First try an affirmation. Mentally recite something like, "Clarity Now!" or "Focus Now!".
Second, move away from the physical body as soon as possible. The physical body exerts a very strong pull on the astral/ethereal body and can prematurely end an OBE.

Sincerely
Grey

Hello gallianoj
Thanx for the reply. You could be right about the building and the hallway inside as being symbols. Usually I take the locations and beings in an OBE at face value (= as objective places and beings outside of my own mind). Yet this OBE was so jumbled and confusing that perhaps some symbolism Did find its way in there.
Flying is usually immensely enjoyable. So Immediately taking to the air when OOB is a good strategy.
The sci-fi movie dream was actually somewhat disappointing. The game was very realistic and its was a downer to find out that it was only a game.

["Return To Familiar Location And Obstacles"]

Greetings everyone. 
Over the past few weeks I have had 2 OBEs. Before I post either of them here I am postings a couple of older OBEs that happened last year. They are ---

"Return To Familiar Location And Obstacles"

Friday, June 3, 2011  (OBE # 110)
   This began when I came to astral awareness in a familiar location. It was a place that I had visited many years ago in a previous OBE (probably as a young boy). It was an open field, bordered by tall trees at the base of a steep hill.
   I was trying to find a way out of the area and suddenly realized which way to go. There were a few people there with me - a couple of men and two or three teenagers. They seemed familiar then but now I do not know who they were. I rose up into the air in flight and slowly floated across the field. The others also got airborne and started to follow me.
   After five to ten minutes of slow, yet steady, flight the location suddenly changed to a long hallway inside a building. Here we had to work to remove various objects including small pieces of furniture and boxes to clear a doorway into a large room. I had to explain to a maintenance worker that we needed to get to a stairway.
   It took ten minutes to clear the entrance into the room and get to the stairway. Then out group went up ten or more floors. We accidentally went up past the right floor and had to go back down a flight of steps.Then we traversed a long room or corridor that was divided in the middle by a commercial machine of some type. Various objects lay on the floor of this room making movement difficult. We were forced to stop and move some of these items out of the way. Before I could any further the experience just ended.
   Notes The time was between 3 AM and 4 AM. Duration was 35 to 50 minutes.  OBE #110 was in a familiar location, which was most likely non-physical. It may have been a BST of this local physical area. There were both familiar and unfamiliar discarnate persons about. Deliberate (passive), Flight, Teleport, Pranayama (before), Affirmations (before), Meditation (before), Rope cargo net (before).

"Highs And Lows Of Flight"

Wednesday, September 28, 2011   (OBE #111)
   This began as a dream. I traveled by car to an unfamiliar medical office building. Not much happened as apparently I was supposed to report to work there yet did not feel like working so soon left. A short time later I was in a large shopping mall. It was at night. Before leaving the parking lot by car I realized that it was a dream. (For the past several months I have been focused on transitioning lucid dreams into OBEs (and APs). This was an excellent opportunity to go out of body.)
   OBE #111 Astral awareness was achieved easily. This was now an AP/OBE. Immediately I took to the air. Flying was quite easy and a great deal of fun. Soon I was performing aerobatic maneuvers above the parking lot. I could skillfully execute loops, barrel rolls, figure eights and other intricate aerobatic turns. A small crowd gathered below to watch.
   My flying show lasted five to ten minutes. Then my concentration began to fade. Suddenly I was flying somewhere in the Squirrel Hill are (of Pittsburgh) over a street. It was now daytime so many vehicles and pedestrians were about. Elation had now turned to dark depression. It felt like I had little or no control over this situation. I was going downhill fast, both literally and figuratively. So I managed to slow down and landed, then wandered about an unfamiliar area. Eventually most vestiges of astral awareness were gone. So this experience transitioned back into a non-lucid dream.
   Dream. Here I watched a sci-fi movie about a sci-fi video game turning into real life. Then I was introduced to a salesman who was going to train another man, a young woman and myself how to market and sell the video game to potential customers, The dream lasted about half an hour and ended during the training session.
   Notes. The OBE took place either during early morning or late morning hours. I was in a (vaguely) familiar location and could see (but did not interact with) unfamiliar people (either physical or discarnate or both). Deliberate (passive), Flight, Teleport, Dream into OBE into Dream, Emotional, Affirmations (before), Pranayama (before), Meditation (before).

Greetings stevetrindall and welcome
Verifiable OBEs are actually rare. Apparently when they Do happen then they often happen for a reason as was the case with your recent experience.
It's good to see another experienced projector join this site.

Greetings Guitarmike and Welcome
Religious and social backgrounds and upbringing Can have an effect on the ability to go out of body. Yet what is much More important is your current state of mind. It will be quite helpful to try to pretty much Forget any religious teachings and start fresh!

Hallo Orbital
That's great!  That' s how OBEs happen sometimes, when you aren't trying and don't expect it to happen.

Grey

Greetings Leigha/beansta.
Nice to see that you've returned. Hope you remain here a long while.

Greetings all
Maybe as big a question is WHY would anyone take the chance just to find out?? 

Grey

Greetings Chaos
Yes oh my, a LOT of strange nonphysical experiences DO happen using mind altering substances. I've been there many times and had some Very Weird experiences too. My problem is that most of those experiences, dream and OBEs mostly, were out of my control. I was there first person. It was a direct experience but rarely did I have any real control over where I went or what I did. Whatever happened just happened and I was mostly just along for the ride. So that's my beef with mind alterants. I am Not a control freak but getting flung around throughout the (nonphysical) cosmos is hardly my idea of a good time!.

Grey

Yes, there is a LOT to be learned here. I have been a member here for about ten years and still learn new things all the time.
btw You might want to read some of the threads in the "Welcome to the Astral FAQ Forum". There is a lot of good info there that will help get you caught up on some of the discussions in these forums.

Sincerely
Grey

Hello and Greetings Willken
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Let's hope that you like it here and stay awhile.

Hallo 4everaspirit
Actually, when you think about it, ANY OBE is an amazing experience even if it seems mundane at the time.
BTW I keep an OBE journal at http://www.astraldynamics.com.au/showthread.php?9392-Greytraveller-s-OBE-Journal

Two OBEs of special interest are "Magickal History Book" on page 3 and "Flying Disk" on page 5.

I usually trust the person who actually had the experience. So if you believe that the voice was a spirit guide then it most probably was. And Actually spirit guides helping people get out of body is much more common than most people realize because it does happen to a Lot of people.

Greetings gallianoj. Welcome to Astral Pulse.
Obviously you are a natural projectors who has had some very dramatic OBEs.
Thanx for the link. I'll post some feedback here after I read the first chapter.

Greetings Choi and welcome.
Dreamviews Is a great site. I only lurk there at present yet plan on becoming a member soon.
You might want to read some of the threads in the "Welcome to the Astral FAQ Forum" as that will help you get up to speed on some of the topics discussed in the forums here.

Hallo Blazewind
Yes I remember you from 'back in the day'! You have been away awhile, methinks. It's good that your back.

Regards 
Grey

Hallo AstralProtectin
Woohoo!, Well done!
The mystery here is who or what was the voice. Either you had an unseen spirit helper (which is much more common than most people realize) or the voice was actually you trying to give yourself encouragement.

Cheers
Grey

Greetings Brad
From the description that you provided it Does Certainly appear that both Were OBEs. In both instances you were in a body asleep, mind awake state (which is the best conscious state in which to go out of body). And then in both experiences you had a spontaneous OBE where your consciousness (spirit, astral body, soul, insert whatever terms desired) fully separated from your physical body.
These are two examples of what commonly happens   -- when a person tries to deliberately induce an OBE and then stops trying for a period of time an OBE will occur spontaneously. Perhaps the next time you will be able to exercise more control and get outside.

Grey

Greetings ArmyOfOne
I find it quite amusing how validations in OBEs usually happen when a person is Not looking for it. As if almost by accident a person OOB will see some random event, in this case your grandmother feeding dogs, and this event is later confirmed to have actually taken place. And then when a person tries to validate an OBE, for example sets up a card experiment, the following OBEs are rarely, if ever validated. It sometimes seems like a cosmic joker messes with OBEers just for the fun of it!   

Cheers
Grey

Hallo OmCasey

Just recently I finally got around to watching some of your videos on youtube. They were quite interesting and well thought out. You did a good job relating personal feelings and inner growth with the events of the actual OBEs.
I'll check out this new video, thanx for the link.

Grey

Welcome spacewrangler
you wrote

I'll share any new experiences here if they are worth recording

That's the way that I feel about it too. Of course nobody has to post anything here. Yet if the experience is unusual, and Not too personal in nature, then I like to post it here to get comments, questions and general feedback.

Sincerely 
Grey

Welcome AstralBlogger
Yes, I certainly Do remember you. We have 'talked' in various forum threads several times. Let's hope your second stay here is a Long one.

Hallo Lone Star. Welcome to the Pulse
It appears that you have a natural ability to go out of body but have not yet learned how to do this on command. There are many different methods to deliberately induce an OBE. Most of those methods can be found at this site.
