Thanks for your replies - I guess I have a lot to learn!

Any ideas why my "etheric" body seemed so heavy and hard to get back into my physical body?

Also - I'm certainly not contradicting anyone's opinion since I'm new to this subject, but it really didn't seem/feel like a dream.  I'm a big dreamer....remember my dreams almost every night which have run the gammit and, as mentioned, have dreams where I can control what happens and do what I like.  The whole sensation around this OBE was very, very different....I did feel very A PART from my physical.

When hovering above my physical, I'm not sure that I saw my physical body - it was more like I sense it there - but I doubt that makes any difference?

Normally I wouldn't write about such things but for some reason it had a huge impact on me.

Thanks again for your insights and time.

PS.  Just started reading Stuart Wilde....hope to learn more

Hi there,
I sought out a forum where I might be able to gain some insight into whether this was Astral Projection or not.  I have, in the past, had several lucid dreams where I am able to realizing I'm dreaming and then control the dream.  E.g:  I'm falling, and then say to myself "its a dream - you are in control" and then I can turn the fall into a beautiful flight or something.

However - this was different:

2 nights ago I felt/saw myself walking down the hallway of our house, I was dragging my right foot a bit.  I was very surprised and figured that I had been sleep walking for the first time ever.  Then I realized that I was still asleep, or at least my body was, as I found myself about 5 feet above my body.  I saw myself sleeping there, on my stomach.  I became afraid and wanted to get back into my body, but there was a feeling of being very heavy, and not being able to snap back in because of the position I was in.  I had to somehow turn my 'astral body?' over to get into my physical body.  It freaked me out a little because I felt like I wasn't in control (whereas in lucid dreaming I feel in control).

I know this wasn't 'just' a dream.

I've been reading a lot of non-duality books lately - perhaps blowing my mind a little too much!

Of course, now I'm awake, I want to do it again and see if I can go somewhere.  I'm sure if I'd had the balls I could have done it that night, but I honestly feared that I might be dead if I didn't get back into my body.

Any insight would be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
Sarah
