So last night I went to sleep and next thing I know, i'm outside my apartment by the elevator. I look down the hallway and I see my friend with someone else. (This friend is a rather new friend so I dont know too much about him). I look at him and start "walking" to him. He smiles at me and says "You've never done this before?? Just fly over here. So my next thought is "Okay, on the message board they say to think about what you want to do" so I just think "fly" and i feel my self floating upwards and towards my friend. At this point for some reason as i am approaching my friend i start to freak out a little...maybe from the sensation of flying or something. So I decide to go back to my body. So i start thinking about my body and I feel myself falling backwards faster and faster until I wake up. I dont wanna ask my friend cuz i dont wanna freak him out, being a rather new friend and all... so i want you guys' opinion on whether this couldve been an OBE... thanks.
I may not know that much about AP, but I think it was a lucid. It's too much like my own few lucids. It wasn't the sensation of flying that freaked you out I think. It was the realisation that you can do anything, that you are more powerful than being used to all your life in the physical world. At least that freaked me out in my lucids. That PLUS an incredible enthusiasm, in my case. And I also think it was a lucid because that new friend of yours was there. I mean, what are the odds of you two meeting accidentaly in the astral? My vote's for it being a dream.
Sounds like a lucid dream to me.
