Dream to Lucid to OBE to Dream

[Eas]

Hey All, Haven't posted here in a while but had an amazing experience I wish to share, it all started with the dream I was having last night.

I dreamt that I was eating little fish out of my pond at home because they tasted really nice, but I ate too many and started to feel sick, I learned that tonic water made you feel better after eating little fishes so I tried to go find some. I couldn't find any so I started to make potatoes in gravy. I then went to see a doctor because I wasn't getting better, after I told him that I'd ate live fish he said I'd need a kidney transplant as I'd most likely got kidney disease, I thought this was totally ridiculous and it must be a dream.

At this point I kind of woke up, rolled over in bed and went back to sleep. But I held onto the lucidity I had just felt and realised I was in the mind awake body asleep stage, I could feel very intense vibrations and tried to go out of body, I tried opening my eyes at first but could feel my real eyes opening. I then relaxed and just came out, first opening my astral eyes and then rising out of my body, I came into what felt like my bedroom but was different, there was my bed but everything was layed out differently and it was a two storey room. I looked at my hands and asked for more clarity, I met an old woman who told me she was my guide, she seemed to have been waiting a while for me (I've been trying for a conscious OBE for a few years now), she was telling me how some things would be the same and some would be different, she pointed out my brothers who were playing a computer game with each other, but they couldn't see me. I was focusing too much on my vision as I wear glasses in real life and my vision became blurred until I realised I wasn't using my eyes and then it became clear again.
The woman led me to a door and told me to open it and walk through, it led on to a garage area with a van in it...I think this is where I went back into a dream.

The woman told me to get on the roof of the van and she got in the drivers seat, a dirty homeless looking man climbed on the van and started attacking us with a length of chain. The old woman turned into my girlfriend and I started goading the old man to attack me instead of her.

After that I woke up and started writing down everything I remembered.
A few other things: in another part of the experience I remember being pulled through a cloudscape kind of place, I wasn't flying myself but being pulled through by an unknown force, I'm not sure where this came on the chronology of the experience but I remember it.

I also remember feeling fearful and nervous before I came out of my body, but when I was out I just felt elation and happiness, it was he happiest I've felt in a while as in the real world I seem to walk about with a sack of potatoes on my shoulders, I felt so light and free when I was out of body.

Well that's all of my experience, sorry for writing so much but I had to share everything that happened last night as it was probably the best dream/OBE experience I've ever had.

Did you notice a distinct difference between the dreams and the OBE? Was it just a clarity and lucidity thing or did it 'feel' different.

Yes it did definately feel different, but is hard to explain, I kind of felt like myself but not, I felt like a projection of my own body, if that makes any sense lol. I can't really explain how it felt.
