That's a tough one. I have had OBE's that drift in and out of dreams and have had dreams with in my dreams - none yet, as to what you said.
There is a clear desire to be seperate from your waking-self, or you feel like you cant connect well with others, here.
On a more higher note, youo may being reaching a new stage in your growth and are "stepping away" from your materialistic side.

don't feel alone in that, I have had several of those, where I dreamed I had an OBE.
Thank you! :)

I am all too familair with this phenomena. I have had what I thought was an OBE and later decided it was a dream...and vice versa. Once in a while I dream that I am beginning to leave my body in my dream only to find out that I actually was beginning to leave my body. I would realize this as I became more awake and could feel my etheric double beginning to peel away, usually it is my upper body which begins to seperate from the the physical.
Lately I have been having some rather unpleasant semi-OBE's which occur spontaneously and only when I am VERY tired. Sometimes these keep mee from falling asleep because every time I am about to fall asleep I begin to feel vibrations and then sometimes this incredible fear kicks in...it's not at all pleasant. I know if I followed through I would have a full blown OBE, but I am too tired and annoyed with the fear. Does this happen to others?

Thank you for your reply. In addition to the experience I posted, I have also had this experience. In fact, it was two nights ago. I was dozing off, and I could feel myself begin to get really heavy and begin to separate. I was really tired, and filled with dark, heavy fear. It would have been nice if the fear wasn't there, as I could have turned it into an OBE. But the fear was too heavy, and I had to get up and do something just to relieve it.

Hi, this happens to me a lot . . . both things I guess. Spontaneous OBEs that are MOST unwelcome . . . AND having OBEs while dreaming!
However, I am also a lucid dreamer, so it is hard to say whether the dreaming OBEs are "real" at all . . . but then again, what's real? Sometimes, when dreamining lucid, I experiment with bringing OBEs, with mixed success, depending on how with-it I am. Then, there are other times that feel very spontaneous and REAL. They usually go like this:
1. I am having a regular dream. It could be about the most mundane thing, it doesn't matter.
2. My regular consciousness breaks into the dream like an emergency squad rushing upon the scene: "YOURE ABOUT TO GO DOWN!"
3. I think, uh oh.
4. And then I go down. Immediately after the paralysis passes it feels as though I am back in dreamland, but the dream seems much more magical and meaningful then the one before.
And that's it for me . . .

i have only had dreams of obe's since trying to have obe's. i also have obe's where i think the dream mind is in charge of the show.
I've had this experience once, except it didn't happen like you'd expect. I was simply walking with my friend, and while walking, i closed my eyes, and i popped out of my body. My physical body kept walking, and I observed myslef walking next to my friend. I went back in after a few moments and i was pretty psyched (in my dream, semi-disappointed when i woke up). It was a positive experience, actually one of my more powerful dreams.
Hello everybody,
I recently had two dreams in a row in which I dreamt I had an OBE. In one of these dreams, I was lying down in somebody's living room, and then I drifted out of my body. In the OBE portion of the dream, it felt and looked just like a real OBE.
I almost wonder if this was a dream trying to turn into an OBE.
Have you ever had an experience like this?
Warm regards,
Jeni
