False Awakened OBE

[Nay]

Hey GRRegis.

Perhaps when you sat up it wasn't your physical? did you get up all the way?  The mind can be a tricky thing...sounds like you were already out, but you were thinking too much in the physical. I know that some of my experiences I can't even explain cause they are sooooo weird, like a time delay, being in two places at once..ect..

I don't think I helped..hopefully someone else can explain better []

I obviously wasn't in physical body because it was all happening during a false awakening, but the reason I though I was in my physical body was because I looked back at my bed and I wasn't there.  It was pretty mind blowing though, it left me really confused.

OH..sorry about misunderstanding the false awakening..

I had remembered reading somewhere in Robert Peterson's OBE book online about not seeing his physical and found it..

...At that time I realized that my eyes were closed and I really wasn't seeing anything at all. My vision was totally dark. So I opened my astral eyes and turned around to look back at my body. The room looked normal. I could see everything in it. I looked at my bed and it looked just like it should: all messed up. But there wasn't a body on it that I could see! I tried squinting, but I still didn't see my body. I did notice that the bed linen was flattened, as if there was some object on it, but the object was totally and completely invisible. I thought, "Oh that's interesting. I wonder why I can't see it." I closed my eyes and tried to turn on clairvoyance. I could barely mind-sense my body as a filmy, gray shadow on the bed. I just thought, "Hm. Oh well," and decided to go do something....

Maybe this is what happened to you?  It's possible to be out of body, and not see your physical.

I too had an experience when I was soooo sure I was OOB and looked back at the bed to see nothing..but there was this inner voice saying go down stairs..I ignored it because I thought "oh, ok..I didn't get out" but I often wonder what I would have found if I just would have taken the few seconds to walk downstairs...

Hope this helps.

I think this is totally possible and Im pretty sure it happens to me. also.  I have actually been so sure I was awake and out of bed, walking to my the bathroom-but it was so strange because I felt like I was drugged or walking with a wet blanket over me-than I felt like something started trying to suck the life out of me and poof! I woke up back in my bed a minute later (I had looked at my alarm when I thought I had woke up) and realised I had never physically been out of my bed at all!!! I am pretty sure I was out of my body, although I hadnt been trying to OBE-it just happened....

I was waking up this morning and I decided to try to try to wait for the vibrations.  They started to come and I relaxed, and eventualy I projected, but I couldn't see (this would have been my second).  I asked for good vision, but it didn't work, then I got forced back into my body.  I looked at the time, and I remember it was past nine (it was on a digital clock, so I thought I was awake), and I tried to wait for the vibrations again.  They came, but I couldn't project, when I tried to sit up with my energetic body, I just sat up with my physical body.  Eventually, I really woke up and looke at my clock and it was 8:45.  I again tried to relax and wait for the vibrations, but I couldn't really relax b/c I was thinking about this wierd expirience.  Has anyone else had this happen?  Is there anyway to induce an OBE with a false awakening?  Is there really any difference between the two different OBE's?  thanks.
