:| Hi Everybody,
I have just recorded an experience i had last night in my dream diary,
I was on a raised hill with some big concrete slabs as steps leading down and a few grassy areas around.
All the air around me was filled with thick fog, i tried to look around for objects in the environment but i couldn't see more than an arms length in front of my face.
The next thing i knew i was diagonally face down lying on the steps. At a weird angle, i was finding it hard to get back up and get back into a normal position.
I then tried to move for real (I tried to move my physical arms and legs in bed to roll over) and i couldn't.. i tried again with a lot of effort but i couldn't move at all! I realised i must be in sleep paralysis so i tried blasting upwards with my astral legs, like i was jumping up like a rocket, and i could actually feel the sensation of me doing this! i managed to move up and out a little bit, perhaps six inches out of phase with my physical body but i remember nothing after this...
Does this sound like i was in a dream or an OBE when i was in the fog?
i originally thought it was a dream but it occurred to me that it might be an OBE because I'm reading Astral Dynamics and it says about vision problems that can be encountered, i didn't think to remedy the vision problem with a loud affirmation at the time unfortunately!
i would be very grateful for any feedback!

Congrats on the experience. The best indicators are awareness level and lucidity, not clarity or control. If you had waking awareness and the knowledge you were in the non-physical, it was an OBE. If you just had reduced or dream-like awareness, it was a lucid dream. It sounds like you experienced bilocation and sleep paralysis. These are signs that indicate an OBE.
Thanks for the reply! i think it was a dream looking back because i didnt have waking like consciousness (ive had that before and i know how powerful and REAL it feels) but i must have transferred into my expanded energy body to do the jumping up and thrusting with my legs (energy body legs) .. its cool to feel sleep paralysis! ;)
Its happened to me before, where I have felt paralysed in my dream because I became aware of sleep paralysis.
Had this horrible nightmare last night actually where I moved a mat out of the way and there was this huge f off spider. I went to stomp on it, but it was too strong. Then it started coming at me and i couldnt move. I woke up with a jump and I was layed on my side and my left leg shot backwards.. Was urghhhhhh!
What was the future date reference for?
Ah, just noticed the date..
It was a mistake, its meant to be July.. im going on holiday in October so it must have been on my mind when i posted!
