I awoke after a dream this morning and I layed in bed without moving or opening my eyes to recount what happened. I then sat up to grab my dream journal and realized that I wasn't physically sitting up. I got over excited and it felt like I slammed back down on my bed and like someone smacked the hell out of me. I was also pretty amazed when I physically opened my eyes and realized that they were previously shut although I was able to see my room already albeit a little hazy for lack of a better description. It was a pretty amazing experience since it was my first, although partial, conciuos projection.
