This happened a few years ago. But I would still like to share, and again, hear some feedback.
It wasn't a nice experience and I think extreme paranoia was the catalyst.
I was home alone, my roommate was spending the night at her boyfriends place and Me and my boyfriend weren't spending the night together. I went to bed Trying not to think about anything scary. (thankfully Im over that and spend every night alone as my husband works nightshift).
At 1:40 am I awoke and immediately thought to myself, get back to sleep or else you'll be up all night afraid of everything...as soon as I closed my eyes I heard this earth shattering crack. I seriously thought the ground had split in two. I sat up and dialed 911 from my cell phone. A rude guy answered and I began to explain. he shouted at me to state my name and location. I sputtered it out then asked if there has been an earthquake and What i had heard. He again shouted and asked dont you think there are other people in this world besides you?! At this point i heard the downstairs tennant screaming so i hung up and ran to the back door, which led to the basement suite. When i opened the door there was a gigantic frog/toad that was yellow and white. i stepped over it and went downstairs. The lady's bed had been moved into the dining room and she had two people by her bedside as she laid face down screaming. i asked what was happening and they said she was having a heart attack. I asked if i could help and she snapped her head back. She had black eyes and a red mouth and she screamed, no you cant help me!! I started backing up the stairs screaming and woke up in bed screaming. It was the first time I realized that none of that was real. It was 1:43 so three minutes had passed. I was so afraid, i called my boyfriend and waited til he got there to leave the bed. I had to use the washroom but didnt dare leave, as the events of that night were very real!
I wonder about the crack, can sounds occur when you separate? Also about the toad almost standing sentry at the door. The rest of it i know was my own fearful manifestations.
I'm no good at classification of things, so I wont delve into the can of beans of ap/obe/dreams, but it's very believable that everything can happen in three minutes, no matter what it is. The mind really ticks quick and what's time to a thought, anyway? It can be really startling for strange things to be happening and thinking your conscious and running around.
Some have mentioned sounds upon separation. Sometimes as loud as a gunshot. Oh yeah, startling.
Hope this helps a bit.
It was not a good experience for you but I must say I really enjoyed your experience. But I can understand your condition after that experience.

It's pointless anyway ChopstickFox.. in reality the only thing that separates the 'different' experiences is their focus of intent level. It's akin to ascribing different emotions or actions rather than actual differences of self. :)

From the description that you provided it appears that you did have an OBE. Or perhaps a false awakening. IMO there Is a difference between these two experiences and the most important difference is clarity of mind and lucidity.
