Hi Patty! I'm afraid I don't have an authoritative answer to your question, but I just wanted to drop you a line to say hey, glad you're back, nice to see you're having OBEs . . .
Here's my take on things: Sometimes you encounter an energy phenomenon that you don't understand. So, your brain makes something up, something understandable, to get you through the moment. This happens both in the ordinary world and on the Astral. That's it!
I don't know if that explains your OBE, but this theory has helped me through many a moment . . .

"As Above, So Below"
Well I had an obe once when I flew around the pasture next to the house where I grew up, complete with cows and flying thru bushes and ended when a raccoon bit me on the leg. Not exactly what you asked, but an anomaly that was contextually correct and seemed as real as other experiences.
here's a mildly interesting OBE from a few days back:
quote:
I had a brief sort-of OBE this morning. One of the types that seems logical at the time and only later I realize things don't jive. it started with me separating my arms, feeling two sets of arms, feeling both sets as real as can be. Then I separated my legs from my legs, and they also felt real - both sets. I tried doing some funky bendy stuff with the astral legs, that was interesting, they bent however I tried to bend them. I had the presence of mind to wake myself up a little more (get more into the C1 level of consciousness per Monroe) and saw that my physical body was still in the same position I had fallen asleep in.
Then I left the bedroom through a transom in the doorway (in the experience I thought "Oh yeah, there is a transom here" because I had had an experience a year ago in which there was a transom there) and went to the living room. I checked my clothing - long sleeved pink shirt which I don't own. Met my family of origin in the living room and had a giggle fit about how we were all there without our bodies - it seemed really funny at the time - and upon awakening realized that of course they aren't in the house with us. then went back and "re-entered" consciously and awoke.
My question for you, is whether, when you OBE into the real time zone, or even into the astral, if you see a continuity of circumstances, maybe even a continuity that you only remember while you are there. Like the transom in the OBE above. It isn't there in 'real' life, but I remembered it having been there and it was there again, this time. Sometimes it isn't there.
I'd love to hear about it, if you see some Reality Fluctuation events holding from one experience to the next -
