Was this a lucid dream or an obe?

So the once-in-every-six-months vibrations start last night. I took a tramadol as my back was hurting (mild narcotic) and I took a 5-htp before bed. Immediately in bed the vibes start hard. Now that I know what these vibes are that I've had 5000 times, they don't come hardly often. Now I'm not afraid of them anymore, so I let them go.

However I pulse, vibrate, my chest gets KRUSHED, the whining and spinning noise gets higher in pitch and nothing happens. WTF? I imagined a rope, and my hand grabbing it, Still nothing.

Now I do remember jumping out of my body and jumping back in it, but that was sort of a small memory and I'm not convinced it actually happened. Anyhow a (what I think) lucid dream happened. I don't know what a lucid dream is really. Anyhow my dream was that I was lying in bed like I was and all the stuff on my nightstand was on the floor neatly arranged.

I got up and moved it back. Alarm, book, ear plugs, lamp. Then I notice it's on the floor again. Now I'm freaked out. I'm convinced I was getting out of my body and putting that stuff on the floor, though probably not possible. So I started freaking out that there was someone in the house. This is still in the dream btw. So I check closets, bathrooms, tubs, etc and nothing. I go downstairs to the basement and the basement door is missing.  

The wind is howling outside and the skies are grey. The deck on the back of the house is my old pressure treated deck. I have a mahogany deck my dad and I built. I go out to the front and my dad shows up in his truck with wood, tools, etc to help build the mahogany deck (that he already built with me)

I try to convince him the deck was built but somehow it is now the old deck. He looks at me like I'm nuts.

I go back inside and look around the house. I go to the tv room and notice behind a couch is a sleeping bag. I have an axe in my hand. I pull off the sleeping bag and a person jumps up and attacks me. Guess who that person is? ME   so my body double strangles me. My wife runs upstairs and yells no. I'm like what should I do, kill it? ME?  

That's when I woke up. I was shaking and my whole body was tingling like in the vibratory state.

Anybody make any sense out of this? BTW, the rest of the night I saw figures passing by the 1/2 open door to the bedroom. It was not a good night. I was f****g freaked out.

Thanks for the response. The odd thing is that I lie there forever vibrating and nothing happens. Last night was whacked. Soon as I hit the bed, BAM Vibrating like mad. It was probably 10 minutes of vibrating then BOOM, I was jumping in and out of my body, but not consciously. It was sort of dreamlike, but more than that, but it didn't seem like a full blown OBE.

The dream part was whacked for sure, it was so real. I kept thinking I was in bed, but in the dream at the same time, it was sort of a dream within a dream and I was really in bed in real life. Before I woke even I was freaked out wondering which was real. When I finally awoke, I asked my wife if it was real.

I had to ask her to accompany me out to the garage at 2am so I could have a smoke. I was still vibrating hard and I was freaked out. What a baby ha?   I went to bed and the door was cracked to let the cats in and out of the bedroom and I kept seeing shadows pass through the slight opening in the door. I closed my eyes and saw demonic faces.

WTF? I never hurt anyone or anything in my life. I never have happy dreams. I do have a whole lot of fear of the unknown. So basically a fear of life and death, which stems from PTSD from a nasty childhood of parents fighting. I don't play the victim and blame anyone, I'm past it consciously, but subconsciously I have major fear. I with I could get rid of it. I need a NDE, that would get rid of all the fear I have I think. Anyhow thanks for the response maj.

As for the pills, it's htp-5 which is a serotoning precursor, and the ultram is sort of a synthetic mild opiate that helps relax muscles and contribute to a slight body buzz. If you've ever had a vicodin, it's kind of like that but very subtle. I don't take them much. Maybe one or two on the weekend when the sitting on my a** all week at the office has finally got to my back. You can order both online, legally. The ultram is not classified as a narcotic. Far be it for me though to advocate drug use
