A bit confused

[Ivanda]

I have had OBE-like experiences several times since I started practicing. I relax completely, feel sudden rush of energy, sometimes whooshing sounds, sometimes something else and I literally feel myself exiting and moving around in my room or hanging near the ceiling; however, I can`t see anything for the most part (''Clarity now'' does not help), so I was wondering if those are real OBEs or just illusion? All my what-could-be OBES are wake-induced, so I remain aware of my breathing and some sensations in my body, which complicates things a little.

I hope that with time I will improve and can tell the difference. The sensations are quite realistic, but brain is capable of such things, isn`t it?

Could somebody answer, please?

MajorTom,

thank you for responding. I have tried this, but without much success. I hope one day to acieve lucid dream and try from there, so I can really forget my body.
