Another strange lucid dream wake up...

[Milkdrops]

Wanted all your thoughts on a lucid dream I was having last night. It wasnt that nice and ended
just before a woman was about to pull the trigger of a gun pointing to my head. Whilst
lucid in the dream I was trying to will myself to be ready to die but I dont think I was aware
I was in a dream. Anyway just before she pulled the trigger I foundmyself concious in blackness
for a few seconds with the sound of myself breathing. It was also as if the sound of myself breathing was
in surround sound and louder.

I was a little scared so I woke up seconds later but during this very brief void is it safe to say
I was possibly between a dream and being asleep? I was concious yet for those few seconds confused
as to why my breathing sounded so loud. You people think Had I hung around in the void I may have induced
an AP/OBE? your views please.

I am pretty sure you could have induced an OOBE from that state. So far all my successful exits (around 10 probably) have been from a similar state. I realise I'm asleep, so I just get up and out of my body. This kind of state usually comes right after a vivid dream or when I try to do something in the middle of the night physically like look at the time or get up to go to the bathroom or something like that, but instead end up in a "dreamlet" of doing it.

Today, for instance, I was trying to get to the bathroom, but every time I found myself in a dream until I figured I could use it to AP. I got out of the body, but was in my grandparents' house for some reason, which is like 2000 km from where I'm now. I called for a helper (never done that) and had my first out-of-my-room experience. We just flew around some beautiful night landscape, which was interesting, but my level of awareness was very low, I lost it quickly and woke up.

When next time you happen to be in that state, ie. sleeping but conscious, I suggest you just try to exit somehow, whatever method you prefer.

I'm not sure about the loud breathing part, it may have been not physical actually, like a small dream or something.
