Did I have an OBE?

Something very quick happened to me the other day and I'm wondering if it was an OBE.
One morning I woke up just before the alarm, so I turned to the other side of the bed to switch it off before it rings. (the alarm is on the nightdesk on my hubby's side of the bed, and that morning I was alone). I saw the time said 7.50. Then I rolled back to my side of the bed. And then immediately I woke up and I rolled to the other side to turn off the alarm (saw that it was 7.55 actually) and then I realised that what I did just seconds before was not real, as my body didn't really move. But I was not dreaming either. Did I just experience a quick OBE?
But I didn't feel any vibrations or anything 'weird' before rolling out of my body, so that's why I'm not sure if I've actually experienced it.

It very well could have been, you were close enough to waking consciousness to have the intention of looking at the clock, but still "out" enough to do it OBE . Not having vibes or weird sensations I would consider a good thing - not only are they not necessary, but there's nothing like a smooth transition. I tend to experience a lot of weird stuff right before I wake up.

What you experienced is called a "False Awakening".  There are various theories about what this actually is.  It's interesting that you were so accurate with the time on the clock.  I have experienced this many many times, but am usually off when reading the time on the clock.  In fact if you recognise such false awakenings for what they are you can use them as a launchpad into a type of OBE. Just get out of bed and you will be in an OBE-like state.  This isn't as good (for me at least) as waking normally in the morning and getting back into the MABA state and then exiting, because the False Awakening tends to have more dream/fantasy elements than a properly induced OBE.  However, it is a type of OBE.
