Weird experience not sure what it was. Insight would be good pls.

Something happened to me last night when I was sleeping something very strange. During the day for some reason I had something on my mind which was thinking about an old friend whom I missed from well over 20 years ago. I don't know why I had him on my mind but it was I am thinking it was subconsciously started by something but I have no clue what.

So I go to bed. I find myself semi conscious in a darkness around 60% in sleep mode and 40% conscious ....next thing I know I find myself in a huge area like a park and its raining heavily. By this time my consciousness raised a little like it was now around 55% conscious. I looked around and saw my friend who was also there after 20 years but he was as I remembered him when I last saw him....around 11 years old. The clarity faded out and I found myself waking up.

This felt more conscious than any regular dream or lucid dream does anyone think it was an OBE? I did not experience any other common feelings such as the vibrations or buzzing noises like so many report before projecting. I realized also when I was awake where I actually was which was the old park around where I used to live over 20 years ago. The specific night was also Halloween night
1988. My recollection was accurate as I do recall that night now when me and my friend were playing pranks on his sister and were going to dress up outside first to scare her later in my friends house. I did not seem to realize this during the recollection/OBE but I do now. It could not be time travel but it sure felt real so I am thinking I tapped deep into my minds memory banks or something or maybe observed back in time?

What you guys think about this experience? I can't be the only one with this kind of weird thing happening ....anybody else got something like this to share?

That's pretty strange..

I have no experience in that particular type of occurence, but I wanted to point out that I have almost never really in my varying states of "separation" (only done it consciously twice, once intentionally) had any buzzing sensations, vibrations, faces appearing, noises or anything like that. All I have had up until recently is a somewhat conscious false awakening with a keen awareness of paralysis in my physical body. Seems to happen differently for everyone.

Sounds like a "projection" to me though, I suggest read up on different accounts of the phenomena.
There's a theory which makes sense to me that "regular" dreams, lucid dreams, and "astral projection" are all basically the same occurence, but with differing levels of awareness/consciousness/lucidity. Apparently astral consciousness can feel more real than physical reality. Sounds like you had the priviledge of being more aware than usual. Similar things might happen again now if you're thinking a lot about it.

 I would say that all day long you had "prepared" yourself to experience what you did later. The daytime thought of your friend held on well into the Astral. I would say a phone call to your friend is in order. This sounds like a kind of "psychic message" sent from afar. Possibly your friend was thinking of you at the same time. We don't always have to experience vibrations or buzzing noises. The more I practice the less "signposts" I experience. Sometimes I just sit down to Phase, then 5-10 minutes later I am there. No vibrations, no expanded feeling, no sounds.
