OBE turned dream?

[jkjk8991]

So this morning I woke up early to do a WILD. Basically got up, ate a little something, used the bathroom, and went back to bed a little after. I remember my body relaxing quite quickly. I felt vibrations soon after, and just tried to passively observe what was occurring in the darkness of my eyelids. I saw a small blue dot, and it grew, and grew. And then it was over half my vision this blue and I immediately thought it to be the sky and felt a rush of falling and became afraid. Which brought me back to the darkness of my eyelids. I thought to myself, no, no, this is a good thing, and I started again. Again i felt the vibrations, and saw a small blue dot, and it grew and grew. And I said to myself, no, I'm not falling, I'm floating. And it consumed my vision and suddenly I was way up in the sky near space, and I had a sort of map in front of me, almost asking where do you want to go? I chose my home, and I began spinning and spinning until finally I was at my bed. I hopped up excited, and began thinking about trying to find someone to help me, a guide. I walked out of my room and saw my brother, I spoke to him though he did not notice. I then went outside and saw my 5 year old niece with my mom, my niece was apparently able to see me and asked me what I was doing. I told her I was gonna fly. My mom was confused as to who my niece was speaking to. But then I saw goodbye to her and I flew over my town, eventually landing in some school. From here I saw my friends, and this is where it became very dreamy and I lost all awareness. At one point my friends acknowledged me, and I told myself that I must've woken up(which obviously doesn't make sense since I was still in the school) And from there they did strange things and the dream shifted much more.

So, was the initial experience an astral projection? Then as I lost awareness it turned into a dream? Or was the entire thing a dream? Why would I see my brother? I know he's away at Cape Cod for now. So I guess im curious if I actually have an astral projection or if I simply went into a dream with consciousness and dreamt of having an OBE. I was also using Isochronic Tones for a lucid dream, so would this possibly have effected my brain into turning the OBE quickly into a lucid dream?

The way Robert Bruce explained it to me was that my OBE's turn into dreams cause my body has fallen asleep and started to dream so I start to get an overlay of the two and the dream takes over as my body gets deeper into sleep. Not sure if I believe him though.

He advised propping myself up with more pillows in less comfortable position to stop my body going to sleep so quickly. I havent tried it out yet.

As long as you KNEW that you were in the non-physical, then it was at the least a lucid awareness experience.  IF you knew you were in the non-physical AND you had a normal waking awareness, then it was an astral awareness experience.

In my opinion, yes... you have it correct.  You simply lost awareness and you went into having a dream awareness.

MY perspective is that you simply lost focus and went from a lucid or astral awareness back to being in a normal dream awareness.

In my opinion they're all the same thing.  They're experiences that happen not in this physical reality. 

You successfully phased into the non-physical with either most or all of your conscious awareness (waking awareness)... you did some stuff, then lost focus and your awareness drifted back into a dream awareness at which point you lost the knowledge that you were in the non-physical.
