OOBE? I'm pretty sure it was...

[jackmac13]

hey all. well a couple of night ago I got home from work after a 15 hour shift. as you may imagine i was so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open.
I walked in the front door and went straight to bed without doing anything else. at some point during the night i had what i thought was a dream. so I awoke the next morning and thought nothing of it. after i got home from work that day I over heard my sister say to the cat in that cute little animal and baby voice "you slept in my room last night didn't you shanny" (shanny is that cat)  and that's when i remembered the "dream" i had.
in the "dream" i walked past my sisters room and saw the cat lying on her bed beside her, both asleep.
i went in an put my hand on the cat to pat it. the cat woke up with a huge fright and in turn woke my sister up. i said sorry to her and left and thats all i remember.

now for the stuff that makes me think this was an OOBE and not just a dream.
1. my sister NEVER EVER leaves her door open at night and that night was no exeption, the door was closed all night. I'm thinking if I was in my astral self then the door's existance may just have been irrelevant to me.

2. the cat shanny NEVER sleeps in my sisters room ever, but she did for some reason sleep in there on that night, and i didn't know she had slept in there until the next day when my sister mentioned it. i think it may have been a little to coincidental to be just a dream.

3. i got everything right, i told my sister everything that i could remember in detail and everything was right. down to the position and the place they where both sleeping.

my sister had no memory of this so it wasn't sleep walking, i think I may have awoken her astral self and there for she doesn't remember it.

the other strange thing is that my cat never jumps if you pat her while shes sleeping, she only jumps if she doesn't see something coming and all of the sudden it hits her.

I'm pretty damn sure this was the real deal, which is rather exiting to me since it's my first OOBE!
what do you recon?

That's interesting.

Based on everything I have studied about this subject, you actually project every night but you just don't remember. My guess would be that your sister's comment "you slept in my room last night didn't you shanny" brought the memory of this shift in awareness into your waking consciousness. That's why you read people on here telling others to consciously state that you will remember your experiences when leaving an OBE.

You may remember a regular dream in the same way only when you remember it, you realize that your awareness in the dream was not at the same level as your dream about your sister. It's all about awareness.
