Possible cases?

[Dragon #103]

After reading a couple topics here, I think there might be some cases where I was going into some of the early stages of ejection.

1. I was dreaming, humbly bouncing along through my dream, until I suddenly lost control of the dream, and my in-dream body was no longer being controlled by me. The best way I can describe the situation in my dream, it felt like I was being possessed. I know this is a bad example; but its almost like watching a demo of a first-person shooter game. I felt my back against the bed, the things in the dream, and at the same time, me sitting upright and wiggling around frantically. My back was in the air and against the bed at the same time, it felt like. I also had these vibrating feelings, and in every nightmare I have these feelings occur: I am paralyzed and try to wiggle around, feeling almost three things at once.

2. When falling asleep, I sometimes find myself, as I've read before, paralyzed and having these unusual vibrating sensations, and like pressure is being made on my head. The noise from the fan down the hallway became louder and louder. This happens every once and a while, and sometimes my surroundings are altered. For example; one time I was falling asleep with my cat sleeping on my belly. When I went into this paralyzed state, my cat grew teeth the size of nails and bit a hole in my hand, which I couldn't move out of the way. It hurt too. (I know my cat would not bite me in real life.) I tried to yell for help, but I only heard my whispers. Maybe these are just dreams, but my mind captures an image of my surroundings as I fall asleep, and alters them in the dream.

3. One night, I was chatting with a friend on the phone, walking around outside. I don't know what happened, but I felt like nothing was real. I still saw, heard, and touched everything that my physical body did, but it felt like I mentally split from my body. My physical body continued the conversation, laughing to my friend's stories, but my responses --as I heard them-- were unpredictable. It was almost like I was not in control of my body for a brief moment and it was a different person, yet it still flowed along as nothing changed, and my spirit --I suppose-- was tagging along about a foot behind it.

4. Sometimes, while relaxing, it feels as if the bed is tipping over and I am going to fall off, but nothing is moving, sort of like a sinking feeling. This feeling also comes with mild vibration/tingling feelings.

I think that all of these cases show you were ready to leave your body. The case with your cat seems to have been a hallucination + sleep paralysis, which are often for the hypnogogical state. Case number 3 - a shift of awareness, maybe?
Anyhow, I assume that if you put some conscious work to the sensations you experience, you would soon be able to AP.
