False Awakenings & Projectoin

[themadness]

Just the other night I had a false awakening (it's when you dream that you wake up and get out of bed, but in fact you're still dreaming) in which I tried to project. It's rather frustrating as I've been in a rut with these lately.

I believe that my consciousness has returned to my body and I'm going to project. Typically I can feel out my astral(energy?) body and I can rise out of my body a few feet before my energy runs out and I sink back to my body. At this time I don't have enough energy to even see, but I'll try to project yet!  This results in me giving up then "returning" to my body. I'll "wake up" then realize I'm still dreaming then truly wake up.

Sorry if that is all confusing, but if anyone has had a false awakening you would know what I'm talking about. So, does anyone have any tips on turning a false awakening into a positive? ..specifically for OBE? Any advice?
