was this an obe?

ok so im kinda confused about htis one.. definetaly felt like an out of body experience. but it had many dream like qualities.

ok so i woke up at 6 to do a WBTB and before i fell asleep i started feeling the vibes. i woke up (or so it would seem) in a movie theater, a movie was playing on the screen. it was irrelevant. anyways, i was lying down in the same position as i was in my bed (on my stomach). my vision was not blurry or distorted like it might be in a dream, and i had the exact same consciousness as i did when in the bed.

heres what really throws me off. it would seem that i was in a dream, but i didnt have dream type consciousness. i was consciously trying to project in the theater, i knew that i was lying down, trying to project. i was not watching myself do this. the same consciousness that was I lying in the bed, was trying to project in the movie theater. it was as if i were still in my bed with my eyes open, but the images of the theater were overlapping my vision, i was there. but i didnt realize i was in a dream. had i realized i wasi n a dream i wouldve simply flew through the ceiling.

so anyways, im in this theater, and im feeling the vibes, making them stronger every time before they fade for a short while.

theres another part here that requires some explanation

you know when youre meditating? and you can all of a sudden percive the blackness in front of your eyes as 3d? it requires a subtle mental effort, does it not?

well this is what i did with my vision in the theater. it was as if i wasnt dreaming at all, i was simply lying in bed having an intense vision, and i made everything "snap into 3d" but insteado f going 3d everything simply became more clear. as if my eyes had been obstructing my vision and now i could truely see. and then i willed myself out. and i left my body. i felt nervous, and wanted to see my body so i turned around, i saw my family (they were watching the movie too) but in the seat that i was supposed to be in, there was another body, someone ive never seen before, slumped to the side. they looked like they were out cold. i then faded back into my real body

so, by guess is that this was a vivid vision playing before my eyes, rather than a dream, as i was trying to project. is this how dream work? a projection over your current, like a hologram, and then you leave your body? thoughts? was htis an obe?

This sounds like "Mind-Split". I was just reading about this in Astral Dynamics and it's basically caused when you have an out of body experience while you're awake and you actually have dual consciousness and see through you astral eyes and physical or subtle body's eyes at the same time.

I am sure some of the more experienced people in this forum can expand on this for you.
