I dont know how to explain what happened, but will try my best. maybe someone here with more experience or someone who had a similar experience could help.

While sleeping, (I was not dreaming about anything at this stage) I realised I could have an OBE and knew I had to start vibrations. The vibrations started in my feet and worked its way up to my head. I remember thinking that "this is not so bad"- i was not afraid and the vibrations were subtle. I then knew I had to get out of my body.  I tried a couple of times to sit up, but failed. I then rolled out of bed and fell on all fours next to my bed.  I got up and laughed because i seemed to be swaying and could not see for a couple of seconds.  When my vision returned, within a couple of seconds, I was in my bedroom. It was dark, but I noticed that the tv that is situated at the end of my bed was on - a black and white film, I think a cowboy movie was showing.  I noticed a figure lying at the foot-end of my bed and walked around to see who it was.  It was my daughter, she was holding a beautiful smiling baby girl in her arms. Her face was turned away from me and the baby and I noticed tears streaming down her cheeks.  I bent down to look at the baby, smiled and turned to walk away, realising that I need to get on with the OBE.  Someone said "hello" and I remember wondering if it was my daughter, cos it did not sound like her or if it was the baby, cos surely babies don't speak? I was then aware of myself waking up and knew I had to do something.  I said "increase lucidity now", but unfortunately woke up in bed - wide awake!
Was this an obe - turned lucid? or did I just dream the whole thing?  Is it possible to dream that you are having an obe? Does this mean anything?
Please excuse all the questions, but this was a first experience and I really would appreciate some help/input.  I have only had one lucid dream prior to this.

Namaste,

It's possible to dream of having OBEs (I've done this a fair bit). What usually tells me if it was an OBE or not is my state of mind. In dreams, one is a passive observer. In OBEs I am lucid, conscious and have full control. I am not simply an observer; I have full control, and the ability to think like when awake.
If you were conscious and self aware, and rolled out like you did. It sounds very much Like an OBE.
Many OBEs seem to consist of a mixture of dream state and 'reality' events/objects. I find it best not to separate things too much (conscious dream state - OBE - LD etc), just be aware of the experience and work from there.
