ROTFLMAO, your bed must have been fitted with antigravity plating.
Astral Projection can feel more real than real life sometimes, I do seriously think it was an "accidental projection" (yes, they do happen[;)])

It wasn't really funny, it was extremely scary, however I can appreciate it now after a few hours.
Ever been practising AP or meditation and all of a sudden you notice that you can see through your eyelids? I've had this earlier, it's like watching the physical with some small changes (like no bed cover etc).
I think Robert Bruce refers to it as real-time sight. The few times I've had it before, it has only lasted a few seconds. The sight is perfectly clear, but it's kind of "grey". I.e. waking up in the middle of the night and putting on some night goggles. You see perfectly fine. It can also be compared to being in darkness a long while, your eyes have adapted and you see fine, just a litte "grey" (this was a little brighter than that though).
This was just like that, same kind of sight. Though lasted a lot longer, and I could FEEL my body on the bed being raised, and I could FEEL my legs being ABOVE my head!
I have been thinking about it ever since it happened. And only explaination I can think of is that I got real-time sight. I was fully concious, but my subconcious was playing tricks on me. However should I really feel my body being raised for this!?
That is the only explaination I can think of. If anyone have any thoughts, or other ideas I'd really appreciate it.
I agree with Spectral Dragon on this one. Sounds to me like you transitioned your conscious awareness over to the astral side of things, and this is where the experience took place.
Now you know why people like myself usually have to thrust an arm through a wall or something, just to convince ourselves that we are indeed having an OBE, because it feels more real than "real life."
Congratulations!
Oh, and don't be thrown by the greyness of the environment. When in the astral, even though it is sunny outside, things can look like nighttime in your OBE, or vice versa. It's all relative.
Jeff_Mash,
Thanks, yea I am sure you are right. That does sound like the most "logical" explaination... Still weird though, nothing like earlier times. I didn't even notice myself splitting, one second I was in physical, and the next it was "night" and I saw things... Didn't even finish my mental sentence the last time, lol.
okey my heart is pounding pretty hard now... Something weird just happened, suggestions are welcome.
I woke up (I KNOW I woke up, because it wall all light I was awake etc). I had been waking up and going back to sleep a few times, and thought I'd do the same. But wasn't too eager. I rolled over from my side to my back. I have never been able to really sleep nor AP on my back. I though, "this isn't working I can't sleep on my back". And the next thing I know my bed is being lifted! From laying straight down, the side of the bed where my feet are was being raised! I was fully concious during this and started freaking. Thoughts like "am I APng?", "stay calm", "I should perhaps try and get out of body" started popping up. But it wasn't like an AP (to judge from when I've been out). The bed continued to raise, and when the bed was raised so much that my legs were about to fall behind my head I really freaked, and was either because of that, or because of other reasons, but I was then awake like normal.
One of the reasons I don't think it was an AP was because my room was very bright, and the sun is shining outside. But when this happened it was greyish. Just like it's been the times I accidently got astral vision (i.e. not split, just laying in bed trying to AP and then seeing through my eyelids.
However this time was different... I FELT the whole thing! It wasn't like I just watched the bed going up. I FELT IT! I felt it just as well as if being physical.
I'd really like to know if it was some sort of weird dream (I never lost conciousnes, at least not that I noticed).
Something similar happened a few hours earlier... But I thought of it as nonsense... I had a dream where a recently dead friend of mine as well as some other old friends was in. I woke up in the bed, but drifted on the edge of sleep. Wasn't really awake... but wasn't asleep either. I was in bed, had the similar "greyish" feeling... Like in the middle of the night wearing night goggles or something. And noticed that the recently dead friend from the dream was sitting next to my bed. I was concious but felt the subconcious had a bit of control (i.e. edge of sleep, too tired to see using your phyical eyes... But still knowing you are in bed, and feeling my body). I of course assumed my thought of the dream had continued a bit in when I woke up, since the subconcious was still active...
I still don't think it was my friend... freaky still...
However the bed thing was a lot weirder...
I'd really want to know if these were some kind of weird dreams?? These experiences had the same type of "sight" as when I've had "astral vision" a few times. Except that I really FELT the bed thing, it lasted a lot longer, I could look around and emotions didn't seem to stop it as easily.
Also it wasn't like it was muddy or anything. I saw perfectly fine, only that it was like waking up in the middle of the night wearing night goggles.
