This happened just this week:
I'm new to metaphysics, so my journey has just begun (though I've had many 'paranormal' experiences growing up). I have never as far as I can consciously recall, ever had an OBE or Astral Projection, but my recent studies and energy work I believe have influenced my
dreams to the point where I can't quite tell dreams from spiritual experiences. Here is what happened:

I fell asleep telling myself that I would have an Astral Projection and it seems that I got the pseudo version (LOL!). I dreamt that just as I was falling asleep, I begin to feel very light and separate from my body; but my eyes are still closed, and I felt anxious about the exit and I woke up/opened my eyes (in the dream I think,'cause I'm still not sure). I acknowledged my anxiety, calmed myself and
said to myself I'll try again. So I go back into
sleep, eyes closed and behind closed eyes, I'm aware that I begin to feel light again and separate and retreat into my body due to lingering fear/anxiety. I open my eyes, calm myself and again begin to fall asleep and just then begin to feel like I'm floating.

This third time I allow it to happen and calmly
separate from my body and actually climb over myself, looked at myself and came off the bed, looking at my body asleep and feeling very elated!! My vision was a bit fuzzy and reminded me of the 'night vision'
appearance on video cameras.

I decided then to test out my 'body' and began
floating around the room and enjoying the 'flight.' I then tried to exit my room by floating upwards and hoping to pass through the ceiling and out of the house. I hit my head on the ceiling ( ) a few times and realised I could not get out. It didn't hurt since
the ceiling (in the dream) was a sheet of white padded material, so it was quite soft. But in my real room, the ceiling is partly wooden beams (brown) and only
part is white and concrete.

Anyway, I realised I couldn't get out of the room and I re-entered my body. I awoke, in the dream and told my fiancee, who lives with me, what I experienced and showed him the dent/head impression in soft padded ceiling where I tried to exit. I showed him to prove
that it happened, since the ceiling is too high for me to reach and the impression wasn't there when we went to bed.

We then went back to bed (in the dream), then I woke up. I shared the dream with him, and he had a good laugh at it, but boy was I disappointed.

Well that's it. Looking forward to your response.

You might have started to Astral Project but your anxieties kept you from leaving the room.

Hi Otasha

What an interesting experience.
Did you feel like you were dreaming or did it feel real for you?
I have never had an OBE before, but I was wondering if you felt or dreamed you felt vibrations. I ask because I couldn't sleep the other night.when I was just about to drop off or some where in between, I felt I saw an orb quickly pass by and as I turned to look at it I felt vibrations through my body, which I have felt before but this time I let it happen without any doubts. anyway, I am not sure if it was a dream or if it was real.I too felt light and floaty.But I just wondered if you had any of this?

Hi Purple,
I'm still not sure whether it was a dream or real. Not familiar with the term orb though, what is that?

Part seems very real, particularly since I was very aware of myself and how I felt and I remember opening my eyes on at least two occasions when I was anxious about floating out of my body. Someone suggested to me that I didn't have enough energy to continue floating out of the room, and became aware of 'reality' so that the OBE degenerated into a lucid dream then a dream.

Trying to work on my energy body and trying to see if I could deliberately activate an OBE.
