This afternoon I had a floating experience.

I was lying on my bed sleeping. This time, some guy like my brother was with me again. There was another being there who was very holy, almost making me believe that he was here to visit me. I was aware of my real time surrounding and I was still lying on my bed sleeping, I could hear children playing on the distant playground. A guy was walking around my room and the living room doing something. All of a sudden, I felt this floating energy again and I knew I was about to float up, and in about three seconds, I was floating up from my body. It was cool because I felt this energy gathering in my body and knew that I was about to float up. Then up I went. I slapped my bed underneath, not sure whether or not I was making sounds, trying to get that guy to see me floating in the air. When he came by my side, I was still in the air. The floating happened about 15 seconds. The thing about it is that while I was in the air, I didn't seem to see well.

Then I continued to be in and out of the dream and my real time surrounding. I felt this sexual urge, while also heard the sound outside, the far away siren, and children playing on the playground. This guy was expecting someone. Some guy knocked on my door in the living room. I remembered get up and open the door. That guy peeked in for a while, but I didn’t let him in. I went back to bed, but tried to get up again to lock the door. I was still very drowsy and sleepy, and only got up half way and never did get up to check on the door. But gradually I was getting awake. I kept thinking whether I have got up and walk to the door.

I came to this realization that whenever I float or OBE, someone was usually around. Usually on that night or that day, I would have had coffee or tea, which makes my mind somewhat clear, meaning I was not totally pass out, and I would be in and out of dream state in my real time surrounding. Usually during the week when I was busy and my body was too tired, the OBE does not happen. It is usually in this in between dream and real time when I get to float up or OBE. I guess I just don’t have enough energy to explore and only had short OBEs.

I have had a few floating experiences in these past three four months. I didn't consciously induced them. It happened in either a lucid dream or when I was aware of sleeping on my bed. I wonder if this floating happened due to my anticipation of floating while in altered state of consciousness. But I definitely was not thinking of floating, since I was sleeping. In this state, thought seems to be able to produce the result right away. So while I have enough energy for floating, the minute I think of floating, I am able to float right up.

Before floating, it's almost like I sense the energy gathering and I know I am about to be raised up. It's a force that I can't resist. If I don't want to float, I don't think I can stop it though. Is this your experience too?

But I wonder why I never tried to fly away. Usually I was so excited that I didn't think of the next thing to do.

I believe that is the reason. If you have thought about it you have formulated the desire to do it, even though you haven't consciously thought about it. Your subconscious mind already has it's instructions. So awareness of the event is where the difference is.

Before floating, it's almost like I sense the energy gathering and I know I am about to be raised up. It's a force that I can't resist. If I don't want to float, I don't think I can stop it though. Is this your experience too? You can control it but you have to know how. Sometimes fear will abort the process but most of the time it'll happen unless you know how to stop it. And want to.
But I wonder why I never tried to fly away. Usually I was so excited that I didn't think of the next thing to do. That is common too, but you'll eventually maintain enough awareness to be able to plan.
