Today between classes I had a four hour layover and I decided to take a nap before studying for a test I had Friday. When I went to lay down, I decided I would do a little energy work to "warm" myself up (I was cold heh. So I did, and raised my energy to where I felt pretty good all over. Did a little praying....went to my "peaceful place"; sort of a mind scape if you will. Relaxed there a bit...then I kinda let go and felt myself drifting off towards sleep. I woke up to where I've been before which from what I understand to be the brink of an OBE. My body was vibrating and I felt a lifting sensation. I felt like I was beginning to float up...just a little...More like I was being pulled. It was then I began to see (with my eyes closed!). Everything was blurry at first, and then lights became apparent. Light and dark separated and objects appeared. I seen what appeared to be a dark figure near me who fled when I looked towards him. I could not make out colors besides shades of black, white and a few bright blue strings of light that would pass my sight. I could make out my room somewhat, but the perception was so strange and a bit blurry. Things got intensely bright at one time. I was so excited when my alarm brought me back to the real world. I didn't leave my body, but I seen...astrally I guess?

You may well have left your body and seen your astral double take off with a copy of your consciousness while the consciousness within your body retained awareness of the experience. In any case, it's jolly good fun, isn't it?

I second that interpretation. I have had times when I've been 'brimming with energy', when I lay down I see these swirly sparkly misty energy just coming out of me, and then I'll have pre-projection symptoms, ~you know~ the rocking, slow vibes, and then pow! It all goes away and I can feel my energy body leave me behind. I sometimes wonder if I can just lay there with my eyes closed and try to 'tune in' to it, but so far no dice.
