Thread: What was this ?

I'm getting quite poor sleep in the last 3 nights, however last night I put myself in bed and I felt that my body 'paralyzed'. After this, I fell asleep or something like that and I felt that I got out of myself ! Like I just left my physical body because I could feel how I'm pulling myself out of my bed, but not with my actual body. After this, I started walking around the house and other places, even in other cities, but one thing is that I couldn't control very well myself and the other thing is that when I ' got out ' of my body and looked at my bed ( in my dream ) I didn't see myself laying there ( though I certainly was ).

So what was this and why did I have those two problems that I mentioned ?

Sounds to me like you were depriving yourself of sleep, went to bed, into sleep paralysis(Can't move, it is a natural sleeping process to stop you from acting out your dreams), perhaps got some hypnagogia(Sounds/visuals of an incoming dream, usually you feel the bed shaking, sense things nearby, see things, etc), then went into a dream that simulated an out of body experience

That could have been an OBE or a WILD. From reading around, I know, that it's not always easy to control your movement in OBE. It takes practice.

If I may, I would suggest you read a bunch of articles about both OBE and WILDs and decide for yourself, which one resembled your experience the closest. It's not always easy to tell, even after many experiences. Hope this helps a little. Happy dreams
