Thread: Help! I don't know whether this was an OBE or a dream!

I believe this is a dream with the characteristics of an obe. So not an actual obe

I think this was an OBE but because you may have little experience with it, you were probably getting excited and got back into your body again. I had about two OBEs myself, but from some research on the topic on other's experiences I conclude that you had partial astral blindness. I have not had astral blindness before, but I read that you could pry your eyes open with your astral hands or just visualize a small tv screen and zoom your focus into it to regain sight. Also, from my experience and from reading others, it seems good to get about 50 feet or more away from your physical body just so you do not get pulled back in too soon. With more OBEs you will get used to it.
Have you tried using a timer?

A timer, huh? I never thought of it, but thanks, now I'll try it. But why was the door different than in real life? And based on what I remember, everything else in the room was the same as it is in real life.

vibrations are a tell tale sign of obe experiences. when you first climb out of your body your performing a ethric projection which is the subtle body closest to the physical one. The further you move away from your physical body the closer you get to the astral body., and the more likely you are to control and prolong the experience. namaste. Ethreal relm is very close to the physical (less dense) and much like a parallel universe. Somethings in your room you will recognize to be the same some things will be slightly off or out of place.

Yes, I know that vibrations are a tell tale sign of OBE experiences, BUT, the ones I experienced in this OBE lasted for only a few seconds and were not nearly as intense as the ones in my second OBE, which is partly why I doubted that this was an OBE in the first place.

vibrations dont always happen in obe & ap experiences. However there are other ways of verifing the experience, like looking at your body laying in bed or being in familiar environments related to where you last slept like your room or somewhere else in your hm, getting atleast 50 feet feet away from your body and calling on your spirit guide, immediate awareness of non physical experience etc. etc. etc.
