So I'm almost convinced that I am confusing an OBE with a lucid dream. I came to realize that I was dreaming while walking down the street I live on at night. I was really excited at first and quickly attempted to fly, though it was more like a glide. Either way, the whole experience felt extremely life like, the air was crisp and I could feel my hair blowing, when I walked I could feel the solid cement I was walking on, I could feel my body, look at my body, jump on the solid ground.my street looked exactly the same.. After I flew I really wanted to visit a local park, so I tried to think myself there, but I couldn't, I was still on the street and still completely "lucid". I then decided to just walk there. As I was walking everything looked so real and felt so real I was actually convinced I was outside and thought to myself "what the hell am I doing outside?" and got afraid but then I remembered that I flew so it couldn't be real life!! after some further thought I got really freaked out convinced that I was having an obe. I had an intense feeling of fear like I wanted to go back to my body, so I imagined my physical body and woke up to sleep paralysis with intense vibrating in my ears... I also remember this happening before I went to sleep that night too, but everytime I lifted my head the sound would go away so I figured it was just my ear to the pillow making strange sounds. then I read about astral projection and obes and it sounds just like my experience. Every other lucid dream Ive had doesnt seem so crystal clear and they have many dream like aspects to them and I can always tell they are dreams.
Would you say that was an OBE or an extremely vivid lucid dream? What are the differences between the two as you experience them?
