Thread: Weird experience...not sure what to make of it.

This is how most of my WILDs happen. There is a shift of awareness from the physical body, to the dream body. If this is the beginning of AP or an OBE, that is for you to decide. Personally, I leave an unknown playing card face down on my dresser to check whenever I WILD into my room or have a false awakening. There have been many interesting 'coincidences'

Yeah, I've heard of that card trick before. That's something I'll probably try next time this sort of thing happens (it's cool that you've gotten interesting results with it!). The thing is, I hadn't gotten any sleep prior to this episode. Maybe I was misinformed, but I was under the impression that you can't WILD into NREM sleep (either that, or it's very tough and uncommon, or maybe the situation needs to be just right). This is what made me think it was a possible OBE. I guess I'll just have to explore it further next time and not get so freaked out.

Speaking of which, how difficult can it be to get back into your body if/when this happens (assuming it can happen)? Is it usually as easy as willing yourself back? This is probably what I'm afraid of the most.
