      Lucid or OOBE?

      I'll be brief.

      I had my first ["lucid dream"?], after the discovery of this kind of things (lucid dreams, dream manipulations, etc.). But that wasn't like "Hey, that bus can't fly: I must be dreaming!". It was, instead, something happened after a WILD attempt (I think). As you should've already guessed, I am really a newbie in all of this stuff.

      Anyway, I went into a sort of paralysis, after staying a bit on the bed without moving and repeating me a mantra like "I will notice I'm dreaming etc.".
      Then I dreamt, from the beginning, ME exiting from my body. I was just the same as in reality - I was laying on the bed, on my right side of the body. But then, trying to move my hand, I saw my colorless hand depart from my real hand, which instead remained on the bed. I saw everything from my first person perspective. Then I woke up (in the dream) and I did a reality check - I trespassed my hand with the other hand. Then the dream continued, and after a while I lost lucidity (or went to another dream?). Unfortunately, I didn't check if my real body, behind me, was still on the bed. I didn't know, at the time, what oobe were (neither do I now, actually).

      That said, I am wondering: was that an oobe experience? I don't know that much about this kind of stuff. I'm reading a lot, and I will continue to do so in the next days. But for now, I'm pretty a newbie. So I hope you'll enlight me. The point of all this story is that it was really realistic and natural. There was NOTHING strange. Nothing I wouldn't have done in real life. I know it was a dream, because of the reality checks I did only because I remembered I had to do them. But, besides the hand trespassing the other hand, everything was just real.

      hard to say as it sounds like you only had somewhat weak lucidity during the experience. i'd say keep working at the techniques and make sure you're working on your memory recall by keeping up on your dream journal. really though nobody can tell you in the end you have to decide for yourself.

      Cool. I thought I was making some huge mistakes (because I haven't read anything about oobe, just heard a little of it here and there), like "No man, OOBE it's a totally different experience, that was clearly just a lucid dream".

      no i definitely wouldn't say "clearly it was just a lucid dream". it's very possible you had an OOBE but like you said you seemed to have lost some lucidity during the experience which makes it hard to tell. with some practice though you can learn how to stay grounded in it a lot better. one thing that works really well for me is to rub my hands together and you need to do it often.
