Thread: Did I just experience an OBE?

Okay, here are the essentials of my recent experience:

I've been trying to have an OBE through basically, meditation, relaxation, and using WILD to cruise through the sleep process until I'm in sleep paralysis, at which point I leave my body. But, I'm not very good at the WILD technique so I have tried to integrate other knowledge and techniques to create a customized method....anywho:

During my second dream of the night, I become lucid, In my dream, I am laying in a bed and recall my desire to have an OBE. At this point, I try to wake myself up more and imagine myself rising up, effortlessly above my body. My dream goes black and I can feel my physical body vibrating uncontrollably yet not uncomfortably. I begin to leave my body but then get scared, as I remember some of the scarier tidbits I've read in Journeys out of the Body...I freak and return to my body and am back in my dream. I try again, and this time I wrench up, everything atingle, and my upper body is close to the ceiling of my room. I can't seem to get my feet out of my body. I return to my body. I try once more, with the roll out technique and it works quite well, but my feet, again, are trapped. I go back into my body, and wake up.

It was an amazing experience, and I'm quite confident that it was real. But, my question is, was it really a real OBE or was it created by my mind in my lucid dream because I've been wanting one so badly? Also, any knowledgable OBE-ers out there have any tips? Especially in regard to the method I'm employing?
