Thread: Having OBE in dreams.

Am I causing this to myself without realizing it or am I actually attempting OBE while being in the dream?

Please share more details.

No problem, I'll do my best to be accurate. Here's 1 event of it, this dream happen on 3/31/12. I was in a classroom ( Look very light blue ) and I was working on some papers. I decided to get up , I went over to the computer desk and ask this girl if she was finish using it, she said yes so I decided to go back to my seat. A boy name Michael was across from me and said what time was it? I told him you don't have much time to finish. ( I decided to look at michael face for 3 seconds and realize what is michael doing here and why was I in a classroom ) Then I began to become lucid, it felt like my consciousness lift up from my dream character body, when this happen I felt like I was in 2 places at once, I could still feel my dream character body but I above him however my lower body was still attach to the dream character making me stuck. In this process it felt painful as if I was ripping apart of my skin really fast. I said this is a dream, I am in a dream. ( I ran out of room Ill continue in next reply )

So you are having the OBE inside the dream, right? And it only happens when you become lucid? How often does this happen? Is it always painful?

When I turn my head I saw so many people sleeping in the classroom and they had a cord on them. This was a very vivid dream and I felt a lot of clarity however my head was hurting a lot in the dream as if someone was running electrcity over my head. That's when somthing from the ground started to suck me under the ground. I was calling out as I didn't want to lose lucidity that's when I suck completely under the ground. I woke up ( I was unaware that it was still a dream ) It was dark, I look for my dream journal to write everything down but couldn't. I ran upstairs and that's when I really did wake up. When I woke up my head felt the same way it did in the dream as if someone was running a eletric wire in to it. This feeling lasted for about 10 seconds and then faded.

That's what I am wondering, it felt like an OBE though inside the dream. Yes this process only happens when I realize I am dreaming in a dream. Out of most times I have became lucid it has happen about 6 times from it. No it's not always painful.

That's very interesting. I haven't read many accounts of an OBE within a dream, though it does happen occasionally by accident or by will. I personally astral projected in a lucid dream to spy on my enemy within the dream. I felt like my dream body was my physical body and I had no awareness of my physical body or even this world, because I was so caught up in the dream.

I wonder why it feels painful sometimes. That may have to do with fear.

I think when we OBE in our dreams, our astral body is moving around in the dream plane instead of the astral plane.

Great thoughts on the subject , Interesting way to put it you maybe right . Are you in control of this process of having OBE in your dreams? If so, what are ways to induce them as I have had much more luck having OBE in my dreams than trying to have them in the physical plane.
Fear could explain why it's painful, it caught me off by surprise because I did not expect to be attach to the dream character while feeling as if I am astral projecting when gaining lucidity.

I have had 2 instances of oobe in a dream recently. I was in a bed in a hallway in one of them and got the vibrations. Following this I tried the rope technique and I recall being flung/helicoptered down the hallway. The sensations were so overwhelming that I would gain consciousness in my real bed then fade off back into thw boomeranging sensation over and over again. It was more powerful feeling than being on a rollercoaster. The next one was I was in a room or dorm with like 3 other beds. I got the exit sensations and did the rope technique. I got out of body and floated down the room towards the door. Next I floated right through it. It almost felt like a lucid but either way, what the hell was I getting the vibrations for and doing oobe techniques for? Maybe because I study and read about oobe so much? (Shrugs) I have had 2 REAL oobe for the record. Not in a dreamy lucid like state. Anyways, enough rambling from me. Peace out...
