It has happened while dreaming (with me lying on the ground or on a bed) and has worked as a reality check (with me gaining consciousness after the detachment). I had one spontaneous lucid dream and to me it's all the same. Can't tell any difference.

Wow, I'm noticing something quite similar. I have just a few days of experience and still cannot figure out how to get entirely out. When I go to bed I am able to wait for my second body to detach, but as i start pushing through I start opening my physical eyes expecting to see my astral arms push through and lose focus. I end up just focusing on the sensation of pushing through as I fall back to sleep and end up having extremely vivid dreams. I too am randomly gaining consciousness during my REM sleep cycle and feeling my second body detach... Once again I end up opening my eyes, expecting to see myself pushing through my physical body.

How are you getting out of your physical body?
