I have been in this state one time about 2 years ago. For me it definitely was a prelude for the OBE I had that night. |

This has happened to me a couple of times. The last time I was on a couch reclining. When this happens although I don't remember how I got to that state is it a prelude to an OBE? And any tips on how to get to this state again and what to do when I see through closed eyes again? I'm thinking about sleeping on a reclining couch again the next time I get a chance. |

I had this more times than I can count. I have noticed you don't actually see the world, you see a projection of the world. So for example if in your room there are two potted plants and been there for a long while, but that day you have moved one of them to another room, if you see the world "that way" both plants will very likely still be there. That is because your mental image of this place is still the same, it takes time to adjust. |

How do you know that this is not a dream ?
It's happened to me a few times. Everything is kind of greenish, like seeing through night vision goggles? Someone made a pretty accurate GIF here years ago depicting what it looks like, but I can't find it. |

hi, its not a prelude to an OBE. If you are lying there seeing through closed eyes then you are already lucid dreaming. Just stand up and enjoy your obe |

The Biggest Risk in Life is to Never Take One
For me it isn't, whenever I realise this is happening it stops. Although maybe now I recall, twice or thrice it happened. But I had it literally a couple hundred times. |

It's not a dream, it happens before you fall asleep. I was able to get up and navigate my messy room with my eyes closed. I never woke up. |

People report this sometimes when taking dissociatives, and very often when on deliriants (and quite vividly, I might add). I feel it has very little to do with an OBE in itself. It might be an indicator that you are entering a state of consciousness that is conducive to experiencing OBEs or lucid dreams, but that's just conjecture and even if it were true, nothing says it would always be that way. So, all I can say is "maybe" in regard to your question. What I can say, just to clarify for those that I have seen posit that they are indeed seeing through their eyelids, and not simply hallucinating, is that it is most definitely a hallucination. It has very little if not nothing to do with light penetrating through the eyelids or seeing with astral eyes. Not saying you claimed that OP, but just wanted to get that out of the way. |

Yeah, I got that. I meditated on my third eye (well... huh) and started to see my room with my eyes closed but not things in front of me but things from the side, like that second sight was from different side, not the way I was standing. Dunno what it was. |

Absolutely. While the "vibration" stage is typically used as a marker by many for AP/OBE potential - the "seeing through my closed eyes" experience is an even better guideline for me. If you experience this, perform an exit method, like the rope method (imagine climbing a rope up out of your body), or imagine yourself rocking back and forth. In general just imagine some sensation of movement in one or multiple directions. |
