I'm confused too, were you dreaming or awake? |

Last night, I had a very strange experience, and I wanted your take on it. |

I was asleep when the tingling started happening. This tingling is what interrupted the dream. I wasn't thinking about being paralyzed, I just felt a very strong tingling all over the body, just before I found myself floating over my body. I was in a state of semi-sleep when all of this happened, because it was in the middle of the night, but it wasn't a dream. |

Ohhhh, ok that's a classic state or REM. |

Icy Rose, what a gloomy nick, but beautiful. |
|
A tendency towards OBE's? From one experience? |
|
I'm surprised that you are so indignant. Is it really so bad if Icy Rose has some natural easiness towards lucid dreaming? |

Actually it happens quite often, if you research it you will find thousands, if not more, stories about people who have had SP. The type of SP that you wake up with. It's when your mind wakes up all the way but your body hasn't yet. These people don't have them all the time just because they had them once, it's quite natural for people to only have one during a life time. |

I hoped that I made it clear that I don't think so either. It's comfortable to call a dream with a sensual entry an OBE, though. WILDs are different in that sense. |

Hey Icyrose, I have a question for you: What did your body look like when you were flotting above your real body? I had a similar experience and when I was flotting I looked at my body and I was made of some sort of filamentous, red, orange, yellow light that looked alive. Hard to describe. I want to compare our experience. |

That's the problem...once I tried to open my eyes, and saw those shapes, I got really scared, and drifted right back. I didn't have time to look at my body. But, if Arutad is right, and it is likely to happen again, I will definitely try to control it better, and look at my body. What did it feel like for you? |

Ahhhh, ok I thought you woke up and felt this. Thanx for clarifying both of you. |
|
I didn't do a "scientific research". I observed people, talked to various lucid dreamers, read LD-forums. |

Maybe you want to read journey out of the body from Robert A. Monroe. |

You'd have to be *extremely* open-minded, as he also describes in some of his later books how he met God in his OBEs |
