Thread: OBE confusion and help

To start, I know this forum is about lucid dreaming which I have achieved many times. But recently I've become interested in Out of Bodies, or Astral projection (After watching Insidious). To date I believe I have achieved two OBE's but that's where the confusion starts.

1st time- The first time was a couple night after watching I was thinking about thinking about it and decided I would give it a try but using my WILD technique. It worked I got to a point that I felt heavy and remembered the feeling I had got when wanting to WILD, which influenced me to roll over which I did. After doing so I open my eyes and find myself on the floor success? I started to freak out and my breathing became rapid and heavy and I took off running out of my room. When I did I found myself in a room which resembled a Legend of Zelda Dungeon, I was seeing things that looked like energy balls and a giant rat( I thought of a sword and pulled on out and attacked it). The whole time running and then I get pulled back into my body and wake up. Here's my concern could this have been nothing but a lucid dream that I miss took as an OBE? I saw myself laying in bed but could that not have been something I just conjured up?

2nd time- I went though the whole process, rolled over, got up and looked at myself. This time I was more calm about it. I started to scream lights on which worked after a while and the lights came on but the color of the atmosphere seemed very different but it was my room none the less. I went through my living room and since its been a few night, I have gaps in my memory but I remember flying in a city that I didn't recognize. Here's where my concern comes in on this one. I started thinking to myself could I loose lucidity in an obe? and suddenly the whole experience seemed as if I were playing GTA San andreas for a while before I regained the ability to do anything again.

As much as I want an OBE I don't mind if it wasn't I enjoyed the experience either way I just want more info on what was going on. Thank you and sorry for taking up so much time with my peice. I'm a very descriptive person.
