The Everlasting Question

About Ago I Was At my friends house. I had fell asleep on his couch waiting for my parents. Later after a couple of hours my friend came to wake me up. Now get this, my eyes opened slightly, and i could see my friend tapping my arm and hear him saying my name. i tried to move ( I already knew it happens enough for me to know ) and i couldn't move my arms or legs. Of course it was sleep paralasis like i said it happens enough for me to know. often people say they're lucid when this happens but ive come to think otherwise. After a while I was able to move but by then his parents had came downstairs, my parents had come in and everyone was asking what happened. My friend said it looked like I was dead. And thats when I thought about a simple question im sure everyone that knows about astral projection has asked themselves or others.

When We Have OBE's, Or Even Sleep Paralasis Moments Have We Entered A Sort Of Coma Or Dead Like State?:?

I don't think it's a coma like state. Because to my knowledge we aren't aware during a coma. As far as a dead like state goes, nobody knows.

If a coma is anything like sleep paralysis, it must be the worst thing in the world. Could you imagine being stuck in that state for days, or even years? I like to think it is more like a deep sleep. I hope I never find out.
