I read this on an astral travel forum:-

Many (astral journeys) end with a feeling of suddenly "popping" or "snapping" and sometimes a "pulling" back into their bodies; some even report being "sucked back" into physical form.
Now, its it just me, or does this sound an awful lot like waking up?

But it gets me thinking. When Im lucid I often find that going from asleep to awake isn't an on off thing.

The way I can best describe it, is it almost feels like being at the bottom of a pool and "surfacing" into my body.

Does anyone else get where I'm coming from?

Would be good to read other posters descriptions of what they experience.
