It was dark when I went to bed and When I awoke (in this OBE as it seemed) I did not turn my light on, yet it was bright in my room. I just remember walking and looking around for a little bit. The next thing I remember is trying to move my hands and open my eyes, but I couldn't. I remember thinking to myself: "am I blind? Am I dead?" it was quite scary. Finally, somehow, I was able to open my eyes and wake my body. It was so strange.
O ya, during this experience i could not see my arms or legs or any other part of my body. Almost as if my body wasn't there.
What do you make out of this? I'd like to get someones opinion on it. I'm not very knowledgable about this kind of thing. Although I'm very interested in this subject.

The problematic thing I think about when reading OBE stories like this is the possibility of it simply being a full out lucid dream. It's difficult to determine how many of these experiences are true, mind asleep body asleep dreams or mind awake, body asleep astral projections/OBEs. I guess it's entirely dependent on how you feel about it, and how real it was to you. Did it feel like a dream or something more?
Note: it's worth noting that some, less skeptical practitioners than me might assert that since our consciousness partially disconnects from us every night when we sleep, sometimes your consciousness will be vibrated completely out of your body while you sleep, sometimes without you even realizing its happening.
