    Obe

    I don't remember much of last night. Again, I was distracted and not focused on dreaming lucidly, although I did ponder it as I fell asleep.

    I had one of my out of body experience type things. Sometimes, while asleep, even though I am not dreaming I will instinctively "sit up" out of my body and begin an OBE.

    I was not able to easily fully free myself from my body, this time - for whatever reason. But I WAS able to see - in the past, I've always been blind - although I wasn't able to fully open my eyes. I was quite aware that this was a form of dream, although I was unable to control its course. I stumbled around my dream-room, half-blind and unable to control my limbs very well at all or free myself from my blanket, which I felt like I was entangled in.

    I realized that this wasn't working well and lay back down, attempting to visualize and possibly break out of the OBE into a regular lucid dream. I also attempted to do a scene change to sky, which didn't work.
    Unfortunately, I lost lucidity.

    I know that this wasn't a misadventure with sleep paralysis because I've gotten very good at differentiating. When I woke up, my bed and bedroom were unmussed despite the fact that in my OBE/dream, I had completely wrecked my bedroom and knocked/thrown stuff everywhere. Unless I then cleaned them up in my sleep... lol.

    I was woken up by my smoke alarm chirping. I had to get up and change the battery. While I did so, I tried to ponder the dreams I had, but I couldn't recall any of them. It was frustrating. My dream recall seriously hinges on how stressed and distracted I am.

      Sorry, I had to laugh at the thought, what if anybody saw us as we stumble through our bedrooms, half-blind, not in control of our movements, tangled up in a blanket.

      Next time if you can't see, take of your sunglasses. Or put your hands in front of your face and "see them". When you see your hands, everything around you will come into view as well.

      Try yelling "awareness now" "clarity now".

      Thank you for your description how you 'just sit up' by itself on your bed. I will start intending to do so and directing my muscles to do so. happy travels

      Thanks.
      It's very odd, and something I've always done. I'll be asleep and somewhere in the back of my head, I'll realize that it's alright to sit up out of my body now. The sensation of my dream-self parting with my physical body reminds me a lot of the sensation of static cling when you pull two piece of fabric apart that are stuck together... or of pulling a window cling off of a window.
