I was all ready to go. Sent my kid off to school at 7 am then got back into bed and closed my eyes to begin.

Right off the bat I could feel it start. My body got very light and tingly and I felt a lifting sensation.

Then loud construction trucks started to run up and down my street and after weeks of doing nothing, began to work on my road again. Right in front of my house.

I grabbed some ear plugs and turned up Enigma to try to block out the noise.

I tried several times to re-engage a dream state but the noise was too distracting. I came close but nothing.

I had been lying on my back the whole time so I decided to switch positions and try my side.

Eventually I just fell asleep. Which was actually a good thing. Because I woke back up and tried again.

I had been watching a video about OOB experiences and decided I would attempt it since I wasn't really able to fall asleep.

I remember falling asleep again and "waking up" but realized this was a false awakening of sorts so I tested it out and "rolled" out of my bed and onto the floor.

I don't recall seeing my body on the bed but I was standing up at this point and in my own room.

I walked into the hallway but the house was different. Older style, different paint, obviously not my house.

But it was a three family house like mine. I remember trying to float up through the ceiling and I may have been blocked. I don't remember if I had to actually take the stairs or not.

I did make it up to the third floor apartment, which was not the actual one in my house.

I also remember doing at least one "reality check" where I looked in the mirror and saw a very distorted image. Where normally I would be scared of such an image, I remember laughing because it confirmed I was dreaming.

The whole thing didn't last very long and I woke back up shortly after that in my bed.

It was a "dirty and unclear" dream state. Everything was fuzzy and I remember feeling that the house was not "clean". Not messy, just dirty.

It was a very strange experience all in all. One one hand I am glad that for the second day in a row I was able to have something happen. But at the same time upset because it started off to be a major LD with full awareness and control but ended up being a very minor episode because of all the noise.

They are supposed to be working on my road off and on again this week. I am still going to try but will have to find a way to compensate for the noise better than ear plugs and Enigma.
