Thread: Hello! My experience!

Alright let me start by saying I found this site because of my bizarre lucid experience. I work a lot and ended up working 8 more hours due to a no show so to say I was exhausted is an understatement.
Anyways it usually takes me awhile to fall asleep even when I'm very tired. I was laying on my bed with my eyes closed getting frustrated that I wasn't slipping into sleep. My brain felt like it was going a mile a minute but my body felt heavy.
I decided I was tired of waiting and in my sleep deprivation mentally tried to ease myself out of my body thinking this would trigger a dream hence sleep!!
Well it actually worked, I was aware of my body on my bed but I was on the outside. I could manipulate any aspect but occasionally I would snap back into my body and I could feel my body but I would just push myself back out and continue to try and push myself further from my body but the further I tried the more I snapped back. Eventually I snapped awake... It was the most real feeling dream I have ever had and it was so bizarre I remember every vivid detail everything was intensified and surreal I'm actually still shaken up by it!!
What are your guys thoughts?

Welcome Zazzle86! That is a cool experience you had, a pre bed wild (wake induced lucid dream). Sometimes it happens spontaneously for some people.
