Well this morning was a little insane!!! I woke up at 5:30 (naturally) and since it was light out and a nice morning, I flipped over on my back. I never sleep on my back because I easily, easily get SP when I do. How easily? Well, before I could even get comfortable I was in SP. It kinda ticked my off cos I didn’t even have my arms in position, but I was unable to move them. Plus I wanted to listen to my hemi-sync MP3. So after I broke out, I grabbed my iPod and listened to the 12 minute demo track twice, which chilled me out. My mind was still very active so I was worried I wouldn’t fall back asleep since I’m so used to getting up at 5:50 - 6:30. Well I did, and had weird dreams (I’ll post in DJ later) but never realized I was dreaming until the third one. I knew I was dreaming because I was doing something I’d never do in real life. This woke me up into SP with mad sensations of floating all over the place. (I’ve been reading a lot on AP/OBE) So it felt like my arms were breaking free and floating, and sometimes my legs were pointed at the ceiling. I didn’t open my eyes though. 
Anyway, was positive my brother came in and placed a book by my bed (Old Hag kinda thing… a presence) and then left. I stopped the vibes because of his presence, and drifted back into dreaming shortly after. I woke up yet again in the same thing, and thought I heard people upstairs. I thought I heard my brother outside in the hall so stopped the vibes (I can do this at will) until he was gone. This SP must have lasted 5 minutes, because I was trying to “AP” as I’d read. I tried focusing on a spot to launch my body, rolling out, etc.
Well, it worked. I imagined rolling out and lo and behold, I did. It was very real. I hit the cement floor and looked at it. I instantly thought of finding the white cord people are talkign about so I looked back, but my bed was empty. Therefore, I thought I was actually awake and hopped back into bed, into another dream. Woke up again in an FA (my room was different) realized it, woke up in SP and tried again to jump out. This time I was kicking and flailing my floating legs, but to no avail. By then it was 8:30, so I just got out of bed [and did several, several reality checks!!!]
This experience has given my some insight though. I’m a seasoned SPer, so it was cool to be so calm throughout it all. But the “OBE”: There’s so much debate going on with it and AP. I think that it really is an LD but you just dream of something (your astral body, spirit, whatever) leaving the body. After all, when you’re lucid, you can imagine whatever you like (to some degree) and if you’re WILD-ing and all about OBE, then you’re gonna think “Ooo, now I can just jump/roll out!” so they do, but it’s just a dream. But if you’re against OBE and you WILD, you’ll fall into a normal lucid dream. (is that an oxy-moron?) I think it’s all in the head and that the OBEs when the person wants or tries to leave is really just an LD because they are thinking so much about it. If they are convinced they are OBE-ing they limit their abilities because they don’t believe it’s a dream, they think it’s real. That’s what happened with my when I rolled out, I thought it was a real OBE, but then thought it was real life so I just hopped back into bed.
Heh, I don’t know how much sense that makes. It’s kinda hard to explain really. 
If it’s not clear enough I’ll try to reword it. I just wanted to get it posted.
). I think you are pretty right in your conclusion that when you believe there will be an OBE, that you will have an experience that mimics it perfectly, because our brain can imagine anything we expect in a dream. To test this you should try in your next “OBE” to walk around your room and touch objects there. Senses like touch will work just as fine as IRL, which is amazing (to me). It makes the experience look so increadibly OBE-ish, that I can understand why a majority of people who want to believe it’s real, will hardly change their minds.
