I was napping (had to be up late the night before), and in what I believe was to be a pre-REM state (the dream was pretty thoughtlike until the relevent event happened), I was laying in bed (this should have tipped me off, IRL I was laying on the couch)… and… I was doing WILD, and felt the strong vibrations and a high-pitched roaring sound, and was able to sit up out of my laying body. I layed back down into my body (my dad was calling), stood up, and just as an experiment before I went to go help him with whatever he wanted I tried stepping forward out of my body (worked as well), and I woke up shortly after that.
The sensations were really intense and vivid, it felt almost exactly like the 2 “real” WILD vibrations I’ve had before (neither led to an actual WILD though), plus the roaring sound, which I never had before.
I believe OBEs are just dreams, so if I hadn’t woken up I would have become lucid. Though I wouldn’t be aware that when I was originally falling asleep, that part wasn’t real. If you follow me.
Amusing way to LD, for sure.
(By the way, I was also attempting to WILD as I went to sleep into that real nap)
