last night i couldn't sleep. i went to bed around 2:30am and woke up at about 6:00am.. then i fell back to sleep around 7 or something and i FINALLY experienced an 'out of body' dream. like, i caused it to happen. i was lucid dreaming (i could feel it), and i had left music playing and i could hear the music playing... and then i remember just telling myself to disconnect from my body and i did. all of the sudden i'm above myself, watching myself sleep!!! i loved the feeling. it felt like total release, just a radiation of bright energy, vivid, lively. very cool. it only lasted a short while. i had never experienced this before. i hope i get to experience it again one night.
Not exactly out of body but mentally dissociated from the recognizable sensations of physical body. The feeling of physical liberation is still an embodied aspect.
