Wow last night I had a first, I had slept from around 8pm to 2am and was up from 2-6am I went back to sleep at 6am and my alarm was set for 7am....  at some point after I fell asleep I dreamt that I was in a bed (not my bed) and had all the feelings of an obe, the high pitched sound, the flashing etc and wham I was out and i maintained control sorta... I felt like hmmm ok like I was moving prety fast and was controlling what i was doing but i didnt have full control, everything was so vivid like an obe would be and while I was doing this I was convinced I was having an obe, I felt that I was flying over a street full of cars and that i was flying next to a red truck, i  controled myself and toldmyself i wanted to be inside the truck and I started to enter it by passing through the front windshield  then all of a sudden the driver noticed me and started freaking out I think he slammed on his breaks which made me go somewhere else.... then I went into some kind of building now this part seemed more like a dream... in the building i saw a beautiful woman, I started kissing her and then another girl who I did know came up to me also, I gave her a kiss then I woke up.... wham     After waking the experience felt like a lucid dream  but I never had a lucid dream that I thought was an obe at first....  and the whole thing with the guy and the truck seemed more real then a dream....    I described this as best I could...   has anyone ever had anything like this before

im the opposite, I feel although lucid dreams can be fun and insightful I want to learn how to have full control over my obe's. I'd rather explore the astral, i mean the possiablities are endless.
