I don’t know for certain if they were OBEs or not, but yes they do sound like they are. Those are the kinds of things that really happen with spontaneous OBEs.
In the last one, are you saying you were actually physically awake and actually used the toilet? I’d say that since you describe a weird fuzzy feeling in your forehead, it’s likely that you actually got up physically while still being in an altered state and that’s why you felt the weird sensation in your head. I don’t see why it’s not possible to then also be able to “see nonphysically” even though you were physically walking. I don’t know what the lights could have meant. Maybe they were just dreamlike and didn’t really mean anything, but if you were physically awake then I definitely think what you saw was nonphysical.
A good example I can give you was that when I was around 19 or 20 and living with my boyfriend, I once awoke too quickly from a nightmare, and even though I was standing by the bedside with my eyes open and able to talk, I was still dreaming. It took my boyfriend a long time to get me to actually wake up out of it. I was aware of him and was interacting with him, not just sleepwalking. I was fully consciously awake and aware. And I understood that he was trying to get me to wake up, but I felt I was already awake and kept telling him I was. I could see bright, red, shiny blood all over my side of the bed and of course I was out of my mind with terror because he could not see it. He kept putting his hands in it showing me there’s nothing there, but what I saw was him putting his hands in the blood!
When I finally did fully wake up, the only thing that changed for me was that the blood magically disappeared. There was no change in my conscious awareness, so that was a really freaky experience because I never felt like “Oh thank God I’m awake now”. I just couldn’t see the blood anymore. Very weird and very scary.
So because of that, I can definitely see how it’s possible to still be in a sleep/dream state while thinking you’re awake and able to walk to the bathroom. I would think it has to do with waking up too quickly and the brain hasn’t fully transitioned out of its dream state yet.
The last thing you said was, do you think it just sounds like a hallucination? No I doubt it was a hallucination. Drugs, mental illness, medical conditions, or even extreme fatigue or lack of sleep can cause hallucinations, but absent of those things it’s not possible to just sometimes hallucinate for no reason.
I think your brain was still in an altered state and you were either still dreaming, or you saw something nonphysical.
