If you believe yourself to have been awake, then you are more likely to take the experience at face value and believe yourself to have literally left your physical body in some sort of mental or "astral" body floating around in the "real" physical world. If, on the other hand, you think of the experience as a dream, then you are likely to identify the OBE body as a dream body image and the environment of the experience as a dream world. |
I just thought of the above when I read your post and sifted through my StumbleUpon stumbles to find it
Otherwise, while not very experienced myself (only once -- floated a bit above my body and then crash-landed back in, and didn't try it again,) I heard that projection is more a matter of tuning in to where an energy-self is, which frequently occupies the body but not always... could be wandering elsewhere... mental (used in remote viewing), etheric (what you meant to do), or astral, an OBE can shift between them. So maybe you just tuned in a different frequency?
On the other hand if it was a dream, it was a lucid one meaning you could consider it's a dream and take action from there, and maybe meditate into the etheric (I googled jinn science, and found it defined etheric projection as an energy-body moving through time, so maybe try to make the lucid dream involve time travel? Just guessing now.)
