something. At a certain wonderful moment, I hit upon the
idea that I was dreaming, and decided to try to exit (M.R.:
wrong action and no deepening). I lay on the ground and
began to exit, imagining how I was separating from the body.
During the transition, I nearly was thrown out of the phase
due to tension and fear. I was nonetheless successful. I saw
myself at a doorway after having crawled through a wall. It
was like coming out of a bog. The sensation of separating was
very vivid.
I suddenly noticed a person there. He helped me to get
completely out (M.R.: no plan of action). He introduced
himself, and started telling me some particulars about the
world that I had landed in (I don't recall well what he said, as
I was looking around the whole time and couldn't tear my
eyes off my surroundings - I was spellbound). In the end, I
became worried about my body, and decided that it was time
to return back (M.R.: wrong logic). Returning was like a
nightmare. There were voices, sounds, and strange
sensations. I had the feeling that time had stood still... I was
so happy upon waking up that I couldn't sleep for the rest of
the night.

One night I was dreaming of travelling in a car with a
friend and thought she was driving way too fast and then I
got bizarre rushing sensations that enveloped my entire
physical body and it felt like I was being turned inside out.
The sensations stopped, and then I was fully awake and
completely aware and I opened my eyes. I was in my
bedroom lying on my back and my body had a blue hue or
tint to it (M.R.: no separation and deepening). I felt my arms
moving around and I realized what had happened and
panicked. I asked to go back to my body and then with a
slight tingling I opened my eyes for real (M.R.: wrong action)
and I was actually lying on my side facing my partner.
Then I knew the experience was real.
