Thank you - yes, I'm absolutely fine.
It occurred from within a vivid dream I was having during a nap. While astral travel is something I have been interested in trying, it was the furthest thing from my mind that day. I just wanted a nap.
The whole incident was amazing even though I only made it as far as maybe the edge of my couch. My cat, who always sleeps on my stomach when I nap, never budged from her spot, and yet I (my soul/spirit) had moved to where it was basically sitting on my own lap, I guess. Had I literally sat up, the cat would’ve jumped off of me. She remained in place the whole time, snoozing away and missing all of the excitement.
Meanwhile, I’m like, “I can’t believe this is actually happening…”
I saw something hiding under the throw-pillows on the other end of the couch that looked like a gorilla's hairy arm, and I remembered more seasoned astral-enthusiasts saying that one might encounter some nefarious entities at the initial stages. I wasn't afraid, but I decided it wouldn’t hurt to pray (much like one would decide it wouldn’t hurt to grab their umbrella when they saw the rain coming down outside). I started saying the 'Hail Mary' – even though I haven't said that prayer in eons. I returned to my body immediately after that. Then, I just lay there, thinking, “I did it. I actually
did it!”
I’m still picking my jaw up off the floor over it…
ETA: I've had dreams, and I've had lucid dreams. This was neither of those. I literally felt myself peeling away from my body...
