In this dream, I was on a facility tour, and I introduced myself to a manager. I told him my name and where I was from. He smiled then said, "Yes, the alarms went off when you arrived, and they announced it over the PA." He smiled a little harder, and I found this a wee bit funny, then the dream ended. I did not wake up physically, but I was consciously alert. In the waking world it was 10:00 Am. I felt some slight vibrations, and I figured I would try an OBE exit. I have never done this so late in the morning, but it does not hurt to try, so I went for it! I jumped out of bed, but my butt caught the edge of my bed, and I was stuck, so I pulled really hard with my stomach muscles and slowly rose up to my feet. I did the traditional removal of my CPAP mask and blanket, but my vision was yellowish and really dull. I reached around my face, and all was clear, but I wanted to know what the heck was causing my dull vision. My first instinct was to leave the bedroom, and get as far away from my body as possible, so as not to get sucked back in. It was 10:00 Am, and I was expecting to see a well-lit hallway, but my vision was still dull and yellowish, so I headed off to the bathroom to take a look in the mirror. To my surprise, my eyes were closed! How could this be? I tried to open them, but my eyelids just would not open, so I raised my hands up to pull my eyelids open with my fingers, but my fingers passed right through my face, and I could not feel anything! I then heard my daughter laughing behind me, so I turned around to give her a hug, but I could not see her because my vision was so crappy. I decided to go take a look in her bedroom to see if she was there. Her bedroom was even darker then the hallway because the window blind was closed. In an effort to find her I crawled around on her bed feeling under the covers to see if she was there, but no luck. I ended up back in my bed and I saw a quick hypnagogic image of my daughter's face before I woke. She was smiling ear to ear due to the hilarious situation.

In one of my confusing cycles of false awakenings, there was one that stood out from the rest. I opened my eyes to see my room. I was lying on my back. Usually I sleep on my side with my leg
