I never felt like I was out of my body....just flying in my dream.

I have, during a dream, realized I was dreaming. I was just standing there.....aware it was all a dream Some people were about to attack me. I turned to them and said boldly, "What are you going to do?" They realized I knew they were just part of my dream...and ran away. I have had that several times...being aware of dreaming while I am dreaming.

I guess the closest I have been to being out of my body was a vision in the night. When it was over, I was laying in bed with my eyes open.
