everything seemed blurred and dreamy...
christ, long time no see u on MSN!! btw, what you experienced is very likely to be an astral projection, because when the astral self leaves the body the air around it is usually foggy, heavy, and thick. and astral projection usually occurs like this: the astral self floats horizontally above the physical body when asleep, then starts to turn perpendicular to the floor.
This is another example:

Try this:
Imagine a ball (any color that relaxes u) infront of your forehead, about 2 metres away. Focus on this ball with your eyes closed as it moves farther and farther away. Soon you'll feel yourself slip into a trance-like state where all your thoughts will vanish and the only thing that stays in ur mind would be the ball. Using my technique, you'll be able to enter the hypnagogic state much quicker, and your mind will not wander. Sometimes you can even enter the vibrational stage with this.
