Am I Awake or Not?

My OBE's started when I was 15. I had only experienced the vibrational state a few times, but it was the scariest thing that had ever happened to me. I have had 10 or more experiences since then. I have been able to control and sometimes induce these experiences after reading a book called, "Adventures Beyond The Body."
 
I learned that I definitely do not need to be afraid when this happens. My past few OBE's have been pretty amazing. I have not been able to venture very far away from my house, but I can tell that I am getting better at it. I will tell about my latest experience, and I also have a couple questions I would like to ask that I will put at the end.
 
I was trying to take a nap while all these little kids were at my house making a ton of noise. I had a dream that I was on the computer  and all of the sudden this window appeared that was downloading some sort of virus. I tried to restart my computer by  hitting Ctrl+Alt+Delete. I was hitting it a bunch of times and I  remember all of the sudden being in my bed and I was trying to push those keys on my pillow. I realized what I was doing and thought about what a strange dream I had just had (or maybe I realized I was in a dream because it did not make sense).
 
I decided to try to go back to sleep.
 
Right as I felt myself fall asleep I felt the vibrations. I could still hear the kids yelling and I thought this would disrupt the experience. I decided to get up and go tell them to be quiet.  I looked at myself in the mirror before I went out the door. I walked  into the livingroom and my little brother was sitting on the couch. I asked him where the kids were and he told me they were down the hallway.

I started to walk towards the hallway and my brother said,  ""I wouldn't go back there if I were you."" I decided not to and as I was walking back to my room I noticed how weird I felt. I started to think that maybe I was not even really awake and I was out of body. I  felt very light and bouncy. I thought that maybe I should try to do something crazy since everything was clear and I would move well (usually when I am OB I cannot walk or see that well unless I ask for clarity.) I stood with my back to a wall and I jumped as high as I could. I was able to stay in the air long enough to tilt my body forward so I was parallel to the floor.

I then pushed myself off of the wall with my feet and glided forward in the air. I started to slow way down and everything started to get blurry. Then part of a poster  in my room next to my bed went across my vision. I focused on the image and everything kinda morphed into focus as the wall in my room and I realized I was actually awake.

1. Is it weird that it sometimes seems like I wake up from an OBE without even opening my eyes?

2. Is it possible to see non-phisical beings that resemble people who are still alive?
