Natural Awakenings/Micro Awakenings Question

[rapterbone]

I recently stumbled upon the Practical Guidebook, and I have found some very helpful information in it. However, I am not really understand the natural awakenings after returning to bed. When I wake up in the middle of the night and go back to bed, I never really take notice to any awakenings. I tried to have an OBE last night, but I couldn't find any natural awakenings to attempt phase cycles with. It's funny though, I managed to dream about having an OBE! In my dream, it seemed pretty real, but I couldn't transmute or anything. I merely looked in the mirror, saw a weird image of myself, and disappeared. I ended up in a schoolroom telling my peers on what happened. None of my reality checks worked though . Can anyone give an explanation and tips on natural awakenings?
