That probably would have worked quite well. The quickest and easiest way to
leave the lucid dream or projection is to focus on your physical body. I
usually try *not* to think too strongly about it when I am in this state. If I
become too grounded in physical activities in the projection, or focus my
attention on the thought of my body lying down in the bed (or wherever I was
when I projected), then I will be pulled back to a normal waking state.
An example from my journal:
===
I then had to strain to pull myself up, arm over arm, and all of a sudden
totally lost my lock on the state! The strain of moving my arms was too much,
and in doing so I actually moved my physical arm on the bed, which immediately
broke the perceptual state...
===
So, yes, I think that if you had laid down in the same position as your "real"
body and simply thought of it concretely, that you would have been pulled back.
Usually the more difficult thing is to stay out... ;-)
