Thread: i did it! but have questions

astral projecting? maybe..

I heard a loud alarm noise which i instantly recognized as my alarm clock ringing. so I was floating outside my house looking at my body sleeping, and I decided I could manipulate my body's movements through my dream. I saw my arms move to turn off the alarm clock..

in reality, the alarm clock is much farther in my room so I have to get up to reach it. The alarm clock never rang. Also i didn't realize in the dream, but my house was aligned all wrong so my room wasn't where it was supposed to be.

So that's not astral projection, it's just like... an illusion of astral projection, right?

also.. i still can't believe i WILDed like it was nothing! i had so much trouble with it before, and this time it just happened right as I was falling asleep at my normal bedtime with no sleep deprivation or anything. I thought during the early stages of sleep there isn't any REM activity so usually there's no dreams? will i be able to replicate this again or is this more of a once in a blue moon event?
