Thread: Can someone please help explain what I experienced. It wasn't a lucid dream - possibly an A.P.

Title change? I don't know what you mean by that.

By copy I mean imagine a house but instead of stone or wood it was made of a colored light. It was as if the light was trying to mimic reality because I was trying to give it shape. So the best it could do was to create the images out of the light. People places and things did not appear "real" they appeared like shapes of colored light. Again I interpret this as my own mind trying to create a world that I know but using this base material as material. I think this is what happened because I remember trying to create a reality out of it.

I don't know what I experienced, that is why I am asking people for their suggestions or experiences.

Ah, it must be my eyes playing tricks on me. ''Also, in regard to the title''* then.

It still sounds like a dream-world to me. The astral plane is supposedly real-world places in a reality which isn't real-world, per se. Surely it would all be laid out for you in all its splendour because it wouldn't need to try to form? - it's already there, people only gain entry into it. In dreams, the world must form beforehand, and it sounds like you were caught up in that formation or something along those lines (which, again, could explain your inability to control things), only this time it was fairly whacked up (for lack of a better phrase).
