Is this astral projection?

I was not my dream-self or my world-self, I simply experienced the dream as if from God's perspective, or a birds-eye POV. This concept in itself disorients me, it's something I've never experienced before.

My dream-self stood next to my world-self asleep in my bed. My world-self lay entangled over myself, arms misconstrued across my body, neck bent and back hunched. Why do I lay so uncomfortably and so complicatedly overlaid?

My dream-self is to the left of my world-body sleeping in my bed. My dream-self reaches down, attentively if you will, and says without words she see's pain. A vague idea again -- was mental pain portrayed through my sleeping position, was my world-self suffering in my sleep? My dream-self repositions the sleeping body sideways across my Queen mattress.

I slowly awake and find myself lying exactly how my dream-self positioned me within my dream.

Some things for clarification:
-as I wrote this out, I realized it's more as if there were two versions of me, not a dreaming me and an asleep me. It's more like I had a twin who watched me as I slept than a "dream-self". It's hard to grasp.

-I had a brief period of coming-to before I woke up. I was aware that I had just dreamt, but I was not able to control my dream. It was a foggy state between sleep and reality. I was able to analyze my dream, then wake up.

-This "twin" replica of me, the one who watched the other sleep, I'd like to say she spoke to me, telling me I was hurting myself but I can't be sure if it was words I heard or something I felt.

That's an interesting experience. Unfortunately I really don't know what it was : ( And I am not sure if a "dream" self or any other non-physical body can actually move items in physical world, the way you describe your physical body being moved. That makes me think that even if it was very real feeling experience, it was more of a dream. Maybe OBE, I dunno, haha. Maybe it was "only" your mind making observation by saying that you are in pain, because your mind is you and it knows you. Maybe that's what was on your mind, even if you didn't really realize it.

I'm sorry I'm of no help. Lots of times it's really hard if not impossible to tell what the experience was. Enjoy it, keep thinking about it and maybe it will happen again and it will offer you some explanation.

I agree with Gab. Sounds like a dream. Never heard of a "dream" self being able to manipulate physical objects. With Astral Projection, however, I have heard of people projecting to the physical plane and visiting somewhere on earth, say a place in France, and afterwards there being reports of a ghost sighting in that area. But the physical manipulation of an object on our plane of existence via a projection from the dream world seems quite far-fetched, even for Astral Travel.
