This is from about a year ago, i haven't practiced astral projection/lucid dreaming for a long time because i just lost interest, i was getting criticized by all my friends for doing it. But my half-brother just came back and he is staying with me. I just found out that he has been practicing astral projection for a long time and he has been using the NEW method energy works stuff. I just started on the NEW method and it really works in opening your energy pathways and such. But anyway

ON TO THE DREAM

Okay..i didn't even know i was dreaming at the time..that's how into this i was.. I was walking around my house and i did this method i had read on a website where you pull on your finger and if it stretches your dreaming and you will essentially astral project. So i did it and my body went limp..(this was in the dream still, remember i didn't know i was dreaming) Then i was in a dark place and i felt my astral body getting pulled from my physical body really harshly, it was so intense.

I was then in some desert, there were random dead trees and some really huge animal, cant remember what it was. I was like omg..where am i..i was freaking out..i had finally done it..got outside my body..i think i had astral projected to..somewhere...i don't know where though...I have heard of your astral guides bring you to places for reasons unknown and i think this is what mine had done. Anyway..i started exploring and i decided to fly to get a better view..so i flew up into the air with ease and starting going straight ahead when i saw these..spheres..idk..they had people..well...more like idk..little movies in them....I asked myself what they were..i then heard a voice from out of know where say..Bad dreams...i then proceeded to fall from the sky..i couldn't stop myself..i landed on the ground and proceeded to run. I started freaking out a little bit..didn't know what that was. So i tried to get back into my body..i felt myself go into my real body..but i was still where i was..like..i was in my body but i wasn't..I tried to open my eyes but the wouldn't open..they were stuck shut. I was so scared...i then basically forced my eyes open and sat straight up..

That's it..i was pretty like wowed that i had had such an awesome experience..i wanted to try to get your alls opinions on what exactly happened to me...and maybe where i went

I realize that this is pretty much a lucid dream forum..i just wanted to post this here to get your opinions on what this was. Some people say that it was just a lucid dream while others think that i actually astral projected
