Astral Projection?
Hi, Ive been seeing Lucid Dreams before I even discovered that there is actualy a section that its called "lucid dreaming" . Maybe I was 13years old the first time I saw a LD. Anyway... I could never really control my dreams until a year ago when I discovered websites about LD.
So, this dream is the last LD I ever seen, and it was a few months ago.
Before I slept I told to myself that when I get into a LD I will try to make a book appear in my hand then open it and read it. For many times I couldnt read what was inside the book, but in this last dream of mine I managed.
I was in a room and I realised that I was in a dream as well. So I tried to get more control first, then I tried to fly outside the window, so I started flying. While I was in the air, flying, I turn my head the other way and said that when I look at my hand I will see a book, so there it was. I opened the book but I couldnt read the content because the fonts were too small. So I closed the book and said that when I open it again the fonts will be larger. And they were, So I could read. The content of this book had names of popular-famous people who died. Next to their name there was a short-story of something that they did in their life while they were still alive, but it was always something that no-person on earth actualy knew about.
I remember I read about this greek guy, his name is "Asimos" and some others but I dont recall their names now (I couldnt write my dream down because I was sleeping inside an army camp then).
So, after I did alot of reading and getting really impressed of what I just read, I closed the book and I was still flying, so I looked down to see where I was.
And it was a town, and it was kind of dark, it wasnt day and it wasnt a night either, there was just enough light to see. And I really really felt that I was somewhere else than on Earth! And I knew that my body was sleeping on a bed on planet earth but I felt that I was somewhere else. in another dimention or something.
And I saw down below me while I was flying and I saw All the "dead" people that I just read in the book. They were walking through the streets of this quite and weird town. I saw elvis hehe, and then I saw Jesus wearing normal clothes (not like the ones in the church pictures), and he looked different alot, but i knew it was jesus, and he was walking with his wife and 2 kids, and he saw me flying, smiled, and then continued walking. After a while I became scared because I thought "what if I dont make it back to my body and stay trapped in this dimention-world?". So I quickly tried to find someplace to go and get back to my bed(in the real life). And I found this building which was old and abandomed, and I got inside. Inside the building it was really dark, and it was supposed to be an old school. There were some people walking inside, but I couldnt see who they were. I found this room that it had beds inside and one table. I lied on the table the same exact way that I was lying on my bed in the real life. And then I said to my self that Now im going to awake. And I did, in the exact same position.
It was a scary Lucid dream, In the beginning it was really nice, but then it became scary because I thought that I would never come back to the real life.
And by the way, during the dream I just wrote, I would stop many times to regain control of my lucid dream and then continue. It was the first time that a lucid dream did not fade away nor I woke up. So it was the first time that I actualy stopped my lucid dream.
The dream lasted for about 30-40 minutes (In dream time, I dont know in the real time).
Can anyone please explain to me wether this was Astral Projection or not?
Thanks!
George

A veery interesting story but sorry i don't even know wo astral projection is! :oops:
Sorry!

Sounds like just a dream to me.
And I've used that same method to wake up when I wanted, heh.

I very much doubt it was AP especially if you had to stabalise it.
-
You saw elvis and jesus...mmm i think it was a dream.

Ha! I'd say seeing Elvis and Jesus would constitute bonafide astral projection!
No, seriously, I doubt it would qualify as astral projection - at least from what I've read about AP (can't say I've experienced it personally). LD and AP are almost certainly related phenomena, however...

Here is a little tip to be able to tell if you are astral projecting or not...
Does it feel exactly the way you feel right now? The only way you would know you were actually still in bed is you would be able to change things. Other than that everything would be just as though you are awake.
