Hi,
I’d be interested to know your thoughts on an experience I had recently. Whilst snoozing in the afternoon I dreamed that I was astral projecting during which I was enjoying flying around etc. A short time later as I was becoming increasingly self-aware or lucid or conscious if you will, I remembered the many instructions in AP/OBE books in not thinking about one’s body to help prolong the experience. Unfortunately, in me thinking about not thinking about my body I inadvertently was drawn back to it and remember slowly re-joining. However.. I then ‘awoke’ and saw the room around me quite vividly only to then become aware that I was in fact still dreaming! At this point I became quite alarmed and fought my consciousness back to actual awakeness.
Has anyone else experienced this? What does it mean with regard to my learning controlled AP? Is it a common phenomenon?
Your thoughts and insights would be greatly appreciated.
With kind regards,
Dan.
