Lucid dreaming or Astral projecting?

[Danny_Boy]

Hello The Long Road,
    It Sounds like you started off in a dream/Lucid Dream, have you been watching "Ground Hog Day" I haven't encountered waking up in a different dream as many times as you say you did, it only used to happen a few times with me.  It is very interesting you managed to stay in the dream for such a long time, My Lucid Dreams are not very long but i have multiple ones, I have had very detailed Lucid Dreams and I have experienced pain and sadness I once woke up crying which is silly because I'm not a child.  I am not very familiar with Atral Projecting so I can't really tell you about that.  Jumping off a cliff or tall building in a Lucid Dream would normally wake me up or send me into and OBE. Sorry I can not be more helpful but it was interesting to read what you had written, good luck.

I have had quite the experience!  Although I am happy to write about it now, I want to say I was in hell!  I am hoping someone can enlighten me as to what happened.  I am not sure I was lucid dreaming, or astral projecting.  

   Basically, it started out as a normal dream.  It was incredibly detailed.  The dream and details are irrelevant really.  Anyways, something happens (memory is fading as we speak) and I realize it's a dream!  So I am happy.  And of course I start having fun.  I run around and cause chaos doing all the things we can't do in real life.  

   For a while this works for me and I am in heaven.  But then it goes downhill after I start getting sex from some girl.  She turns into a demon and hurts my genetalia and I feel excruciating pain.  I eventually get away and the dream changes.  

        I am somewhere else.  Not knowing what
to do, I just play the part in the dream and take only small control.  I am at a restaurant eating.  It was so funny to go through the motions of ordering, talking to my dream mom, noticing a girl flirting with me;  seeing a million things going on at once wondering how a dream could ever be so detailed.  But after some time I go tired of being caged up and not having fun.  So off I go again causing havoc and eventually going down the sex route, cuz
hey, it's dream, right?

   Well, it happens again, I get hurt by a demon who looked like a beautiful girl.  So I am chased.  And the dream world changes from scene to scene.  Eventually I stop being chased and am smack in another dream "play."  This time I am tired of it and scared.  I am scared I will never wake up again.  I think I have died or something in real life. So I try my ultimate technique to leave a dream; one I created as a child to escape terrible nightmares.  In my dream I get in a ball and cover my eyes.  But oh!  Nothing is happening. And then damn I am attacked!  I FEEL it.  This is ridicuculous!

   Scene changes, new place, new people, new dream?  So I try killing myself.  I jump off cliffs, run in front of cars, get people to kill me.  But I always wake up into a new dream.  This must have happened at least 30-50 times.  I have dream on top of dream on top of dream on of of dream.  I remember crying and telling everyone I wanted to go home.

   I remember using my "OPEN your eyes!"  Technique by closing my eyes in the dream world and opening then up hard and slowly as if peeling open my real eyes.  And after about 15-30 more dream changes, it finally worked.  I woke up and have never been so happy to be alive.

   Now I am sorry for the length of this.   But I am trying to get an answers here.  What happened to me?  Was I dreaming or astral projecting?  The places I experienced were detailed beyond any dreams I have ever had.  People were talking living, things were moving. So much was going on and it would warp into different things as I went on; the Alice in Wonderland effect.  I also experienced feelings of pain, hot, cold.  I was lucidthe entire time and could not leave no matter what I did, it was so scary.  I almost fear of going to this place when I die because it can go from fun to deadly scary so fast.  

Thanks for your help!
