Lucid Dream becomes borderline with AP? not sure whats happening..

[Urantia]

I can't tell whether I was in the AP or not but it felt so real and different. I wont go to much detail about the dream i had but I'll give examples of feelings occurred.

This last month since I've been deeply desiring to AP, my dreams have become to real and vivid. Never in my life have I had this many dreams (or maybe just started noticing them while asleep probably with my third eye). Anyways, my dreams are sometimes unusual and scary but sometimes beautiful.. Each time the more horrific or beauty intensifies...i start realizing that I am in a dream and I notice myself. This has happen about 4 or 5 times...out of  all those times i usually wake up instantly when i realize that "wait this is a dream". Once or twice I was in a deep 3d blackness phase.

Now this last dream, (I was slightly drunk from the superbowl game party) was very pleasent. I Came to a part in my dream when I realized that it was a dream again. This time i didn't wake up, instead i thought wait a sec if this is a dream let me try to fly. That did not work. So i was like okay lets do something else...as i start trying to think i suddenly see my dream reality start tearing and fading apart..like the universe was ripping apart..White holes were tearing my dream apart. I am suddenly running up stairs towards the white holes (all the people in my dream now disappeared). Finlay the white holes turned into some INTENSE white light and felt like Ecstasy..I keep running to it full speed. Then all I remember was this Metallic pole was right in front of me..but my body was like floating now it was not in an upward postion like in my dream. My instinct was to climb and start pulling it up...I'm going up up up..At first i did not go up, It was like Lag in a video game..I tyred pushing didn't go..then tryed again and slowly but "laggy" I went up the pole. Then 3D Blackness...after that I see my body in front me in my bed were i went to sleep. I am now at least 6 to 7 feet above my body, I felt so light..like no weight. Then BOOM I fall straight down right back into my body and wake up.

Now i was like Oh crap that was awesome! let me call my friend and tell him what just happened, I remember having a conversion on the phone and everything, then i go to my room and seeing my grandmother there..(this is unusual and she is never on my bed) I tap her and say grandma what are you doing here. She looks at me and says "who's there" like i was some ghost. I start repeating myself to her and she does not hear me. I'm like WTF? am i in the AP still after I just talk to my friend and stuff, as soon i start touching her and getting louder..I wake up.

Does the AP sometimes feel like a dream? because i cannot tell what just happen..I have a feeling I did AP because I have never saw myself on the bed before like that levitating. But then after all I thought i was Awake, having just talking to my friend and seeing my grandma and everything. So strange but it felt like a borderline thing...

do people get confuse easily with the AP and dreams? do they sometimes collide and occur during projections?

Is this normal for begginers? or does it happen to everyone?

I have to say, I'm always getting confused as to 'where' I actually am due to all the variations.  If I experience the separation itself first, then I usually assume that I'm having an OBE but then I'll float downstairs and talk to my mum wondering if she'll talk back to me, which she does and then I'm left completely baffled.  Someone said on another forum 'It's all about your level of awareness'.  I guess if you feel completely aware, then it would be at the OBE end of the scale and the other end being a dream that just flows on like a film without any awareness whatsoever.  I have many lucid dreams and probably 1 OBE every week or so but there's always those little questions that never seem to be answered properly, though its those that keep me hooked on the subject.
