Becoming aware of unconscious activity during sleep

[dingo]

Since I've started meditating (almost) every night in an attempt to get back into astral projection, I've started remembering pieces of what "I" have been doing while asleep. It's not dreams; it's like directly remembering the underlying "meaning" behind the dreams rather than looking for the meaning through symbols. One constant factor during these memories is that I'm always fully aware of my own nonphysical existences and the nature of nonphysical reality, as though all those blocked memories are released and reunited with me for a short duration. Does anybody else remember being in this state?

Some examples:

• One time while meditating, I fell asleep for about five minutes. When I woke up again, I had this memory of being surrounded by white light and being unaware of my human existence; I was just one conscious entity of many, in a void of light.
• One thing I've worried about a fair bit recently is my inability to feel love for people I know I care about (friends, family). I had an experience while asleep that was mixed with some dream symbolism, but essentially I was on a course with my aunty and a man she knew, and the course was designed to help you feel love. I remember having a three-way hug with these people and feeling fairly intense emotions and energy flowing through me but struggling to give it back.
• I had a dreamless night last week, and after waking I had a memory of being in a school or something, being taught something important and given advice.
• I remember a brief conversation I had with my "higher self," where my unconscious self was worried about my conscious self being tempted towards alcohol and drugs. Neither of them knew I would remember it (I think). There was a conclusion reached and another person was brought in to help me. I don't remember anything that was said though.
• Last night, in the middle of my sleep period, I became semi-conscious of where and what my unconscious self was doing. I was outside the Universe, helping some being(s), I think. The weirdest thing was I was filled with this unimaginably intense energy, and it was quite scary. Some knowledge passed between my unconscious and conscious selves, and I knew that returning to the physical in this state would literally cause some kind of explosion (spontaneous human combustion?). We had a hard time bringing me down, and eventually I returned to normal sleep.

There are many of these I can list. Some of them were recorded in my dream journal years ago, but I've never remembered as many as I have in the last two weeks.
