Hi there,
I sought out a forum where I might be able to gain some insight into whether this was Astral Projection or not. I have, in the past, had several lucid dreams where I am able to realizing I'm dreaming and then control the dream. E.g: I'm falling, and then say to myself "its a dream - you are in control" and then I can turn the fall into a beautiful flight or something.
However - this was different:
2 nights ago I felt/saw myself walking down the hallway of our house, I was dragging my right foot a bit. I was very surprised and figured that I had been sleep walking for the first time ever. Then I realized that I was still asleep, or at least my body was, as I found myself about 5 feet above my body. I saw myself sleeping there, on my stomach. I became afraid and wanted to get back into my body, but there was a feeling of being very heavy, and not being able to snap back in because of the position I was in. I had to somehow turn my 'astral body?' over to get into my physical body. It freaked me out a little because I felt like I wasn't in control (whereas in lucid dreaming I feel in control).
I know this wasn't 'just' a dream.
I've been reading a lot of non-duality books lately - perhaps blowing my mind a little too much!
Of course, now I'm awake, I want to do it again and see if I can go somewhere. I'm sure if I'd had the balls I could have done it that night, but I honestly feared that I might be dead if I didn't get back into my body.
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Sarah
