Thanks everyone.  

Will I become more able to conciously remember it? Because I know at the time I certainly said to myself "Ok im completely concious and awake." but at the moment it feels more like a dream.

I thought a projection would be with the clarity I have when Im awake. But at the moment I would describe it like the morning after your 21st birthday and no part of you is really all there. lol.  Either way its quite exciting!

I also find it interesting that my astral vision of myself was much younger than I am. It's also not the first time Ive seen myself like that in a dream.

Ok! So I've been trying to project awhile now. I finally achieved something this morning.

This morning I set several timers to wake me up. Which they did! However I didn't project then. Instead. I ended up falling asleep.Amidst a new dream, I was a well dressed and very fashionable asian woman. However I was riding on an old beginning of the century plane. Propeller, and two sets of wings. You know the type. Amidst my dream I realized I was dreaming. The pilot was insulting me. The insults I don't remember but I did reply "F--- Off, I'm dreaming anyways." then he said "Well I didn't like your body anyways!" Or something to that effect. Creepy.

I jumped off. Fell painlessly to the ground where I bounced several times untl I landed unscathed. Thats when I practiced flying and constantly bounced up and down with sudden drops. That's when I finally said "Ok. Im ready to project"

In the very  next moment I found myself in my body. The position I was in while I slept. on my stomach, head tilted down into my pillow. I could partially see. I could feel my breath steadily rolling out and brushing against the pillow and my skin. I didn't freak out because I knew I was not in control. I felt my body starting to wake up and told myself "Not yet. Stay asleep." At which point I grabbed my bed at the sides and began to push up. As I pulled out it was a brief experience where I could suddenly see everything had changed. I could see the flesh of my forehead as body and mind sepearated. I rolled back onto my knees, and looked at my body. It did not look like me as I do now. it looked like me as a young girl. pre-pubescent. Same hair color, and a lot of things. My hair was braided into pig tails which is a style I always liked, but I never had.

I was also wearing an older style of night gown. not the scant t-shirt and other unmentionable that I wear to bed these days. I thought to myself "I look pretty cute. Anyways. Im out now."

"First things first." I recalled posts about moving my hands. So I did. And then I said to myself as I stood up. I could feel my body on the ground. Seeing my flooring and I said "Ok, my vision. Please clear up" It did a little bit, but things were still fuzzy. I walked to my window. and I knew things were not the same as I am used to outside. Outside of my room was a bright sun and endless green field. In the physical realm there are actually several apartment complexes. but in recollection, it looked similar to how it would of prior to development of the area. I didn't even try to go through my bedroom door. It wasn't even a thought that occured. I thought to myself "Ok take me where I am nee-" Oh right. I remembered the posts I've read here. The shock of what occurred for some people. "No. Please don't I take  that back. I'll get out on my own"
I instead tried to push hand through my wall. I failed, and could see it wasn't going to be easy. this time,  I tried again and my fingers started to slide through the wall but got stuck there. I could see wave like patterns around them. And that's the last thing I remember. I think more occurred.  But I don't remember.

I know for sure it was a lucid dream, but I dont know if it was an actual projection. Would love some opinions. Either way its an amazing development for me since at the very least its my first LD.

After that,

Incredibly interesting!

We don't hear much about people meeting others in the Astral. It must be a really magnificent experience. To have that verification, to meet someone who's no where near you and then have similar accounts.

Very.. very interesting.

For my own scientific curiosity. Did you tell her any information that would have allowed her to find your posts here?

Interestingly my friend reached a similar place. I forget whether it was a dream or projection where he was always taken to the same place. Which immediately came under attack. It only stopped when he decided not to pick up a sword and to just not fight.

Agree with Xanth. I had a friend who could AP easily due to some injuries that left him with long periods of sleep. He started with defending himself from creatures of some sort. Then it became so bad that he was afraid to Project, and afraid to sleep. It so controlled him that he ended up attempting suicide because he believed it was the only way to escape it. What changed is when he finally started just walking away and not getting into fights.

quite simply what is your biggest goal or desire in the astral realms? to do what and why?

Spiritual growth.

I want to do my best to understand this world, and it's spirituallity. Or lack of.
I believe there are things we don't understand, and I can't begin to understand that without experiencing it myself.
What more scientific way than something you can see, and hear? I want to know the vastness of this universe, the capablities of my mind and consciousness. To see things I could not anywhere else.

You're so used to the concept of requiring a body in order to interact with anything.  This is a belief thrust upon you simply by being here in this physical reality and being human.

I don't have non-physical experiences where I "leave" my body.  I don't need them anymore.  I don't believe I'm a spirit *IN* a body...
I'm just consciousness.  Nothing more, nothing less.

Maybe so

My goal is to see that for myself.. To know for certain whether Im a concept of my body and physiology or consciousness that utilizes this body..

If OOBEs are.. all internal. Why is the method to induce them that we leave our bodies?

So many OBEs begin that way. Sometimes people do this on purpose, or it happens to them unconciously and then they wake up.
Why don't they begin in a different manner if they are not in some way or another occurring externally?

I'll preface my post here.. First post btw by saying I tried heavily to AP for sometime, and got no where with it. Save for, the unconcious times I stepped out.
After my attempts ceased, I believe I finally had one that quite remember.
It was brief, no longer than thirty seconds.
               I would say, I was probably moving out of my body and still hadn't quite come to, but I remember waking up, with a sort of floating sensation. Bright sun was shining, it was golden-esque in it's color! The scenery that painted before me was.. breath taking in it's view. It was a very bright green area, something similar to what you can see in forested areas of Colorado or Montana, on the right time of the year. Pine trees were off to the sides, in every direction, and there was a declining green slope down to vivid pool of water, that was extremely clear. Much clearer and cleaner than any pond in that environment would actually be. Right above the pond there was a rocky ledge that was had staggered rows of red and pink wild flowers.

         My initial thoughts were of the intense.. Peaceful feeling I got.. I rarely have had anything peaceful like that in my real life or dreams. Maybe when I dream something so great it couldn't be true, and just want to hold onto it for a bit. Anyways, as I came to I thought "Hey.. Im dieing. So this is what it's like to die? Doesn't seem so bad." A brief second later "OH RIGHT. IM DIEING. Not ready to yet, go back!" Experience ended. I think it ended with a crashing sensation. Although. Im not sure on that part, since I vividly remember this 'dream' and not what happened after it ended. I phrase it as dream since.. It didn't last very long, nor did my active thought inside of it. But at the same time, I can remember this dream so well, that I can still remember it years after it happened.
