be lucid and the thin line between dreaming and AP

this morning I woke up to really heavy vibrations and I was having problems keeping my eyes open. When I did have them sort of open I saw purple elephant-man people with spears drawn on the wall. There was also two millenium items (something from the cartoon Yu-gi-oh) hanging on wall. There was the millenium ring ( that's in the show) and under it was the millenium hangbag (that one's not in the show).  Of course at the time this all made perfect sense.
Anyway, the vibrations were getting intense so I tried focusing on falling hoping that I could get out of my body. I ended going back into a dream where I was working at the dump moving bails of hay.
I'm still trying to figure if it was all a dream or if I was really almost projecting. Who would have thought this would be all so complicated?

In my opinion, which seems to change a lot after each experience that I have, there are two KEY things to projecting:

1) Maintain a high level of consciouss awareness
2) Having strong control over your thoughts

If you only have a high level of awareness but you can't control your thoughts, then you experience something like a lucid dream, where you see lots of wierd things like purple elephant people.  You're aware of them, but things are so dreamlike that you become confused.

Consequently, if you have strong control of your thoughts but you can't maintain a high level of awareness, you may wake up in the morning with only bits and pieces of  memory recall of some OBE that you had.  You may remember vibrations and that's it.  Or you may remember talking to someone and nothing more.

So you see, the balance is to have BOTH a strong degree of awarenenss AND a good handle on your thoughts/imagination.

I feel you were crossing the threshold and agree with Jeff_Mash's statement.  

Last night I woke up in a dream (which instantly dissappeared?) and was aware of only powerful energetic sensations and infinite space around me?  I couldn't see?  It was strange and very exciting.  I was so awake that I had to consiously keep my eyes closed, really it felt like I had to really force them closed, and at the same time I focused on the energy sensations that instantly expanded when my thought arose.  I was really amazed at how the sensations reacted to my thoughts.  I thought of "up"  and I went flying, like a reverse rollercoaster?  Anyway, I don't know if this is complicated or not.  I guess relatively it is, but it seems to come with time, attention, and patience.  I'm not sure what will happen next (as this all happenned for the first time last night) but I am very excited.  

It may be valuable to note that this happened after my fiance helped me to anylze the dream I had the night before.  I have been devoting increasing amounts of time and energy to remember and understand my dreams, which all focus around change it seems?  

Here's a link to it if you're curious or want to share anything.
