My AP or LD last night

[4everaspirit]

I think you guys are going to love hearing this experience!

I still haven't gotten a hang of discerning between sometimes AP an lucid dreaming. I've had APs that turn more lucid or fade in an out so I could never tell f they were real.

This time I have a high feeling it might have just been a strong LD but it could have been an AP based on the circumstances, scenary, and people I met.

All I remember was sitting in my family's office room thinking that I wasn't out of my body yet and that I'd go completely numb and let go to leave. It didn't take me that long to feel like I was able to move my consciousness around. So I was already either APing and had skipped the exit process (sometimes I do and I'll wake up hovering above my bed) or I was lucid dreaming about AP and had like a lucid dreamception of sorts lol.
Anyway the coolest part of this was I left my house, was able to go through our side door windows, and saw the most gorgeous of colors. Trees had butterfly leaves, the sky was various bright hue colors. Things weren't super clear though even though I was trying to see them clearly, but I've had that problem too after directly leaving my body. I was hovering and flying as my main mode of travel. Usually a problem with AP I have is that I can't stay out long enough. I tried to keep things very null though, like I wasn't focusing too hard on anything so that I wouldn't end the experience.
I don't remember whole scenes of what happened when. I wish I did. I know if it's an AP im usually supposed to remember all of it, some people do and they stay out for what feels like days.

Anyway the segments I remember were that I knew I had wanted to travel to new scenary, I never have left far from my house and I wanted to explore. I think I was able to to shift my attention to another scenary because I remember HUGE HUGE HUGE gorgeous, detailed island rocks all with flowing water beneath. I remember scaling or flying up the rocks. They were like god level gianormous and inspired a sense of awe. My clarity kind of came when looking at those so I could see all the details.

Another scenary came into my awareness and I was at a huge overlookout. There seemed to be other people there crying over the aweness of what they were seeing. I took a look at what they were seeing below. I couldn't even really describe what I saw. Something like trillions of cities below that came into contact with another element, I don't even know how to word that haha. I couldn't process it fully but I started to cry too.
I don't remember how or when but I ended up meeting up with two other people. One was more mexican ethnic, another was more asian. I remember we talked and talked but not about what. What I did remember was that I told the mexican girl that I'd like to travel to the place that KoiFresco had in his experience (except I had forgotten his name during this!) She seemed to be like yea yea I know what you are talking about, I can take you there. I thought oh wow really that would be amazing!! We grabbed each others' hands and the asian girl came too. I let her do the work and just kept numb in my desires. I felt like I was spinning around and around until I finally, felt sand beneath myself. I opened my eyes and saw that it WAS SAND but it was RAINBOW SAND!! The sand hills all had different colors. It was magical. Straight ahead was a type of viney jungle forest park with a boardwalk which we went through. I started talking more to my new friends telling them that I was a human back on earth, what were they? And they said yea human! The reason I doubt this being an AP was because if it was I likely would have seen other types of lifeforms or creatures not just humanlike forms.

Another scenary came into view, and it was another massive lanscape. Huge body of water that connected to a shining city way way out in the distance, that we were able to fly over. There looked to be oil rig companies below which I thought was weird. We went down and took a look at them. I remember engaging with some of the workers? there. On my way back through the jungly area my friends and I stopped to listen to two people. I got so bored listening I woke up. lol.

I thought it was interesting that last night would went to bed thinking I'd really like to meet some people during an AP so they could take me places. So did my mind just manifest that or was it something more?? I dunno, but not too long after I woke up fully I heard a soft woooooooosh sound next to me.

I don't know if I was speaking telepathically to people or not, I wasn't focusing on it. That's usually a clue too if you are APing or LDing. Overall the place wasn't like what KoiFresco had gone to (it was sort of a beach!), but it was still ridiculously amazing and gorgeous. I'll never forget that rainbow colored sand.

Hello! Well it seems like an LD eventually, but you started it as a physical initiated AP. I think if you think of your body, it can ruin the time span. I can spend days in my LDs. Of course a Lucid Dream is AP too, but we like to think about AP as something which I can do directly from the physical without blackout. I'm working on it still. I'm practicing phasing but as I know it is not recommended to feel some kind of exit stuff. To tell the truth in my LDs there were lots of cases when I gained huge awareness and the "dream" didn't fade away. I'm experienced in feeling that my time is soon over and I need to wake up lol. Sometimes I felt my body in my bed too.

But it is great story! Everything is real, your imagination is too. The physical here is just "one" dimension for primary lessons. Try to reproduce it and it will be a great journey!

I like to think of AP's and LDs as seperate. With APs being more spiritual and LDs you just being super aware in the dream. I've had plenty of LD's where I wasn't thinking "oh I'm out of body now." or even if I did fly around I knew it wasn't quite an AP. It's possible though they are one in the same or are close to being.
