I was dreaming. . . and i dreamed a pretty wierd dream with my mom and everyone else etc. but before that,i dreamed i was standing outside, I can't remember why though. . . it's to hard. and while i was standing outside in my dream it was foggy. when i woke up that morning. it was also foggy, could this be a case of astral projection without knowing it?

Having an astral projection without knowing you're having one is called a "dream".

In your particular case you didn't seem to realize that you were nonphysical, so unfortunately, no... It wasn't a projection.
Sorry. :/

Well IMO it was an astral projection, from which you downloaded a part of the memory from. Hence you remember only small parts of it. We all project each night, knowingly or unknowingly when we wake up.

Ummmm... Isn't knowing you're dreaming called lucid dreaming?

To most people who work with these labels, yes.

There's a reason I don't use those labels anymore. They're too divisive and have only ever added bias and belief to something that humans really don't know anything about.

I simply call them all "projections"... they're projections of varying levels of awareness, to be more exact.

Bedeekin made a great post about it here: http://www.astralpulse.com/forums/welcome_to_out_of_body_experiences/whats_the_difference_between_a_lucid_dream_and_an_obe-t39418.0.html;msg322379#msg322379

When you realize that you are dreaming is called lucid dreaming.

Actually, I have had a few dreams when I knew I was dreaming and they weren't Lucid... I just knew I was dreaming.

There is an absolute qualitative change in the dream following a transgression to Lucid. It is unmistakable. Also to be lucid.. one must also be aware of their real physical life and that they are lying in bed having the experience. To be objective.

I think many people hand out ''lucidity" as their quality of dream when it is really just very vivid.
