Lucid Dream or OBE/projection?

[violet84]

it could have been a lucid dream. The best way to test it is to try and do it again.Realising you are dreaming is the key thing in lucid dreaming, set yourself a task to do for the next time you realise you are in a dream and if you manage to do it i think you can safely say that you can lucid dream.

Thanks! Although, it's easier said than done! I also don't always remember my dreams. But, I'll practice, 'cause now I really wanna project!

Thanks again!

Okay, I think I projected, or had a lucid dream. I was surprised by this since I gave up on trying to project more than a month ago. (This happened last night, around 11:00pm or so.) Here it goes:

After being awake the whole night, and until around 2:00pm, I went to sleep. (This is not unusual, it's summer!) Anyhow, I had this long dream, which I won't bore you with, and then the dream started to repeat. In the second version, I didn't escape from the people that were running after me, like in the first version, and I found myself hiding behind something on a street (it was daytime). Then I decided to make a run for it, but one of the people who chased me was really close, and then he fell. He reached out his hand to grab me, but then I realized that I was in a dream, and felt some kind of "power" in my fists, and then I found myself floating/flying a few meters from the street floor. (It partially felt like my fists were pulling me.) Then, I saw this woman, and I said: "Hecate?" With a warm smile, the woman replied, "We'll see." Then I said, "Are you Hecate?" And right after I said that, everything turned black, and I felt a falling sensation (again, I felt my fists more than anything), and then I woke up. I somehow felt good and relaxed, like I've accomplished something.

NOTE: Hecate is a pre-Greek/Greek Goddess, and this woman I saw looked nothing like her. This woman almost looked like Martha Stewart. (In hairstyle and clothes, at least.)

So, was this a simple lucid dream, or a projection into the astral? Please comment, 'cause I want to hear what you think about all this.
