Drunk Astral Experience

[AstralPrincess]

Hello, although I've went on this site every day for about a year & can honestly say I've read just about every post, I am new here (as in I barely became an actual member today) because for the first time I have a story worth questioning & worth sharing. I had a crazy dream last night...or this morning, I mean... most of it is blurry right now... but before I had this dream, my girlfriend woke up at 6:00am in the morning to go to school... (I live with my girlfriend) and I woke up too, to walk her out... then after I walked her out I went back up to my room to fall asleep. I remember saying, "Right now would be the perfect time to astral project... buttt I'm not tired enough" So I set myself in that mindset while I fell asleep without thinking anything of it or thinking anything could happen then I dreamed I awoke in my body (something I've been trying so hard to do, but kept failing, so I gave it a break) anyway I guess I fell asleep... maybe was in the dream state then just kind of dropped here in this state. Lying in my body while it's asleep. I immediately tried getting out of my body... but I had a bad night so I was scared of the bad energy... anyway I tried getting out of my body & it felt very weird & impossible... nothing was happening. I was laying there in bed... asleep & couldn't move... but I didn't actually feel myself in my body, nor did I feel the bed under me... I just know that I was in my body...maybe even in my body in my head... like in a dream body...maybe even 3D blackness... it didn't feel like normal sleep paralysis or normal vibrations... which is why I'm calling this a dream... but anyway it was impossible to move & I thought it would just be quick & over so I didn't think much of it... I just sort of stayed there though it was like someone had placed me in this position for practice for the real thing! That's what I'm thinking now anyway. So then I quickly remembered all of the lessons I've read about how to get out of your body... except, my favorite... the roll out method... okay, so I didn't remember all of them but I remembered some...and to be honest I'm not exactly sure which one I did first & which one got me out, in fact it's as if I did all of them first & all of them got me out... but I remembered calling for my spirit guide (I talk to my spirit guide a lot) and telling my spirit guide to please help me out... I also tried Robert Monroe's method where you stick one body part out of your body & look at it... I kept trying this...failing, then finally... I saw my arm...hand! It was a blurry mess but it worked for me! This whole time I'm probably the least bit lucid you could be in an astral experience, if you could indeed call it that. The best way I can find to describe this experience & my consciousness is that it's as if I was in the astral realm, not in a dream but I was DRUNK in the astral realm. So then I still couldn't get out & remembered other methods... like just simply imagining you're out of your body... or imagining you are some place.... so I imagined I was at my girlfriend's house...(we live together, moving back & fourth from her house to mine, if you care) & could immediately see her peach house looking just a little darker than normal.. but it was fine with me. So then I think I barely walked up to her front door, er well flew, glided... idk none of the above actually, I was just there. Then I felt some bad energy & I saw a creepy picture that of course must have meant something so I made sure I'd remember it... it was a picture of my girlfriend & I next to these 2 or 3 guys with pumpkin heads! I have to admit that was kind of creepy... but it was also extremely cool... I remember telling myself specifically to remember this picture because I wanted to put it on an album cover(I'm an aspiring singer). I don't remember if it was dark or light outside... or seeing anybody... but I sure tried... I went into her house & looked for her family but then I think I snapped out of this... & woke up.
So this astral/dream experience completely BAFFLES me because I've had dreams of astral projection before & I've also had an actual astral projection, vibrations & all 100% conscious before & I can tell you it felt like neither a dream NOR an astral projection.
It has both dream aspects & astral aspects... but at the end of the day I don't think it matters whether it was a dream or an astral projection, only that it was experience... & an awesome experience at that. So I would like to know anyone's input on this experience... do you think it was a dream with extreme astral qualities or an extremely non-lucid astral projection that I just needed to stare at my hand in order to gain full consciousness of the entire experience. Comparing this experience with a dream, I can say that this dream didn't SEEM incredibly real, rather it WAS incredibly real, everything that was happening was so... astral...& there were no dream aspects of my house, or my girlfriends house... no dream characters... just me... now comparing this with an astral projection... it didn't feel "even more real than waking life" ... I had no EXTREME vibrations that woke me out of my sleeping state into sleep paralysis & everything was out of focus. After writing all this I'm going to have to say it must have been an extremely non-lucid astral projection... Thoughts?

Hi and welcome to the Pulse AstralPrincess.
I think you've sorted this one out for yourself.
An RTZ projection where you didn't quite gain full awareness sounds correct.
It was an experience though and that's what counts. Lol
