So yesterday I lay on the couch and tried to project. Lost conciousness of my physical body and my mind was wuite still an calm and then got the vibes, disorientation etc found myself at work with all of these people who i think were engineers from various fields all arguing in different languages. Russian, spanish, japanese i know it was at least those three, anyway i found myself scanning the situation looking at what was going on with our equipment and two russian gentlemen approached me and i somehow then understood russian and spoke it fluently haha but anyway i wound up taking the lead on the job. There was a problem with our oxygen lance, our electrode impedence, a problem with our hydraulics. So i dealt in three different languages and solved each problem through system checks, visual inspections and physical rundowns of of schematics, prints, and computer software. In reality I only speak english, I have minimum knowledge of our greater electrical and hydraulic systems on sight and can not even access the computer program that is the brain behind our operating systems here. So i'm chalking this up to a test of some sort in a projection. Or maybe it wasn't a projection?

I think you have it right in the title. A projection is a projection. It doesn't matter if it was a lucid dream to start, or some other state. They are not different places or realms. The only thing that really differs is how aware you are. In projection type experiences you have a pretty high awareness, and can often bring back the memories after the fact clearly. That is all "projection" means- that you were in an aware state experiencing reality somewhere out of your normal physical surroundings. Note that this doesn't mean that projections happen outside of you, though.

People get hung up on whether they got there through a conscious exit, or a conscious attempt that found them unconscious through the transition. None of that matters really for anything but needless prestige. If you can get there every night through your method, or as often as you like, then you have as great a skill as anyone at it.

As humans we love to put things in boxes lol. It was a weird recall though. Usually if I have a vivid dream or lucid experience i wake up immediately recalling it. This one however I recalled like two hours later in great detail and was like how the heck did i forget it in the first place lol. Felt great to have the memory though! As far as that experience goes, in your experiences or anyone else that reads this for that matter, would this be an experience in the "training ground" again i'm trying not to put this in a box so much as i am trying to find the underlying signifigance of it. The only emotions i felt were frustration and satisfaction.

Haha... a good set of emotions to experience, especially in that order  :lol:
