Hey guys, well i really have no other way to title this one besides the title i gave it. Reason being is i've NEVER had an experience quite like this. It's hard to describe but really the only way i CAN describe it is i had a projection where i was not only conscious in the Astral but in the Physical as well, both at the same time. Really the best way to share this experience is to give a play by play so that's what i'm gonna TRY and do, well without further ado!
<Laid down in bed closed my eyes> Hmmm i'm sinking into sleep rather fast! This is good, i feel fully conscious. <Body begins to numb> Ahh, my mind is unusually still tonight! Perfect, focus on my intention. <Vibrations begin> Ahhhh here we go perfect! <Faces and figures start making their appearence> Don't care....focus.... <Instantly i find myself floating besides the Earth> Annnnd i'm out, but not where i want to be, this is too....physical....i need to raise my vibration <i Notice i can feel my bed against my back> Interesting! <Awareness shifts back to the body> Hmmm boring, i'm back in my body, shift back out. <Awareness shifts back into Astral back into space> That's better, now where was i? That's right, shift deeper.
Here's where things get a bit weird. i was completely conscious in both the physical and astral the entire experience...matter of fact, i first laid down at 10 13...the experience didnt end until 10 58. But here's the aggravating part. SO i go about my projection, consciously make decisions and do things of my own accord then i decide i better get back (for what i'm not sure, i only remember making the decision and actually shifting back), i consciously shift my awareness back into my body annnnnnnnnnnd GONE. Everything from the Astral Experience was gone BUT every memory from the physical still remained INTACT! I remember everything that happened from the physical side of the experience but i couldnt even begin to tell you what happened in the Astral BUT while i was in the Astral everything from my physical experiences and my Astral were crystal clear.
Now it would be one thing if i was a bit hazy from the experience but i can remember being incredibly conscious on BOTH sides. It's just when i returned to the physical my astral memory dumped almost completely (Except for the beginning, returning to my body and small "Still picture" memories i couldn't even begin to dissect myself much less explain them.) It was like as soon as i began to shift back into physical reality (Because i remember making the conscious decision to shift and actually shifting back in) the memories were gone. I dont know, i'm bummed yet intrigued at the same time. It was a new experience for me and i guess really that's all that counts right? Anyone ever have this happen to them? I look forward to your input!!

This is rather a simply explanation, When you astral project for your first time, You are suppose to jump and jump back in, I would say if you stay longer than 10 seconds that your memory of the projection will be gone. It is like a door shutting down slowly. You need to make it through the door it before it closes. When it closes no memory can be made.
Lostlight,
You think too much. :-)
Lostlight, just learn to "observe and report" what you observing for now. It will all make sense in the future.
It was a "new experience" for you and I bet it caught your attention, which in itself might have been the "primary goal"! :wink:
You had nothing wierd at all. This duality is normal. You can be in two places simultaneously, it taxes the mind initially but you leatn to do it automatically.
As you decided to return you placed your conciousness directly in the physical and then woke yourself. That is the mistake made many times in the early days. All you'll recall will be snippets of the experience if anything at all.
What you should have done is to bring your awareness back still inside concious projected body that was way out above the physical. This would have kept the memory intact as you travelled back to your sleeping body in this form constantly thinking about the experience as you return. A gentle re-entry still keeping the mind active with the experience gained would have given far more recall.
Switching from the projected to the physical then waking left the memory download behind in the projected body. You switched it off the instant you put your awareness in the physical. Then waking from the physical body gave the physical the priority and once awake the link was broken along with the memories you left behind.
Its akin to data in computer RAM, switch off and it's lost.
