That is quite common; for success to happen spontaneously after trying so hard. The work pays off in the end.

Congratulations clarkxkent... now you can be Superman.

Alright Im home so here it is ...

I suppose I was in the middle of a dream. (Oh, and by the way Ive had lucid dreams before and trust me, this experience is NOT a lucid dream)
But anyways I was in the middle of a lucid dream. I was at the end of the hallway in my house looking into my family room.I closed my eyes and thought about teleporting into the family room. I closed my eyes and opened them and...you guessed it. I was in the family room. When this happenend I relized that I was no longer Lucid dreaming. I looked in the family room and saw my mom getting clothes for my brother for school from the laundry room and saw my brother walking around.I tried to move,but it felt I was paralyzed. I tried my hardest to move but it hurt. After a second I finally got it. While I was walking around in my kitchen, I was so excited that I had finally AP after 4 months of practice! After a couple of minutes I finally remembered one of the main reasons why I wanted to AP so bad...flying. So I went out to by back yard and jumped into the air and was floating! I messed around a bit for a while,But If I went too high or I went outta my back yard,I fell...still dont get that part.(Also when I was flying there was green orb-like things around me) After messing around with flying I then remembered something else I wanted to do...travel the world. Well since I couldent fly there becuase I couldent get outta my backyard, I decided to teleport somewhere. At first thought, I thhought of the great wall of China. I thought of it,closed my eyes,opened them, but I was still there. I decided to start smaller. I then rememberd my I promised my friend Tyler I would vist him at his house(No,he cant Astral project) Thought of his house,closed my eyes,opened them,nothing. So I decided to think of HIM. Thought of him,closed my eyes,opened them,nothing. Suddenly he was right beside me. At first thought I thought I had somehow teleported him next to me. But then I rememberd reading somewhere that Spirits take on the form of someone you are familar with. I talked to him and he seemed like he knew me because he said "I cant believe you finally did it!" We talked some more, I flew and then I remembered that I had to wake up to go to school in the next few minutes. I asked him "Is my mom able to wake me up, or do I have to go back to my own body?"  He dident directly reply but he said "look your glowing". I looked at where he was pointing...at my belly. It was glowing insanley and I couldent really see but I figured it was the chord that connects to your body. I then decided not to take a chance with my mom not being able to wake me up so I went back to my own body, regrettful that I couldent AP longer.

Thats the end! Trust me Im telling the truth, My friends think it was just a dream but I know it wasent. Plz ask me anything! Thanks for reading!

Trust you? Phaaaaa! Don't believe a word of it. Far too far-fetched..... 

The flying bit is very common for beginners... and sometimes for experienced explorers. I found I could fly instantaneously. But after a short while analysed it too much and spent a few months thinking I had lost the ability. This was because I believed I had lost the ability. Like Peter Pan... don't lose your happy thoughts or you'll fall. But in your case... don't think about what you are doing just do it instinctively.

I have different levels of the ability to fly. Sometimes I have to climb up into the sky... then glide down... sometimes I can fly like superman... sometimes I glide along the floor. It changes... maybe depending on my mood. I do experience a lot of gliding along the floor. Very often I navigate the terrain on all fours like a dog or I free-run... but it's a form of intense free running... being able to leap across buildings in massive bounds... a little bit like the Hulk. lol But this is me.

The glowing portions of your body is simply a metaphor of your own I'm sure. Although I imagine that someone may attribute this to the stomach Chakra. I know nothing of Chakras so I'll leave it at that.

If you spend too much time trying to compartmentalise your experiences into Lucid Dreams or astral projection you will get wrapped up in that specific belief and miss out. A Lucid dream is AP is a Lucid dream. It's all down to a level of focus.

Question... Why haven't you tried flying during your perceived 'Lucid Dreams'?

[clarkxkent]

Thanks for replying

Ah I dont know. Flying never really crossed my mind when I lucid dreams. Sounds wierd since I said ive always to fly but useally when I lucid dream I just talk to my friends at school lol. Dont ask me why 

Also do you have an explanation on why I couldent live my backyard? I could teleport and fly anywhere in my yard...just never outside of it.

Also I before I did it I woke up for a sec, looked out my window and saw the color of the sky...and guess what. When I was AP it was the same color! Some people might say That may be because of recent memory but I know I AP!

[Bedeekin]

Don't worry.. you don't need to constantly back yourself up and worry that we don't believe you. We're all in the same boat. 

"Also do you have an explanation on why I couldent live my backyard? I could teleport and fly anywhere in my yard...just never outside of it."

In a word... not really. It is common though. People sometimes find it difficult leaving their house. Or if they perceive themselves in a 'real time zone - this reality' OOBE then they can't get outside. I have never had the problem myself. I can only think it is expectation based. There is no reason why you can't... so maybe it's something not to worry about. After all... you probably weren't really in YOUR yard.

Amazing experience Clarkxkent. Congrats for your unexpected success.. lol. Thanks for sharing your experience.

A lot of things that seem to fail are based on your inherent beliefs. Any doubt at all and its gone. You need to be assertive with yourself. Ok you couldn't leave your back yard last time. Convince yourself its a one off and the next time BELIEVE its a one off, you CAN leave to go anywhere you want. Having a strong desire or intent to go somewhere, ideally you know well, is a massive push to being successful.
Visit physically, a location and see all of it, its smells, the sounds and if possible have something placed there that you have a connection to. It could be a memory or something you've made for a specific purpose. Even a picture or item you made. You could make something specifically to project to. While at this place physically memorise everything you can remember of the feelings about you when in your back yard. Imagine you're actually in your NP body right now. Imprint these feelings and the location well.
Next trip out you'll easilly get there.
