2nd projection possibly....?

[milk]

Hey, I think I might have had my second projection last night from a lucid dream. I was sleeping over at my girlfriends house after a kind of long night, so I was extremely tired, so I fell asleep right away. Ok, it was very weird, I was in the dream or whatever, I think it was like something in Spain or something. And, I was doing the normal dream things, like being scared, happy, but all kind of fake dream feelings if you know what I mean, they aren't like...real, and for some reason, my dream self started thinking about projection. And I was like... well, what if this was just a dream? Then I started thinking like... what am I doing in Spain? And then I was like.... THIS IS A DREAM! YES! So I started running around... and I'm sure this was a lucid dream, because I was just like yelling at people like... I"M DREAMING! They all just kind of looked at me, haha, if my memory is correct. But then, everything kind of faded in and out, and I found myself back in the lucid state in my girlfriends house somewhere.
         I think I was in her basement, and remembered I was dreaming, I started doing all the stuff I tried to do during my first projection, like jumping off of walls, and just experiencing no gravity. I think I went outside and flew around, went to houses and jumped off, and fun stuff like  that. I then went back into the lucid state again.
        I ended up in some sort of spa/ like swimming pool place where like some voodoo doctor ran it. I was started to get worried that I wasn't projecting anymore because 1.) I had just regained consciousness again, and wondered if I had fallen asleep somewhere, and my girlfriend took me to a spa or something weird like that, and 2.) I kept trying to jump up and fly to the high dive, but I had normal physics again, so I was thinking that since I had just flown to the place, that something was going wrong. Well, I started running around like shouting at people like... what was going on.
       The atmosphere in the place was really soothing. Since it was a spa place, there were candles everywhere, and the warm baths made me feel really sleepy. Also, there was a sweet aroma of like fruity like bubble bath and soap, and everything was like very dim lighting. I walked up to some like lifeguard in a swimsuit, and regained consciousness again. I asked started to ask her if she knew if I was projecting... she just looked at me kind of like she obviously did, but had a little smile like I was a newbie at it, she was defiantly a higher energy. She then told me something really like philosophical that made me think, but I didn't really understand what she meant. I then had some feeling that she was my higher self so I asked "Are you my higher self or something?", and she said "No, not even close" she kind of laughed when she said it. She told me if I wanted to meet my higher self that I would have to do something with my arms, which was weird, and then I went into a different dream, still in the bath place, but it was a dream.
      So, just any comments would be appreciated, THANK YOU!

Oh yeah, I just wanted to add, that when I first became lucid, I had that same feeling when you have during when you project. All the projectors will know what I'm talking about. It's kind of like a relaxed loose feeling, kind of like your like melting rubber, but not physical, just how relaxed you would be if you were rubber and you were melting, lol. I also had that wave of joy of having that feeling, which is another sign that I was projecting/ lucid dreaming.

Nice one Tony - thanks for sharing.

My dream characters tend to "just look at me" when I tell them I'm dreaming.  It's as if they either don't believe me, or haven't a clue what I'm talking about!

The spa type place sounds lovely - I wonder if it was an attempt to get you to lose your lucidity - I'm sure I'd fall back to sleep immediately in those kind of relaxing surroundings.

I think lucid dreaming is projection.  Because you are so aware of your environment, you can interact with other characters (and some of them you're convinced are not part of "your" dream - i.e. they exist separately from you), and you can do things you would normally do during a projection.

I've started having more lucid dreams than ever - and I'm learning to explore and control them more, rather than go diving off somewhere.  It's good fun.

Keep at it Tony - sounds like you're doing great.
