What stepping stone could this experience be???

Yeah, you were probably lucid when you started to fly. The mind usually cant handle flying whitout being lucid so you were most likly semi-conscious and had like clairvoiant abilities at that moment. This happens all the time with me. I start to wake up in a dream early in the morning. And my "third eye" is still quite active and I can see behind my eyelids or start to remote view something. Could have been that. It seems to me like the third eye and "dream vision" use the same nerve channel as the normal eyes do.

Well, the flying part is actually quite simple. I have had flying dreams a LOt, and am used to them. In times in the past I would love the flying, but never know it was a dream until I woke. Only recently, after I started questioning myself a lot "is this a dream?" did my flying dreams go lucid so much ((which isn't all a good thing because my lucid dreams never last long.))

I noticed this happens a lot when people misc fall asleep.  For me it happens when I am in front of the computer late at night.  I'll pass out and as soon as I figure out that some thing odd is happening I wake up.  

But I noted that this kind of thing may help those of us who are having trouble projecting.  The biggest part about it is knowing what it feels like and re-creating the feeling.  Most don't realize what these little journeys are when we misc doze off like that.  

I think the biggest key is that often our minds are so pre-occupied at the time this happens.  Most don't mean to fall asleep and thier brain is trying so hard to focus on what your trying to do that if "forgets" about the rest of the body.  

You inadvertantly do what is suggest so often here.  Not focusing on the body.

What I really wonder about is those hands. I really wonder what I saw, or did I not see them and just thought I did. Anyone catch my meaning?

Yesterday morning I woke up around 4:30, tired and groggy because I wanted  sleep but I had to get a project going. So I got up and started planning for it, and somewhere along the way, I dozzed off again. Unintentionally, I did something very close to an interrupted sleep pattern.
I had a dream, though what it was about is kind of murky. But at one point, I remember I was flying in the dream.
Now, my mind has been programmed to go Lucid as soon as I start flying. And because I can't handle lucid very well, I snapped out of that one pretty fast and got plopped into a state of sleep paralysis. I put my "hands" in front of me, but I couldn't see them. I thought I was having another one of those "feel them there, but don't see them" days. If I "moved" them back and fourth, the vision I "saw" before me would distort, and look a bit funky.
Then I did something I never really tried to do. Instead of trying to project, I concentrated on just feeling the vibrations and willing them to increase.
When I opened my "eyes" again, I started into a pair of really chalky hands. I wiggled them a bit, but didn't get much further, because I mind told me it had had enough and wanted to wake the heck up.


Could this mean something, did I dream it, was it a lucid, a projection of something....some kind???
