LD, OBE, or what?

[ivantam92]

Hi to everyone, today i had a strange experience. I must say that i have been trying to AP por a while but havent yet gotten there. I was sleeping and in the middle of a dream i was having i realized that i was dreaming. After that i could do whatever i wanted, i even used kame hame ha. While i was at that point, strangely i was aware of my physical body. Or maybe it wasnt, i dont know, the thing is that i felt as i was feeling both the dream body and my physical body at the same time, and that my physical body was moving as i moved my dream body. Eventually i opened my eyes and it all ended. I must say that before i fell asleep before having that dream i felt strong vibrations, which decreased when i realized i was having them. Eventually i was asleep.I wanted someone to tell me what do you think my experience was.
I wanted also to comment on something that has been happening lately to me. When i am dreaming, just before waking up, i am searching for something in my dream, for example searching for my seat. After that, i find what i am looking and wake up. Does someone know something about this?
Thanks a lot and sorry for my english as it is not my native language.

Definatly sounds like a lucid dream. I read this article about a spectrum of consciousness when you dream

Dreaming. Lucid dreaming. Astral projection.

Dreaming you have some level on consciousness because you are able to remember but as far as you know you think it's real.

Lucid dreaming are dreams that you can control ad manipulate to a certain point but is still going in some direction that is unknown.

As where astral projection is full consciousness of what you are doing. Fully aware that you are in dream world or whatever you like to call it. Everything is at your disposal. Where you go, what you do, and how you do it.

Everything is considered and OBE.

As for the searching thing... Maybe you found what your looking for and no longer need to dream. Maybe some details and someone could read it for you but I can't.

Hi Ivan,
Searching in a dream,
To dream that you are searching for something tells you of the need to find something that is missing or needed in your life. The dream may be similar to your search for love, spiritual enlightenment, peace or even a solution to a problem.
To dream that you found something suggests that you are coming into contact with some aspect of your psyche or subconscious. You are recognizing a part of yourself that was previously hidden or undeveloped. Alternatively, it represents change.

To dream that you found someone indicates that you are identifying new facets of a relationship. You may be taking the relationship to a new level and/or direction. The dream may also be a metaphor for finding yourself.
The experience you had and becoming lucid is a big step forwards. It appears you only need to work on waking yourself up more. The exit already is happening. You need to become more aware when this happens again.
Rub your hands together and feel the heat generated. Imagine then covered in juice from some fruit and you can smell it. Demand clarity by shouting too. This will make everything around you come very clear.
You were in the non physical having an experience. Although you didn't realise it at the time, working on becoming more aware is all you need to do.
Was this your first experience like this?

Hi Szaxx,
Thanks for your response. As for your question on wether it was my first experience of that kind, i must say that as far as i remember yes. I have a vague memory of having some sort of LD sometime in the past, but the only one i clearly remember is that one. In that dream, at a point, i could literally do whatever i wanted, as i said in my last post.
As for the searching part, it happened only recently. I did everytime found what i was searching for, and at that time woke up.
Apart from that experience i think i am close of having a full OVE, since on most of my last attempts i usually experience something new, that i havent experienced before.
If it doesnt bother you i will point out the most remarcable of the things that i have experienced (allways remembering that i could never achieve a full OVE so far).
They are as follows:
1. On 90 % of my attempts i reach the point in which random images start to appear (with my eyes closed). They vary from random abstract shapes to landscapes or events (for example one time i was seeing 2 persons having a conversation). Usually when i notice the images they dissapear.

2. There was one time that i saw a street from above and something walking through the street. The image didnt dissapear that time. I rather started to feel that i was fastly going to the scene, and at the same time lost all feelings of my body (that time i got scared and started moving, which after a few tries i managed and zapped back to my room, which i now regret seeing as there was actually nothing to fear).

3. The other day when i was trying to AP at a point i lost awareness and after i recovered it i realized that for a while i have been having a conversation with something. This was not in spoken words. It was exactly as the subtitles in a movie. I had a thought and white words appeard in front of me answering my thought. After i had a new thought and again, the words answered me. I dunno if i was talking with some sort of guide or what.

4. Yesterday i had yet another strange and totally new experience. I was lying in bed with my eyes closed trying to AP when i saw a flash of light. For a second, the whole blackness turned white. At the same time that that happened, i heard a clear and loud noise that i cant describe.

5. On my last attempts i usually feel as though i am floating or going towards something.

6. A few days ago i was trying to AP and i fall asleep. Hours after that i woke up and remembered that after waking up before opening my eyes or even moving is a great time to try. So i stayed there with my eyes closed. Lots of visuals moving much faster than usual started to appear. The problem was that i woke up in a position were my arm was beneath my head and my arm started to hurt due to the position. At a point i couldt bear it and got up.  

7. In a few of my last attempts i started to feel strong vibrations in my body, which i could raise if i wanted. I realized that i was having them from the beggining of the vibrations and that was when i increased them with my thought, however, after that i though to myself: Oh i am having the vibrations. And after that they started to decrease.

Thank you a lot for reading my long post, and i am hoping you can give me your oppinion.

I think you are well on your way. Don't change a thing as it is clearly working.

I had a chuckle with 3, I've done this myself in the 70's during my many experiments with communication.
I used bright yellow large letters knowing tiny ones tend to get messed up and become unreadable.
The rest show me that you may find this link interesting. I made it for practitioners like yourself. You are at the point in learning where it will be useful to you. 
Have a read, any questions, just ask.
