It couldn't be a lucid dream because in lucid dreams you can control yourself perfectly and exactly like controling yourself on an OBE.
I would probably say that it was just a normal dream.
Sometimes I was trying to have an OBE but then I felt asleep and I could dream some dreams about astral projecting but in the end you know it was just a dream if you know you didn't control yourself well in it.

ok.  I wasn't clear on this.  I could control my actions, as in which directions to go, up or down, but I couldn't control what I saw, as is normal using imagination.  Also, I knew I wasn't asleep because I opened my eyes conciously, I think.

In the end, I guess I could have fallen asleep and just dreamt the I was awake and experiencing things.  Who knows.

So I think it was a lucid dream if you could really control yourself in that dream.

Hi krmason,

Welcome to the Astral Pulse forums! [] The question of 'Was it a dream or something else?' does appear pretty often on these boards. The experience was subjective to you. Therefore, it would be difficult for another to say with much certainty exactly what you experienced.

The best advice I could give would be to read prior posts in the dream and obe/ap forums and see if anything was written that was like your experience. Take a look at our Permanent Astral topics forum for some prior posts/threads that were made permanent because of the good information contained in them.

Also, sometimes books on lucid dreaming and obe/ap report experiences that mirror our own, and that helps too. []


Very best,

I have only been trying tro reach my inner self for the last two months, and only recently full time, but have a few questions about what i am feeling.

One night, as I was meditatiing, I heard a very loud, ear peircing gaggle of people talking in my right ear.  I couldn't understand them and, as a reflex, I covered my ear and they went away.

After meditating, I also feel my body slightly vibrating, as if I was shivering but only on a mild scale.

Last night, after reading your forum, I meditated and said to float upwards.  Suddenly, I was flying faster than I ever have but in a darken area with tons of stars.  I did not experience the getting out of my body or anything else, but I was not consiously controlling myself as I would if it was my imagination.  It ended when I opend my eyes.  Was this a Lucid dream?

Any advice would be appreciated
