Hi pplz
I'm new (to this, the forum and whatever happened to me lol)
I would like your opinion on this (plz excuse the long explanation):
A bit of background:
I have very low general knowledge (I'm not stupid

I just don't care about the rest of the world or what most people do, no tv, no politics, I watch movies, but dont care who acted or directed them or whatever..)
Now I have heard about Astral projection, never really known what it is. (Thought it's something like; making people see stuff that aren't there) lol
What happened:
My dream or projection or something?
So last Sunday I went for a late afternoon nap. Going in and out of sleep a few times (those real deep ones) .Then finding myself lying in my bed sort of "detached" to my body feeling awake or almost... but I cant move and have no control over my body (now this happened to me quite a few times before, but not what happened next), so as always I struggle to get awake being a bit scared, since I always feel a presence and I can't see hear speak or anything (what if it's a burglar? lol). (However this never works. I have to try to calm down and try to go back to "sleep" to really wake up... lol this sounds weird), any case, as I struggle to get my eyelids open using sheer will power (I have little, haha) they actually started going open!! now that was awesome! (remember I know nothing about astral projection or anything like that) Eyelids opening and closing as I try to fight against the "sleepiness" (that's what it feels like). After a short while of this struggle I go back to a deep sleep.
But then It happened AGAIN (this never happens twice when i sleep, it only happened to me a few times before in my life) This time I was stronger I felt the presence and this time I didn't open my eyes I went to my closet (there's an iron rod in there, thinking ill hit the intruder on the head) now I never actually climbed out of bed and walked there, I just went to the closet?? (Even in my dreams I walk or run never this) Holding onto the rod not picking it up because the sheer sensation was overwhelmingly AMAZING!!! In that instant I could feel the surface was coated with a different metal, I could feel the temperature of the entire object, the density, the coarseness of the core I could understand it better than anything ever. I knew it better than my own hand! Then I tried to listen, I stuck my head inside the closet listening to the wood, the clothes, I could hear the colours, the fragrances. I pressed my head against back (imagine squashing a tennis ball against a wall that's what happened to my head), I could feel the wall. Behind the plaster, the bricks the quality, the colour, the shapes, the coarseness.. I spent a few minutes doing this and realising this is like a baby trying things out with his body for the first time seeing, hearing, feeling (However my eyes weren't open, they were closed the whole time) I then started moving around, telling myself to remember the real world to which I'll have to return to live and stay alive. (This was weird, I knew that just as we know we'll have to eat tonight or work to get money to buy food..) I went down stairs looking down at my table thinking, can I fly? I couldn't grasp the extent of my "body", I'm not sure even now? did I have more limbs than I was controlling? What else was possible? (really wana go back)
Any way, back to the thought of flight. I thought, OK take it easy, I know what I can do in the real world so lets try that, so I jumped down to the table not feeling anything like being able to fly. when I landed on the table. I could for the first time actually feel my legs, my knees taking the weight of the jump. Were they created and manifested the instant I needed them or where they there all along? (I didn't think that then, I just realised it now) I jumped from table to table, only 3 of them still inside my flat. (now this is where it's get like a dream

hoping it's not) See the world is similar there, but different, there were no people, I didn't even think about going outside, but it was always changing. Subtle changes. Ok now I'm starting to convince my self it was just a dream, but it felt so real! Any ways, after exploring my flat, I just "switched" to my own dreams, in a way. It just came to me, not willingly, not unwillingly. It was completely natural to go back to my dreams.. It was done.
After I woke I realised a few things, the memories were as a dream, but I knew it's different, the world there was more real to me than this one. I had to tell my self there that this is not the real world.
I Googled that same night and came across this thread via a link on a forum about dreaming about other worlds... When I read some of the first posts I thought. but that's exactly what I experienced! So here I am hoping you guyz can enlighten me, was it real was it a dream, what now?
PS. I'll spend some time reading this thread now.. hehe
Thanks & Regards,
