Hello, stargazer.

In the past I've had some interesting experiences with transitioning out of lucid dreams... particularly, pushing through mirrors or windows causes some interesting effects. One AD poster and I discussed the cocoon experience, wherein you push / crawl through a mirror from a lucid dream and find yourself wrapped in a cocoon. According to the other poster, if you fight your way out of the cocoon, you sometimes find yourself on the astral plane somewhere. I've had a few of these cocoon experiences after pushing through a mirror, and in one case relaxed in the cocoon and noticed that I seemed to be wrapped in 3D images and being moved somewhere, as if floating. I ended up in another dream state.

In theosophy it is said that when your consciousness enters your astral body for dreaming, astral essence or matter rushes in and forms dream environments around you. Even when becoming lucid you at first are within such an environment.

Your cocoons sound a lot like that - imagery surrounding you. Also when leaving such a dream environment you would find yourself in the wider astral plane. And another clue seems to be that the one time where you relaxed within the cocoon you ended up in another dream state.

The movement you felt might have indicated that your higher state of lucidity moved you to a higher subplane. Was the following dream better, brighter, more upbeat or in any way better than the one before you went through the mirror?

Cheers,
Oliver
