I took a nap late this morning after waking up a little earlier than I needed to. The phone rang while I was sleeping and I didn't get up to answer it but after a few minutesI found myself in the mind awake body alseep state. I stood up right out of my body. I was in my room and went out into the hallway and then decided I really wanted to go to the astral not just hang out in the rtz.

I next found myself shooting through a tunnel at a fast speed, it was made of black and white lights or I only saw it in black and white. If I ended up somewhere, I don't remember.

I was back in my body and decided to try again, I was in a different tunnel this time. The pattern of light in the tunnel was different than the first one but still black and white. As I was flying through it, I thought I should be asking to see a guide. I found myself slowing down in the tunnel and backing up, I turned and saw a different tunnel. This one looked almost man-made with plaster walls and eventually as I moved along there was a wood floor and then I was in a large building of some sort. The building reminded me of a castle but it had white plaster walls and dark wooden floors. There were lots of people moving around on their own business. I went down some stairs and entered a large open hall. I continued down more stairs and there was a woman standing by a table with some children's drawings on it. As I looked at one of the drawings, I saw that it was of a daisy in a flower pot and it had my name signed on it, like something I made when I was very young.

I was back in my body and tried again. Another tunnel experience but I was having trouble seeing. I called for clarity but still my vision was fading. The same woman who had been standing by the table was holding what looked to me like another child's drawing or cut-out, she was asking what I saw when I looked at it and I tried to answer but I couldn't see very well at all by this point.

I felt myself pulled back to my body, someone was touching my face right below my nose and above my upper lip. It felt very strange. She was saying, "There you are." over and over. I became frightened and then she looked frightening, luckily I could barely see. I calmed down thinking I was making the experience frightening myself and I just didn't understand what she was attempting to do and it became less frightening. I opened my physical eyes thinking someone was actually there trying to wake me up and I was a little irritated. There was nobody there. I figured whoever it was, was still there in the rtz next to my bed so I said, "sorry I don't understand," and got up.

I have had similar tunnel experiences, and most of the time I have ended up in a hospital-like setting dedicated to the mental/emotional adjustment of people going there. It almost feels to me that you went to visit a guide that has been with you since you were a child, and have now, through AP, become conscious of lessons that she has been teaching us. Your lucidity in this (now you know who she is) may change the relationship between you (you will now see her as a guide in a conscious way) or you may get a new one. I feel you have nothing to fear- you may enter into a more conscious learning process than you did before- don't be surprised if you start dreaming more 'school-type' dreams or have projections to teaching places.
Just a hunch, though.

Interesting. I'll see if I have classroom dreams, although I actually have been having a lot of these for the past couple years. Usually I become lucid just as class is over or as I am on my way to a class. I have yet to remember anything that was taught when I am awake.

I was still waking up as I posted the original message and on reflection I guess they weren't actually spontanious. I exited each time on purpose, I just hadn't planned on doing anything but sleeping in the first place.
