I just wanted to clarify what the difference between a lucid dream and a projection was. The whole concept of astral projection is pretty dug in my subconcious, but I don't try to conciously do it. I have had dreams where I have left my body, but it is not how projection is normally described. I know i'm out of my body but I'm only out of a fake body that is in a different bed in a completely different room in my dream. Kind of like, i'm projecting out of my dream-body. Or I will be in the dream and I will leave whatever body I am in the dream and go off into another place within my dream. Like, one time I went to hell through the TV that I was watching in my dream. (ironic huh?) I will be still dreaming, and not nessisarily lucid, i'll just know that I have left my body.

But the other night I had somthing slightly different in that I woke up in my body (this was in the room i was actually sleeping in) and I could not move it. So I tried to move my awareness outside my body and then I was out. I looked at my hands for a bit to try to make everything more lucid, which seemed to work. When I looked back where my body should have been, it was not there. There seemed to be a residual energy where my body should have been but it was not laying there. It was almost as if I was in my physical body outside of my body, looking back at my astral body. Weird huh? Anyways, I went outside in my neiborhood and immediatly tried to fly. That didn't work, so I just jumped really high and ran around at super-speeds. I tried to go through a tree but it didn't work, I just kind of bounced off of it and it actually hurt a little! It kind of reminds me of the matrix, the scence where neo couldn't leap between the buildings because he thought it wasn't possible. It seemed just like that in my dream. So, was this a projection? Was it a dream? Half-projection? I'm not too keen on what the difference is between this stuff so if someone could fill me in that would be uber-cool..

My opinion is that you had a projection into a 'realm' of a 'frequency' very close to your astral body, so that you couldn't go through things or fly away from it/them. It's possible that you saw your physical body as 'transparent' because your 'state/frequency' was very removed from the physical. JMO.

Yeah, thats along the lines of what I was thinking. It was interesting because my neighborhood was different then it was when I woke up. In the dream/projection/whatever there was no snow, but there was snow on the ground when I woke up. It was more fallish in the dream, the leaves were changing. It wasn't quite like my neighboorhood, the tree I ran into wasn't actually there. Thanks, CFtraveler btw your always answering my posts and your real helpful. This stuff is confusing. Have you been dealing with this type of experience a long time? Ive only been experiencing this type of thing for about a year and a half.

I've been spontaneously projecting since I was a child (7 or 8 ), and other stuff too, but didn't figure out what was happening until 9 or 10. I just very recently started consciously projecting at the mature (ahem) age of about 46 more or less. There's always something new to experience.
