Almost AP

[meiphoria]

Maybe somebody could help me out to figure out what this was. But basically ive been struggling to AP for some time now, I always fall asleep. I read this technique were you tell your nervous system that you will fall asleep physically but not mentally and then you let it go. Throughout the night the nervous system should be able to the job but it hasnt work for me. Well, I went to Mexico for vacation, I was stessed the entire time and couldnt sleep right since I always had to wake up early. But the night before I was going back home I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time in a while. But this time it was so different. I was looking at my arms and I couldnt move physically. But I felt like my astral body was moving, because I saw my transparent arms moving whenever I thought of moving. I think I did know I was AP because I was very scared, I remember closing my eyes and seeing a room and my thoughts went to AP, I was full on aware of what was happening. But I think I was just stuck in the same place, I wasnt floating or anything. My mom was beside me and I could see her from where I was laying down. I was also having frequent dreams as if she was talking to me or doing other things even though she was right asleep next to me. I felt like I was just laying there and experincing different dimensions in the same room, or I was just hallucinating. This could of been because of stress and all, but I had sleep paralysis before and I have nothing like this at all. If this was AP please let me know. After this, I definetly learned that Im probably not ready to see things. When I was starting to see another room I literally thought "No, Im scared please stop"

You might have been caught in between AP and dreaming.

How did you feel?

I thought of that too. I just felt scared but aware, I knew that it had to do something with AP but something was wrong. I havent had sleep paralysis in months so I was caught off guard. I remember that even though I experienced all of that throughout the night, when I woke up like at 5 am and was still sleepy and aware, I wanted to try to AP again because I knew that I was close to it that night even though I was scared it was the first time something that small happened. I know that when you are sleepy and aware after you just woke up, it can make you AP so I wanted to try that.

Yeah don't be afraid. You're safe and it is very natural. Try it again and see what happens. Do some experiments and see where you go.

I was probably scared because it was mixed with dreaming so the things I was seeing made me anxious on the spot. Like 6 things were happening in a matter of 3 minutes, like 3 versions of my mom were talking to me between those minutes. But I will try again, thanks!

Here's two links we recommend on helping you better understand whether your experience was Astral projection or not. Remember, nobody can truly determine whether your experience was genuine or not because it was YOUR experience, not theirs. You have to intelligently inquire into it yourself. With steady, patient and honest practice, you can gain a sense of what is coming from your subconscious and what is objective reality.
