A few days ago I had my first sucessfull AP. (source post: https://www.reddit.com/r/AstralProjection/comments/1t8pec2/i_finally_astral_projected/)

Now that one was brief, sluggish and a bit weird, but it was definitely an AP.

Tonight, I tried to recreate it. I went to sleep on my back(I usually cant fall asleep on my back) and I assumed this has a higher percentage of triggering sleep paralysis again.

I didnt, but sure enough I was still in the vibrational stage and could walk out of my body again. This one was immediately different; I felt lighter, the room was brighter and I had more fluidity in the movement, I could go through the balcony doors without opening them, first with my hand, then the entire body. I could then consiously decide to fly upwards from hte balcony, above the roof of the building I was in.

Wonderfull. But...

Then... Above the roof there was no sky, there were rather these tall trees, ordered and pretty, also a meadow resembling a vineyard in the sky and it was much more green, and there were also these clouds and a third strucutre I have never seen before; some sort of rotating filaments or cables of pure white light clustering together and spinning. Many such white structures laid out on the field.

"wow this is all amazing" I though but then got a bit spooked by the fact that I am far from my body in an unknown place. When I thought about the body itself though, I got pushed back into it, sort of like falling back in --> and then woke up.

It was a fully lucid experience all the way throught and I could interacti with the surroundings but it definitely was close the a dream than our own reality, even tho I might have "spawned" into the dream by coming out from the body and the initial room I was in. Weird one.

Question to experiencced or intermediate projectors;
Does this happen a lot? has it happened to you/or something similar?

How to maintain the structure of AP without it "dissolving" into a ludic dream?

If the AP did dissolve, at which point of it did it become a dream?

I woke up in sleep paralysis, then remembered to stay calm and not try to move the body, but instead push myself out of it; as someone on this subreddit suggested not long ago ( and mentioned we should view sleep paralysis as blessings since they can be the easiest point of entry into AP.)

From then on it was textbook example of what you guys in this sub have been describing; I entered a "vibrational stage" and basically my focus shifted into the "astral" body, I could feel myself being the "spirit" made of vibrations and not so much the flesh of a physical body. After that it was easy, I basically floated towards the ceiling, using intent of flying (this feeling state I am very familiar due to my many lucid dreams). Turned around (tho with a bit of effort) and saw the sleeping bodies of me and partner from an outside perspective.

It didnt last long, of course, since I kinda got too excited and panicked myself back into the body, 🤣🤣

It was an undeniable and powerful experience, not the usual "did I do it or not" that I was asking myself after some failed attempts 6 sessions or that I see others on reddit asking. It was unmistakeable. The only issue was that I kinda didnt know how to them move or proceed further, my body felt sluggish an turning around for example was tough, it was like I am moving in honey instead of air. But the entire room was beautiful, the vision is more refined, everything was vibrating, it was as if I was perceiving energy.

For anyone struggling; keep going, try different techniques and dont give up. I also ate more vegan food and meditated more seriously (also gathered Inner Silence any waking moment I could remember to do it) now for 3+ weeks, so that maybe contributes as well. I am excited to make this more consistent and explore more of the astral dimension.

Awsome 🧡🧡🧡
