After days upon days of no lucid dreams or even any signs of them I finally had "something" happen today. However it falls more under the "Astral Projection" category I suppose.

I was out at the club late night, came home by 3 and was in bed by 4 am. Woke up around 11 then laid down to watch "Time Bandits" by Terry Gilliam and started to drift off.

It was light out and as I closed my eye I noticed some major visualizations. I even opened my eyes up and saw them so I knew something was about to happen.

My body started to vibrate and tingle slightly. Then I heard two sets of very odd noises.

First I heard some voice in a deep tone say my name twice.

Then I Heard a deep knocking sound and each time it happened the whole house felt like it was shaking.

Again, recognizing these sounds for what they were I tried to calm myself down and focus on the vibrations.

I could feel them build up in my body until I was almost taken over by them... but noises outside broke my concentration and like water flowing out of a funnel it slowly came to a stop.

I was able to refocus and the vibrations built up and up and up until my entire body was engulfed and I felt like I was being pulled upward.

I found myself in a world of technicolor light. Imagine a huge blank canvas around you with no definition just strong colors.

I remember not knowing what to do. I also remember being slightly aware of my physical body. I felt like I was in another location but still lying down in bed at the same time.

Control was not really there. It was definitely NOT a lucid dream. I believe this all took place in an "astral realm".

I felt like a child trying to control it. I tried to manipulate it like a dream and create an environment but at first the best I could do felt like I was a child dragging a paint brush across the field.

I then tried to focus on my body and remembered rolling, spinning, flying but again unlike a lucid dream, control was murky and I felt VERY limited in what I could actually do.

I focused as hard as I could and I created a "mall" around me. Store fronts and people appeared. But it was as if it was all made out of the colored light I described above. I remember the people being of different ages but could not recall any specific features.

I tried to engage one of them but I ended up waking myself up. I felt myself drain from that reality back into my body.

I started again and soon found myself back in this realm. Accepting that I had limited control I left the world form itself around me. I remember being in a house, possibly a castle and then a war scene.

But again nothing was normal in color. It was as if it was made out of that strange colored light.

I felt like a foreigner in a strange land.

I don't think I actually "moved" my astral body at all the entire time. I think the environment just shifted around me.

I drifted in and out a few times then by 2 pm I woke up and stopped the process. I have literally no idea what I experienced so I am going to post this in the forums to see if anyone can help explain what happened.
