Astral Projection From Within A Dream

[MetaXIII]

I'm sorry I'm not sure where to post this, and I have to put this down on paper before I forget. Today I went to take a small midday nap, and somewhere along the line it seems I fell asleep without realizing it and went straight to a something like a lucid dream. Where I wasn't aware that it was a dream but all my mental faculties were with me. And I got this feeling "Hey, it's been a while since I tried to do astral projection, but somehow now I think I can" so with my eyes closed I started imagining my "soul" trying to lift from my body. Slowly but surely the visualisation of my "soul" lifting up grew more vivid.

At this time even though it felt like seconds to me, I decided that I should stop since this is the farthest I was able to "go" and that the amount of energy and concentration that I had to use probably was tricking me into believing that what felt like seconds was probably hours and I should get up and do my university readings. So I opened my eyes and I see that my hands are gone from the mid-point of the radius onward. Strangely I'm not afraid, but mesmerized because where my arms end it's like both sides of the arm come togethere into a single point or vortex that glows faintly. From this point and till the point where my real hands should end there are little dots that slowly travel towards the vortex in my arm and slowly my arm starts to appear. Not all at once but from the vortex towards where the hand should end. First the returning arms are transparent then semi-transparent and then back. Once I got my arms back the same happened to my hands. And at this moment a massive surge of golden energy passed into me from somewhere right beyond my fingertips through all of me. It filled me with refreshing energy and a will to get things done. It was so immense I had to take a deep breath. As I did that I saw energies of blue and green entering my mouth and as I exhaled they exited through my nose.

This time I opened up my eyes again and found out I was dreaming. But the sounds and sense of physical touch in that dream was so real like I never experienced before. As I woke up I found out that only two hours passed since I went to lie on my bed. While in the dream the process was pretty fast I honestly believed that it would be much later. I still don't know what to think of this. I dream on a regular basis, and have had many nights with sleep paralysis, and nights where I am half-lucid. But this was very different.

P.S. Once again not sure where to post this, so I apologize and hope the mods move it where it belongs.

Wow, what a nice dream report! Your fascinating vision is quite inspiring. I had an experience similar to this one, only under the influence of Salvia Divinorum. Of course, initially my hands and part of my arms completely dissolved into a strobing luminosity, bubbling pulsations of dots (oscillating light particles). The rest of me melted into these cosmic bubbles and I was essentially evaporated into the Void. Not unpleasant, really, just kind of abstract. Your trip sounds like a lot more fun, though.

Please share more of your dreams, if you return to this lucid state. Do you keep a dream journal? Thanx for sharing. Also, what proximity to a recent trip on a psychedelic (DMT), was this super-real dream... or had you been doing any deep meditation or something else, which may have stimulated such a lucid awakening?

@ Rising Spirit
The dots I saw were pulsating like light particles as well, but they were scattered in a shape that formed my arms and hands. I do not keep a dream journal though I've been keeping a notepad close to my bed just for that. Nor have I done any meditation, astral projection or any other spiritual practice in over a year. I think the last time I did psychedelics (mushrooms are the only thing I have ever done) was the summer before last. Mostly because the more I came to respect these substances, the more I was unwilling to compromise set and setting. Anything less than perfect set and setting and I would not do them. And since my last trip I've been confident and in a very positive space so I had no great urge to jump back in. I usually want to do them when I feel I'm struggling through something or need a resolution or perspective on something. But even then sometimes out of nowhere I get this feeling that I should meditate or do astral projection RIGHT NOW because it is TIME. And they always end up as positive sessions. Now that I've calmed down I found this on the nexus:

Dream Thread - Philosophy - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

I believe two of my dreams are documented there.

Your trip sounds amazing.

P.S. Also I forgot to mention the energies not only were different in color but nature as well. The golden energy was like electricity while the green and blue ones were like air.
