i'm coming back to this thread to change my conclusion.
this was a successful projection. not a dream.
i'm reading now and also had the opportunity in meeting someone who practices in astral projection share...
that what you see in the astral plane, when you're close enough to the physical world (sometimes you don't see anything because you're in a different level of vibration), is not exactly the same as it is in the physical world.
and so it's easy for beginners, such as myself, to confuse what is conscious astral projection and what is a dream.
i don't have much more for anyone that's curious other then to recommend william buhlman as he was recommened to me. the only caution given to me with this author is that in his examples he makes having an out of body seem very easy whereas i was told projecting requires time, conentration and energy. you have to dedicate your efforts if you really want to achieve 100% lucidity.
i hope to read more and share my findings on the astral plane later
