i am not sure whether this was an astral experience,

In my dreams i used to have nighmares about burglars in my flat. that night i also dreamt that two female thieves were in the kitchen. as i looked around, i noticed that the burglar alarm was on, which meant they could not have come in through the door...this was when i realised that i must be dreaming. nothing actually changed around me in the room, like i didnt 'wake up', i was still in the same dream, but i was conscious that i was dreaming if that makes any sense. i decided i would jump out of the window just to make sure that it WAS a dream but then i got scared (i was on the 9th floor!). and at the same time moment i felt like going up, and just floating up in the air below the ceiling... the feeling of instability must have woken me up. i shruddered and opened my eyes.

i keep remembering that dream, even now it feels very real. was it lucid dreaming or an OBE???

Hi Lynne,

You certainly had a nice experience.

When you woke up from your dream and realised you were dreaming, you became lucid. You became aware of the astral world you were in. A lucid experience is actually an out of body experience.

One way to enter the astral plane is to project there directly, the other way is waking up from dreams or lucid dreaming.
