astral projection turned lucid dream

[doogatyee]

This morning I finally consiously astral ly projected out of my body. ( I have found I usually can do it in dreams no problem) Anyway the last few times I have tried and managed to get my whole self out except for my head!! and I know this because i can feel my astral body over there yet my thoghts are still in my physical head.

Ths morning I decided to try a different way to get my head out, instead of rolling out like I have been trying, I did a very fast V-sit up- anyway it worked my thought process was with my astral body and i stood there looking at my physical body. I looked at my astral body and noticed the white around it with a silver sort of iredensent (hard to describe) color. Anyway i started to think as i stood there "Okay now what? What should I do now that i am out?" I thought I guess i can go check on the kids nd my husband down stairs see if they can see me.

At this point it must have turned into a lucid dream, as when i went downstairs, my husband wasn't home and the kids were not in their P.j.s that they had beem in a half before. Also my sister was there learning something from a man i have never seen. Anyway the kids saw me and said Mommy go get back in your body. which I replied "but don't you think it's cool, I think it's kind of neat." They then went about there own business - I asked my mother"so you can see me like this?" She just ignored me and my sister looked back at me and then went about her business.

I turned around to go back up stairs, and the next thing I knoww Iwas standing in the same spot starrring at my body and thought "I guess i should get back in there" so i kinda just jumped on the bed at myself as iwasn't really sure how to get back in. Sure enough I got back in and my physical bolted open.


So after my long story, next time i conciously astral project myself out, how can I stay conscious to go visit places, without it turning into a lucid dream??

And also can you astrally project yourself while doing other things than mediation??

Any insights would be helpful.
