So, most of my AP experiences have happened spontaneously, and this one was really vivid.
I think it was set up partly because I slept so much today (a Saturday). I was exhausted when I got home because I missed a lot of sleep the previous night, so I went to bed at 6, and, though I woke up a few times, didn't get seriously awake until around 10 am.
I've frequently mixed up dreams and the astral plane when this happens, as I clearly feel I've left my body, but I am in a place that's familiar yet still seems affected by dream mechanics. So, I don't remember where I went first, but the second time I was at my school campus. I was marveling at how clear this dream was, as most of the time my dreams are murky (I'm an aphantasiac in the waking world, meaning I can't visualize). In an earlier part of the dream I literally could not distinguish which of two animals (a rabbit and a dog) were white and black respectively, as if the concept itself floated back and forth between them. I was advising someone how not to trigger the dog when handling the rabbit (i.e., don't hold it in your hands and let the dog come up, he will think of it as a chew toy. Let the rabbit approach the dog on the ground, not the other way around, so he thinks of it as a peer, not prey) That probably has a metaphorical relation to the fantasy story I'm writing as well as the moral line of inquiry I've been pursuing lately.
Anyway, I was thinking, Hey! I can even see the reflections of the trees and grass in the windows. I am really lucid. I saw a girl, and she saw me. When I went around the corner she tried to follow me, and exclaimed, "Where did she go?" even though I was standing there still. Briefly I thought that she was real and 'sensitive,' but that was a dream overlay, I think. I can't remember her face well enough to look for her, anyway.
I returned to my body, and I wanted to go to space, but something stopped me. Energy seemed to flow from the center of my back, past my ear lobes (???) and up to my third eye. I felt like I was vibrating a lot. I was reminded of a time my nose was sore from vibrating, as well as another time I thought I had put more energy through my throat chakra through an action I had taken and had trouble singing afterwards. I had the thought that I was going to have a mondo headache later (thankfully, I did not).
I have never heard a voice in a dream that I can recall, (though conceptual dialog and exposition does enter) and my own internal 'sounds' of my mind, such as music and songs, are rather soft/indistinct, but this was very clear, and not loud per se, but definitely commanding.
"You are so at odds with this prism you've chosen."
It didn't appear to be talking to me, but a past life perhaps?
I got the distinct feeling that the one it was talking to was a very go-getter type, perhaps even aggressive.
"Do you remember Martha Timothy?"
He said some other things that I don't remember, but when I woke up I Googled that. There were a pair of saints named Martha and Timothy in Egypt that were martyred in a very gruesome way. If this voice is trying to tell me that I need to grow a spine (a plenty apt message, really, that I've gotten in various forms before. Heh. It seemed pretty fed up with me, hence why it didn't even bother addressing me directly) then I guess, message received.
