Confused - did I?

I had a bizarre experience last night. I was dreaming about some sort of monster chasing me (very primal I know!) and all I could hear was a loud roaring noise. All I could see was bright lights. The loud noise closed in and I realised I was experiencing sleep paralysis. That felt okay. Then I was aware of a sensation where my legs were high up in the air. I think my upper body was still lying down. I wasn't aware of my room because I was still deep in my dream. I could clearly feel my legs floating up. After this I saw my legs lying downwards on top of the duvet...even though in reality I was asleep underneath the duvet (and definitely was when I woke up at this point).

So I'm confused. Was the floating legs feeling AP? I'm not sure if it was all a dream given that I saw my legs on top of the duvet rather than underneath. I'm curious about this. Any thoughts welcome.

in my limited experiance i say definatly. i have had this where arms legs and my head were out and i could see them clearly like a blue glow but it felt just like (in 3D) they were realy up there. also i felt them buzzing or humming

That loud roaring sound is usually a sure sign. That's the sound of your astral detaching from your physical. Next time when you recognize the paralysis state, remain calm, and you'll get a lot farther. Congrats

A monster in one’s dreams can be about parts of them that they find repugnant (dreammoods.com- DM). The ‘monster’ may be your fears about APing. Interestingly, DM recommends confronting the dream monster & this is very good energetic advice.

We remember more & more about these type of experiences. It is usual at first to only remember snippets of them.

Thanks for the replies. Interesting point about the monster - I hadn't thought of the connection but that does ring true. I will definitely keep tuned in for any similar experiences and hope I get a bit further with it!

Starbuck yep that was most likely Astral Projection but not OOBE. You were most likely still in your body I have experienced that while consciously attempting to project. My legs have been floating almost straight up in the air with the top of my torso still on the bed. Usually it is because my mind is thinking way too much, which creates too much energy and keeps my astral head locked into my physical head. Not until I can clear my mind will I be able to free the rest of my body and truly have a OOBE.

But you are definitely making progress that is a good start, good luck in the future.
