Can someone please give me their take, did I experience astral projection or lucid dreaming?
I lay in bed and did a slightly modified technique at 4:00 a.m. I close my eyes, and count my inhalations so I can maintain my awareness as I begin to fall asleep. At some point, I do a breath test by breathing in once. Then I hold my breath, and try to breath in and I still breath in despite the fact that I held my breath. That signaled to me I was not in real life. So I try to roll out.
I have a slight struggle to get out as my body feels stiff but I get out after a 10 second struggle. I look at my sleepy body and head over to our NEST thermostat and try to do another reality test. But I notice all the digits are just completely wonky. I walk over to my daughters room to see the lights turned on which is NEVER EVER the case at this time and she was up reading a book according to my peripheral vision. I didnt look at her. I go out the window and float then it all ends.
Was this a lucid dream about astral projection or astral projection or something else?
