Astral Projection dream walking..confusion

[ail971890]

Hi, I am new to the website. I recently joined because i have become interested in Astral travel and lucid dreaming.
A few weeks ago i started practicing astral projection/travel because i realized i use to do it alot more naturally and consciously when i was younger. But as i got older I stopped or its become at least more unconscious for me.
Anyway, during one of my attempts I was at the point where my body was asleep and my mind awake and during my separation I was thinking about someone and i think i ended up in their dream? I am not sure I thought it was a lucid dream at first because once i was whereever i was i had control over the dream. But then i didn't have control over the dream as if the person became aware they were dreaming.

I know that Lucid Dreaming and astral projection/OBE'S are different. The confusion I have is i felt the usually somatic sensations, vibrations and paralysis of a OBE. But usually when i lucid dream their is something more abnormal that appears and i dont lose control of the dream unless i wakeup. Plus this didn't feel like my dream it felt like someone else's.
Then when the person became aware of my presence or conscious in their dream, i was limited i couldnt control anything. Actually i couldn't even physically (my body) wakeup I could hear my friend trying to wake me up for about twenty minutes but i couldnt move.

What you were experiencing was in fact dream walking. Its a very subtle form, one that needs total control in the dream realm. When that person became aware they were dreaming, they seized control from you. To maintain control you have to understand the purpose behind the dream. Find its key and you will have the control over it. If you have anymore questions just contact me on here or email me at rogue.of.silence@hotmail.com
