Well... so today i was very lazy and went to sleep a bit. It was that kind of sleep when we are more laying there than actually sleeping and so i could notice that my body was very relaxed and mellow... it was much like one feels after smoking some good indica... (i was sober). So, i was there noticing this heavy body mellowness when suddenly the idea of trying to astral project entered my mind... then i remembered several occasions when i tried to "get out" my body (most of them without success), and without much thinking i just rolled sideways and got up.

For me, it was almost exactly like if i had actually woke up and got up... i could see everything like i usualy do... i also could hear everything... BUT there was a strange feeling. I was standing, but i could feel my body heavily relaxed and mellow, exactly how it was moments before... like if my vision and hearing were "outside" my body, but my tact were still "inside" my body, so i kept feeling what my physical body was feeling as it was laying there, "sleeping". It was very strange to have such separation of the senses...

Then i looked to my hands (a thing i learned at one of Castanedas books and what i always do whenever i think im astral projecting) and they were the same i have when "awake". In fact, it was exactly as if i were looking to my physical hands. Then i walked around the room... the room itself was the same, but there was some differences in the furniture... the things werent exactly the same, but yet they were much alike the physical ones that actually are there... also, i didnt see myself sleeping there, nor the mattres i was upon... (in fact i never ever saw myself sleeping). Then i went to the window and everything looked pretty much the same... if there was any difference i couldnt notice... so i started to climb to the roof (probably meaning to fly after it), but noticed that my dreaming attention was waning, so i quickly returned to where my physical body was (and only then i did see the mattress i was, but only it, without me sleeping there) and woke up.

And now i still have some doubts... was it a real astral projection? I know it has many of the usual signs of one, but i didnt see myself sleeping, and the things i did see werent exactly the same as the physical world... so could i be dreaming?

How can i be sure that im astral projecting instead dreaming? Are there any sure things i should look for to know for sure im astral projecting instead dreaming?

Also... if any of you had similar experiences, please share with us!
