Re: Is this AP or dreaming?

I have stopped vibrating and just gently leave my body now floating up into space, but this confuses me as
it could be me lucid dreaming that I am astral projecting? I am getting lots more visions now when I stay in bed and snooze, but I am not sure wether I am dreaming or astral projecting.
Any thoughts ?
I have often wondered about this possibility when reading reports of AP and OBE. Did the poster merely dream this? Or is it REAL? I finally decided to leave the question aside as it is impossible to argue. I think many authors on the subject are actually reporting lucid dreams which they take as adventures in consciousness. Again, what difference does it make?
To my own mind AP and OBE are quite distinct from LD - but that is subjective anyway you put it, so, again, the question is moot.

Seems to me that diagnosis deserves a little comment. To me 'eye's' experience related to a hypnagogic event - that bilocation is a little different animal. I have dreamed a bilocated experience of self where I could switch from one locale to another concurrent locale. Where does that lie by definition.
I have also meditated so that I created a light-body and transferred my consciousness to it in order to 'tweak' another meditator. I got in a lot of trouble for that, but that does seem to me to be the traditional example of bilocation.
Just wondering......
