Portal Entry (Lucid Dream)

Recount of a lucid dream (occurred after approx. 7 hrs of sleep, sleeping face down, in a dark and quiet room. I'd also received a routine typhoid vaccine shot the day before and had a migraine when I went to sleep.)
While dreaming, I noticed something wasn't right and immediately with no drama realized that I was dreaming and automatically registered this fact without any excitement. I started performing dreaming tests and pushing the limits to discover what I could do. I could see through walls at times but not walk through them b/c of mental blocks in my mind. The dream started in a normal house and then transitioned without my objective awareness to a portal of the future.
There was no sun (maybe it was nighttime there) and I was next to a major airport and also a train station. There was a lot of activity and large concrete structures and an ocean. I walked down a street and saw a parked car and decided to run up the hood and over the roof to see what would happen. I didn't run off the back of the car, but instead took to the air...like an airplane and flew for a little while until subconscious thought of gravity floated me back down. I climbed buildings and floated off them instead of going back down the stairs when I wanted to move on to another place.
I kept moving inside this nighttime world, aware continually and also wondering when I would awake from it, wondering what time it was in my sleeping body's world and when my alarm clock would ring. At several times, I heard other alarm clocks but they weren't mine and didn't register with me.
I went swimming in a pool with blue fluorescence for a few seconds. A couple other people were in the pool but as the case throughout the lucid dream, none of them recognized or acknowledged me. There was no speech and very little social interaction among the people in this world.
There was an aspect of danger in the back of my mind. I felt as if no one had noticed me yet but that eventually it would be dangerous to remain in that world because I was clearly not a permanent resident. There was evidence of past danger in the tiny corridors of one apartment building and graffiti on other walls but no signs of current danger.
I don't recall all my activities but as the dream drew to a close, I could feel it's end approaching and sort of knew that time was running out so I went to a huge architectural structure and took a small 'marker' and moved it in such a way that I would remember it if I ever came back again. I little while later, an emotional family pull triggered by something in the dream, drew it to a final close and I awoke in my normal awareness without the ringing of my alarm clock and proceeded to write it down. Neither at the point of inception or end of the lucid dream did I feel actual separation from my physical sleeping body.

MiBeloved’s Remark:
It is important to get yourself habituated to non-excitement when realizing in a dream or in an astral projection that you are having the experience. Excitement can cause one to desynchronize out of the experience and wake up again as just the physical body.

MiBeloved’s Remark:
Don’t run off with the idea that the sky is the limit in astral projections or lucid dreams. Even though there is my hype on the Internet about doing whatever you want and fulfilling any desire in lucid dreams, it is a fact that every ordinary spirit is limited. Unless you are and always were the Supreme Spirit, there is no sense in posing as someone who does not have limitations and it is really childish to think that only in this physical world you will have limitations.
In some astral experiences mental blocks do cause or do impose limitations but in some such experiences, the limitations are there because of the limitation in that dimension or domain and also because of limitations in the subtle body according to which level of vibration it is in sync with..

MiBeloved’s Remark:
This means that it is a mixture of astral reality and your mental process from your present physical environment. If this experience was happening say 150 years ago, it would be horses, mules or oxen, wagons and chariots instead of cars (iron-horses). Instead of an airport, it might be a royal stable or a sailing ship sea-port.

MiBeloved’s Remark:
It is usual that during an astral experience, one thinks of time in reference to one’s social life in this world and one gets anxious to get home on time or to get to a place of employment on time. Gradually with sufficient practice, this posture of the mind may be corrected.
If we carry this a little further, we can see now that at the time of death of this body, we might also be stymied about time and routine in reference to this existence, even though at death, all that becomes really irrelevant. Our conditioning in this social setting will not vanish overnight after death unless we have trained our minds in different habits during life.
Many people repeatedly for days, weeks and in some for months try to reenter their dead bodies and wake up on this side of existence. Some persons go back to their beds, lie down and sleep and try to get up as usual, of course to no avail since the physical body no longer is in a working state and cannot respond.
It is important for all yogis and people who meditate that they face this reality now instead of thinking that it will be different for them at death. Being a meditator or being a yogi does not necessarily exempt one from these conditionings after death, especially if now there is no astral awareness of dreams and especially if now during such experiences, there is the persistent habit of trying to wake up again as this physical body.

MiBeloved’s Remark:
This usually means that those persons were not aware of your presence even though you were aware of theirs. It does happen; that one enters into another dimension unseen but with powers of subtle body that permit one to see others in that place, even though they cannot perceive one.
However since one is able to perceive the said persons, one assumes that the perception is a shared one. With more experience, one can break this misconception.
The other thing to consider is that in some such experiences, each of the other persons might also not perceive each other. Some persons may have astral experience and not have the slightest idea that they are having such perceptions. A person sleep walking in this world may be completely blank in terms of objectivity and recall and it can happen like that in other dimensions.

MiBeloved’s Remark:
This might be due mostly to your sense of danger in this world. The mind has a way about it where it carries over fears from this world into subtle places and expresses these in the new circumstances there.
There is danger in some places in the subtle existence however.

MiBeloved’s Response:
Technically speaking a lucid dream is just that, it is an experience of subtle existence without actually separating from the physical system. So this is a lucid dream. And astral projection is when there is experience of subtle existence when the astral body is definitely separated out of the physical one. So from this experience you know the difference.
The great value of lucid dreams is the understanding that when the subtle body is interspaced in the physical system and even if it is perfectly synchronized into it, it is still a separate body and one can still have clear subtle perceptions through it, and can if one is experienced sufficiently differentiate between the two and not confuse one with the other.
Consider yourself to be very lucky to have such experiences. Some persons go through their entire life and do not have even one such experience where they can definitely differentiate that there is a subtle plane of reality.
