No experience with ap so i won't speak to that but with ld, lucids don't always feel 100% real. I've managed to gain lucidity in a dream just from noticing that my body felt too light when I moved about. Like I was weightless, moving effortlessly. It wasn't realistic and that tipped me off. Also once you wake up and think back on an ld you can see that it was likely less realistic than it seemed at the time

No, what I mean is... You have a tendency after having a lucid dream to say: 'Oh, no it was actually just a dream, and it didn't really feel like I was there. It was all just part of the dream, and it wasn't r e a l l y lucid'. Yeah but no, when you have a lucid dream it really REALLY feels like you're there. It feels completely real. It isn't like a dream AT ALL. But there may be dream elements and weird shit going on like  says. Completely real itc means becoming completely conscious and waking up into this strange land

I read your guide from another thread and it doesn't work for me. I can't do this 'go to sleep but actually don't go to sleep' meme. Obviously you are mit properly meditating nor are you awake or in a trance after 'cutting SHINY gemstones' in my head. I had experiences more similar to the sicko state you describe without doing the near death movie hovering out of body part. Honestly I am kinda agreeing with  here though not gonna read all his posts. Anyway, so called lucid dreams are going to other dimensions of they are in an unknown strange place and Astral Projection when you consciously go somewhere in the real world. That's how I see it anyway.
