Okay so I AP'd 3 time in quick successions.
First time I crawled out of bed and into my bathroom, where I stood up ans looked at the mirror. I like a weird grey shape because it was dark, I tried to increase my vibration but ended up getting back into my body.

Second time I did the same, it was lighter and I looked like the misshapen darwf (little people dwarf not dwarf dwarf) version of me, but I had muscle so that's cool. I think the AP transformed into a lucid dream and I just went to fuck something.

Third was the most realistic. For some reason the mirror reflected a black girl, which I am neither, but I was fine with it. I went to the sing and drank a glass of water, which felt weird as fuck, like static electricity. Then I ended up in a sort of lab and I'm positive it was not AP anymore even if everyone was speaking German. They clearly could see me and the plot revolved around me, although I could not understand them.

I was very well rested before but after that 3rd I was actually feeling tired when I woke up,

Does anyone know how to prevent AP from degenerating into lucid dream? It seems every time I try to go through a wall I end up in a dream instead of on the other side of the wall in AP. The phase book advises to close your eyes or defocus, but closing my eyes I also end up out of AP in a dream.

yeah, doing too many AP in a row starts to turn into dreams. probably you become too mentally tired

Thanks for the reply. But the thing is that it always degenerate to lucid dream super quickly. Or maybe my recall is fucked and I only remember the dream part.

Being in my room is always clear. It doesn't looks exactly like my room but it feels real and nothing dream like happen (except I guess for using the sink to drink). But as soon as I go 'out' of my walls I go in weird ass dream places that have nothing to do with my place's actual surroundings.

for me, the first 1-3 consecutive AP are the real AP then my brain just sort of gives up because it knows Lucid dreams are more 'Happy'. AP is sort of just a dysphoric experience.

The reason you leave your walls and end up somewhere else is still AP, thats the portal, but you didnt focus correctly and end up in another part of the world. I say once you start seeing multiple human entities is when it becomes a dream. Making a clear goal of where you want to AP before bed is useful

Helpful again, thanks.
So basically, even if I don't know what there is on the other side of my wall, I should intend to go through the wall to see what is behind.

I think my actual intent was quite vague beyond the looking in the mirror thing and going to drink something. I had abandoned the idea of AP some week backs, and I basically decided to AP upon awakening and in a drowsy ass state.
