Astral Projection or Lucid Dream

Yesterday before going to bed I thought I would try to project. I went though all the steps using the rope technique like I usually do. I tryed for a while with no success. After I decided to try another technique i have heard of. I visualized I was lying on my side while lying flat on my bed. The next thing I remember I saw myself lying there in in my bed. I remember a pulling sensation towards my body. I then flew out of my room and around outside my house for awhile.

A few things make me think it was just a lucid dream.

1. It was sunny out. It was actually a cloudy and rainy day.

2. There was a deep river next to my house instead of the shallow creek that is there.

3. I didnt remember any vibes or hear any sounds like people talk about experiencing right before projecting

It is my lifes goal to learn to astral projection. Even if it was just a lucid dream I am not disappointed as that would be my first one. I know there are alot of knowlegable people on here, and would like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks
