Lucid Dreaming and A&P
Apunts: 15 Data d'incorporació: 11/04/17 Publicacions recents
I've been trying to diagnose where I am on the path models... I've been interpreting recent experiences on the cushion for being A&P, but I'm having second thoughts after reading more on A&P experiences.
About 4-5 years ago I got involved in lucid dreaming and about 2 years ago was at the stage of having 1-2 lucid dreams a week (not spontaneously).
During so-called 'WILD' lucid dreams (Wake induced lucid dream - when you enter a dream directly from the waking state) there can be a transitionary state when unusual/interesting phenomena occur. One of these (that I was reminded of when looking into A&P) are strong body vibrations that can range from mild tingling to feeling like you're going to explode or that a strong electical current is running through the body.
Could these vibrational states also be A&P events? And if so, would that mean I've been a dark night yogi for at least 2 years without knowing it
I know it's common to have lucid dreams during the 4th nana, but can it work the other way round in that inducing a lucid dream brings you to the 4th nana? And therefore anyone who has had a lucid dream is in dark night territory whether they know it or not. Interestingly, now I think of it, the time I started lucid dreaming coincides with the beginnings of up/down moods and hieghtened interest in meditation/spirituality.
Any thoughts on this are much appreciated!

My sit this morning started with AP feelings of vibrations etc but also moved through pain and distraction. When I dropped noting the abdomen and did freestyle noting/choicless awareness, the AP feelings subsided and so did the pain. When I returned to noting just the abdomen, the AP feelings and pain return. Towards the end of the sit, frustration arose towards the practice.
