Was it just a dream?

When I moved into a new house, after my dad passed away, I felt sad being in the new house, just me and my mom living there... A few hours later, I decide to go to sleep, after all the boxes are finally emptied, and go to sleep... Later that night, I have this strange dream, these two people stood by my bed, and basically helped me experience Astral projection for the first time.

I was walking around the house slowly, and even passed by my mom's room, she was sleeping... I eventually became scared and walked back to my room, and somehow reentered my body, the people by my bed were visibly angry, and proceeded to force me back out, since time for a sinister purpose.

I eventually got them to leave, and woke up in my dark room, crying over being helpless that night, since then, nothing like that has happened...

So my question is... did I really Astral project?, when I woke up, it didn't feel like I woke up, if that makes sense. 🤔

Horrible dream (Trigger warnings, abortion, bus plunges into waterway

This dream was very disturbing to me. I dreamed that I was going on a trip with a travel group and we are going over a bridge which has a body of water. The bus driver deliberately crashes the railing and the bus plunges into the water. Then the dream shifts to something unrelated.

The next part of the dream I am trying to get out of a wood panel which is on a construction site. I'm trapped inside. I am talking to the construction worker, asking him to get me out. He bangs the panel with a hammer and then I'm transformed to another place.

In the dream I'm in my mid 20's and had a recent abortion. A woman comes up to me and gives me a box which contains the remains of the fetus (after the abortion, there was a cremation). She opens the box and said, "You did this." Then she hands it to me and walks away. Then I woke up.

I was very upset when I woke up from this nightmare. I have never been pregnant nor have I had an abortion which makes this dream, very very weird.

During the last couple of months, some unexpected things happened to me that really upset me but have nothing to do with what I dreamed.

A Bad Dream that didn't feel scary, just left me uncomfortable

i was at work with a bunch of people outside when i noticed a rancid smell and asked my coworkers if they smelled it and we realized a chunk of my side was rotting away and so we started to head back but there was this wolf that came running in the area that usually doesnt bother you if you stay still but it started nibbling at my rotting skin but not like aggressively and i didnt notice at first but we scared it away and then we got back to the building and a bunch of random accidents happened, i was in a forklift that didnt look like a forklift with someone else driving and my foot ended up on a gas pedel and i couldn't lift my foot so we crashed but was perfectly okay. We had almost crashed into a power box. Later a dog was in the breakroom and knocked over a tv, the tv was still working though. I was still working through being injured until after the forklift crash.

Craziest, most profound dream I ever had

Apologies for the longer post, but so much happened in this dream that I wanted to include. I had an insanely lucid dream. It came on suddenly, while having a normal nonsense dream about protesters in a mall. I noticed an unlit storefront, tucked away in a dark corner of the food court. Right as I passed through the doorway, lucidity slapped me in the face. I was quite aware what I was experiencing was a dream, and that I absolutely remember this one.

I found myself in a wooden room. Each wall and the ceiling were covered in wood paneling, polished and shining. The floor was a thin carpet, but the room was cozy and warm. A beautiful woman came around from behind me. When she smiled, I saw one of her teeth wasn't a tooth at all, but a little bead in the shape of an alien's head, and her eyes were sparkling.
She laughed out loud, but we talked with our thoughts. I don't remember exactly what about, but I would say something and she would respond. The woman said, "let me show you something", and opened a carved wooden door that was one of the walls. It revealed another door, and another, and another, and behind all those doors were small compartments full of wooden boxes and boards, all of different sizes. They were empty, but quite beautifully carved. I thought these had something to do with OCD. I turned and asked, "do I have to sort these out before I can move on?" She nodded.
This strange lady could see through any wall I put up. I remember saying "I'm not a very nice person, am I?" And she mocked my pouting, "oh poor poor you!" A bit of a bruised ego but I understood and laughed with her, "alright, alright. I guess I need to work on it." She said "You have a lot of...bravado...but this is only your first eye." (Whatever that means?)
I looked at her and had to ask.
"Are you my creator?" I don't have a particular religion, or even non-religion, don't claim to know how anything works.
"Yes." She grinned again.
"Are you really?"
"No. You have a projected image of her."
"Oh."
Then she laid down on her side and said "Now I want you to come and sit right here." And she patted her lap. Super not comfortable with close affection and this was super weird to me. I did not want to.
I asked if she was sure, for some reason I felt wary of getting closer to her.
She said, "Yep, just come and sit."
"Okay, if you say so..." It was still too weird.
As soon as I sat she grabbed me. I don't know if she was hugging me or just wrapping her arms around me. I normally hate hugs but holy hell did I literally see stars. This hug could make a hell's angel weep, it was the best freaking hug ever. She said, "Now, rest. Rest." And then, in a sing-song voice, "into the bedroom of science fiction."
It must have been my own fears manifesting because I saw the face of a monstrous demon in the stars and instinctively pulled away and pushed at her. She just laughed it off but I could feel myself getting sucked out of there. When I woke up, my eyes just snapped open. It was like I had just returned to my body. I could only sit up and place my hand on my forehead, like "what the hell was that?!"

Has anyone here had such a lucid experience like mine?
