In this lucidventure, we see three new striking elements, that remained a consistent 'theme' (with variations) of my experiences even until today: the "Helping Hands"and "Post-ReEntry Electricity" (PREE)*. I also had the first 'real' (soft) vibrations!
(* a note in anticipation for the fussy ones among us about logic and linguistics: post- and re- is not a redundant doubling of two prefixes actually meaning the same thing, 'post-' here really means to decribe what happens after re-integration, not during it. However, later I noticed I already feel the onset of them when I am still 'out' / projected in the Astral, it is a returning sign for me or a warning to do some anchoring techniques to prolong the experience.)
According to my log, I again was on my back with both arms raised and a trembling (vibrations) much "lighter than during my very first success" (note how I felt the need to note this down again! ).
Suddenly two hands grab the hands of my outstretched arms and "help me up and out". It seems, I also asked for it. I fly around in my room but I do not see anybody else, so the helper remains 'invisible' even in the astral for me.
The second one is a constant accompanyment of many of my lucadventures. It happens after re-integration and after waking up. That means I am wide awake (and in no trance) when I experience it. It is an electric, chilly feeling around my entire body and it lasts for about 20 seconds to half a minute, sometimes even longer. It always pops up after a lucid experience confirming what I already know anyway: I did not have a 'normal dream'.

This lucadventure is of course much longer than I wanted to describe here since I focused on the two themes. If you like, you can see another and longer version of it posted here on Astraldynamics. What happened (in short) was that I was in my physical room indeed and flew out of the window where I then somehow experienced reality fluctuations (interference with higher astral planes, so it was no longer just the physical, this happens often, more on that topic you can find in my article about the 'Validations' here on my blog).
After this experienced and the fluctuations between the physical (astral/RTZ) plane and astral planes or own thought forms created I asked Robert about the difference of lucid dreaming vs. a 'real' astral experience with relation to this lucidventure in the Ask-Robert-section again. Robert said it was a legit 'astral/OBE'-experience. Well, as you know, today, I do no longer make any fuss about these distinctions anyway (see my introduction).
As to the 'helping hands', I have three hypotheses as to its cause:
1. Myguide
2. Myself
3. Myhigherself
(4. after this was repeated on different lucidventures I by now can exclude the fourth hypothesis of any other astral projector or entity that "happens" to be present there and then.)
As regards 1): that can of course be any other 'facilitator' as well (and it turns out in later lucadventures where I saw them, this might even be a likely case)
As regards 2): possibly my subconcious "I" 'creates' the hands to be used as an "exit tool", just as other projectors create ladders or ropes to get out.
I also asked about my 'PREE-phenomenon' on an Astraldynamics thread, but as it turned out to my utter amazement that almost no one experiences it. Just like the hands and the peristaltic waves, it seemd specific to me.
