Has this happened to anyone?

Ok so I started to attempt astral projection last summer. it took me one month until I had my first successful projection where I actually walked around my own house and yard for a few mins before I lost focus and got to excited and woke up. And since then I've been through several different experiences while trying to project. I have only successfully projected probably 5 times since last summer, however at the time of each occurrence I was only aware I was really projecting twice out of the five times. The other three times where very odd. I would try to project, I would start to feel the vibrations and start to feel myself disconnecting from my body and then it suddenly felt like it all stopped. I just thought it was another failed attempt. I got out of my bed and started to walk around like normal and everything seemed real. Then suddenly I would wake up and realize that I had actually been projection and just didn't realize it! So obviously now I have to get better at determining when I am and when i am not projecting. Has this happened to anyone else?

That used to happen to me when i was a kid....between the ages of 5 to 12 ish....when i was going to bed.....i would lay there ...with my eyes shut...looking at the back of my eyelids.......and it would seem like i was in a 2000 square foot warehouse.......then as i passed out....i would feel myself sliding down the crack of the bed between the wall and bed....and would wake up scared....(i did not know at the time i was going oob.)....i would get up....and walk around to get over the whole sliding down a 2 inch crack feeling..i would walk around and end up walking through a door and would relize  somthing was not right......then i would just sit up in bed and think it was a dream.....as a kid i never hardly had the vibration come......about 10 years ago i started to get the paralizing feeling and what not........now in my mid 20s im starting to figure out what has been happening to me my entire life and its exciting.....im not under its control ....im in control...and can turn it off most nights....my problem is.....when i want to fool around with going oob...i cant produce 1....but when i just want to go to sleep...i have to fight off the vibrations for a good hour before i can pass out....and when i do just "go with the flow"....if i dont get as far away from my body as possible....i get "sucked'' back in......now ....this parts weird.........i have been praying for god to send me a helper to show me the dos and donts of the whole other side....and to help me stay out and show me around.....i read about this somewhere and decited to give it a go....well....now....whenever i start to go oob....2 hands grab mine and snatch me out......everytime.....its the same little girl....about 10ish.....wearing a white dress and a funny looking silver (metalic)hat.....(kinda like a swiming cap...but silver insted of black or white)...she never says nothing.......just pulls me out ...and kinda like a cow that just had a calf, gets me going then...justs walks or hovers off.....and everytime it happens...i can never stay out because i want to talk to her or somthing....and i get over excited ....then WAM.......i sit up in the the norm........

It always helps me to remind myself during the day that I am awake. Or routinely ask yourself "Am I awake?". Eventually, it will be something you ask yourself in your sleep out of habit and a lot of times induces AP or a lucid dream. You could also try to remember to turn around and look at your physical self while you are oob. It takes a while to remember to do these things while you are actually having an obe but the more you train yourself or run mantras through your head during the day, the more it will become natural to you in the nonphysical

That has happened to me several times within the few months I've been projecting... funny thing I will never OBE in my bedroom (where I have all my projections) and instead I'll end up in another part of the house or outside. Half the time I won't realize I'm out of body, but just the other day i caught myself mid-OBE. I was in my kitchen and was gazing out the window at a brook not too far behind my house... I had the urge to fly out over this brook but instead of hanging a right and exiting the backdoor I attempted to climb over the kitchen table and exit out the window itself. I think my higher self ended that experience at that point out of pity...
