Question about vibrations & light

[Webstar]

Hi All-

I am very new to this.  I have always believed I had an astral projection when I was 6 (I am now 41).  I have had lucid dreams and sleep paralysis before.  I have also been diagnosed with narcolepsy, as I can fall asleep at the drop of a pin and almost immediately go into REM sleep.  I do not take drugs for it, but try to use exercise, will power and caffeine to live with it. 

Last night I tried astral projection for the first time.  At bedtime I listened to a hypnosis cd for astral projection, and when it was over I fell asleep.  I woke up around 4 am and put some earplugs in and started to listen to the humming in my ears.  I tried to stay focused, but drifted back off to sleep.  Then suddenly I was awakened by the vibrations.  I think I got too excited and they did not last long.

The strange part, that I have not seen other people talk about, was how everything seemed to get bright when the vibrations hit.  I "saw" with my eyes closed a bright pinprick of light in the center, and slightly lesser brightness emanating out from that.  And as the vibrations stopped, a feeling of warmth, calmness and lightness swept over me.  I thought maybe I was out, but I didn't "see" anything other than brightness.  And a couple of minutes later that warm feeling dissipated.

So my question is, is the brightness normal with the vibrations?

This has happened to me before, but I did not know what it was at the time and had no idea it was associated with astral projection.  (Honestly at that time I thought the "Universe" was trying to send me a message about what I was thinking about, and welcomed the vibrations, light and warmth as they lasted about 5 minutes)

Thanks!

This has not happened to me, but I have had the 'light in the head phenomenon', not necessarily when trying to project.  Once that 'lights up' it happens for no apparent reason when your eyes are closed and it's dark.  Not sure if this is the same as your experience.

Another thing that can happen is that you start to see through your eyelids.  However, it's not bright or anything.

that is because your current earth vibration is in such a lower state than your real vibration that looking within was about to draw you along a tunnel to your higher state.

Thanks for the feedback.  I tried again last night, following the same routine.  I got the vibrations again, but of a lesser strength and no light and warmth.  I got excited again when it happened, which I think is stopping them from building up too much.  So I worked on being calm and moving the vibrations around in my body.  I think I am also trying too early to exit when the vibrations hit, and that I should be a little more patient.

Whoa, a very strange thing happened to me today. Around 2pm today I decided to take a work break and try to project. I laid down on my office floor and started my relaxation methods. Apparently I ended up falling asleep. But when I awoke, I awoke with a force that literally rolled me over from my back to my hands and knees. I was very freaked out and disoriented. As someone with narcolepsy I take frequent naps. But I have never come out of a nap with a force that bowled me over. Stra-ange...

alot of times i get vibes at the end of naps instead of beginning so maybe you were out and got thrown back in. unconscious projections are impossible to remember.

Robert Monroe said in one of his books that he could see the energy of the vibrations as moving rings of light surrounding the body (or astral body).
Sounds like you're very close to full projection and you may have a natural abillity for it. The key is to keep calm (as you suspected), which is easier said than done sometimes.....

I have been listening to some hemi sync CDs and practicing some techniques and have gone backwards. I think Personalreality's technique is the way to go, so I am going to go back to the basics.
