Projection & Travel Experience and Questions

[charleston29405]

Hello from Charleston, SC:

So glad I found this site!  I hope to get some feedback in regard to a astral projection that I did about two weeks ago.

Usually, I attempt to project at night - between 11PM-2AM - well, I had the day off and about 3:30PM I lay on my bed for quick meditation.  Well, it was not long I was on my way.  I have a couple questions:

While projecting:
**I do not hear the popping noises/humming or electrical sounds that I have read of.  Is it true, that some do not hear those things?
**Anyone ever heard of a wave of warm/energy that starts at, like the feet, goes to the head when popping in/out of body?  I did.
**Also, I am pretty sure my Spirit Guide traveled the entire time with me, but she was in the form of a bee.  She flew the entire path as I traveled and talked in conversation. Do guides sometimes manifest in other shapes or animals?

Finally, during my travels, I saw my dad.  He has reincarnated on this plane.  I am working on control of how I move around, etc.  I ended up going way too close to him...and from what I could tell our souls overlapped.  My guide instructed/warned me not to get too close. 
Is that true... do not get too close to others?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Love and Light to you, ten fold.

 Hello Charleston, to answer a few of your questions.
1. Not everyone is going to get the same "road signs" to the Astral. Some people experience intense vibrations, popping noises/white noise, cold spells, warm spells, while other people hardly experience anything at all. You will also notice that sometimes you notice that different times you will experience different things. This is why it is important to keep a log. So you can go back later and check your notes. Find out what works for you and what doesn't.
2. A Guide can appear to you in any form. He/she/it will normally take a form that is a. familiar to you, as of a deceased family/friend, or b. something that is not threatening to you, that will not create fear.Animals are reported quite a bit, especially bunnies/butterflies.
3. I have never experienced any does of don'ts on getting near another Astral entity. Possibly the reason is that in the Astral you are conscious energy and your energy might pass through another being. If this happened it would likely lead you to a fear scenario. Anything in the Astral that is counterproductive to further development is normally avoided.
I hope this answers a couple of questions for you, usually by answering questions here it will lead to even more, lol. Feel free to ask away.
Good Luck and Safe Travels

Thanks so much for your time and answers.  I tell ya, it was so cool, whenever I would "will myself" to a new location, it reminded me of Google Maps.  Like when you click on a location and you see it getting closer and closer - until I arrive.  And, now after your response, I am sure it was one of my Guides.  Next time, I will request for all to come.  I really want to know their names so that when I am on 3rdD plain, I can call their given name.  It seems like it would be more effective to actually come into an understand of each of their name. 

Thanks again.  Love, Michael
