Hi everyone, I'm Emily. 
I just stumbled upon this site in looking for a community with which to share my astral experiences... so here I am.
A little bit about me:
I'm a 20 year old college student who discovered the idea of astral projection around the age of 12, after reading a fiction book about a girl who astral projects. I became fascinated and read all about it, but the concept scared me at the same time and so I sort of pushed it to the back of my consciousness. It has emerged several times since then, but for no lasting amount of time... until about three months ago. I have since experienced many intense dreams and several episodes of sleep paralysis, which got me very interested in AP again. I have been reading about it and thinking about it all the time.
Two nights ago, I finally projected for the first time. It was by accident -- upon waking up from a dream I found myself in sleep paralysis. From there, I projected out of my body and found myself floating in my room. It was really dark... I really couldn't see anything, but when I looked down I vaguely remember seeing my astral body, which was sort of a pinkish hue. Then I think I got scared because I was back in my body again. It was such a brief experience, and I'm still trying to comprehend it...
Any thoughts? I've heard it's normal for the first projection to be very brief.
Anyway, I look forward to getting to know you all
