Hello. I'm a newcomer, and found these boards because I need a few answers. I had recently read about Astral Projection, OBE, and techniques, I had practiced a few breathing techniques and found one that I was very comfortable with. I'm laying in bed last night, ready to try it out. I breathed in to the count of four and said in my mind over and over,"I will slip out of my body and remember everything." After about 10 min. of that I actually felt my self slipping into a dream. But I was laying there in my bed, first person view, staring at my tv, which WAS on while I went to bed. But I had really bad sleep paralysis. It had happened 3 times in a row in 30 min. last night. I've never had it before adn I was really scared, especially waking up to it.
Now my questions:

1. Is this normal to have Sleep Paralysis when going through an OBE?

2.This isn't anything dangerous, right?

3. Was I having "symptoms" to a prelude of OBE?

Thanks for your time in advance.
