Hi everyone, 1st post here so nice to meet you all 
I`ll make this brief.
I have been trying to project for some years now with only 1-2 minor experiences.
Well this morning I came home after a night shift, got into bed and started to relax when I heard a bit of banging coming from outside.
I got out of bed to have a look and saw it was the neighbour going to work.
Anyway, I got back into bed, got comfy and started to drift off to sleep.
Within 2-3 minutes I woke up in a state of sleep paralysis, fully conscious though.
So completely understanding of the state I was in, and completely fearless and at peace, I seized the opportunity to try and project.
I laid their and focused on a green candle I have at the side of my bed when I started to enter a vibrational state.
It sounded like I was on a jet that was winding up, getting louder and louder the more I began to focus on the candle.
I was tempted to try and physically open my eyes to see the candle but instead focused on the candle itself.
Well after a short while the noise got louder and louder and then I started to see the candle and its surroundings as they were in the room, just slightly darker than normal, then I felt myself slowly zooming towards the candle whilst the noise became more intense. Then all of a sudden I felt a small jerk and became instantly as light as a feather.
This was the point I knew I was out
so the first thing I wanted to do was try and jump.
I simply thought about jumping and floating and thats exactly what happened
I drifted slowly upwards to the ceiling then started to go through the ceiling into the attic.
The attic was much brighter then the bedroom and I noticed that the cobwebs where illuminated by the brightness.
Once I got to the roof of the house it was like a barrier then bounced me back downwards into the bedroom.
So at this point I was finding it hard to contain my excitement.
I then thought to myself "I want to go to Egypt"
So I proceeded to drift towards the window.
As I got near the window, I could see my reflection and I looked generally nicer than I see myself in the physical realm.
I passed through the window and out onto the street at which point everything went very very dark and I instantly found myself back in my body and coming round.
I reflected on the experience straight away and tried to asses if it had really just happened.
and although the memory of it faded from reality to that of a dream I am completely convinced that I finally achieved an OBE
OK, so that wasn't brief and I apologise but I`m just so excited now
The purpose of this post was to let people know of my experience but to also call out to the more advanced projectors for advice and opinions on the experience.
Could anyone explain to me why the house was acting like a barrier and when I went outside it was completely dark?
Does this sound like an OBE or a lucid dream?
I was 100% conscious during the entire experience.
Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to read and reply
