I have read that its impossible to become stuck as long as your physical body is alive but during my first projection (I have posted about it on this forum before) I experienced some fear of not being able to leave. For the most part the experience was passive and didn't seem to last long, but I remember making a conscious decision to "leave" the place I was in. At first however I wasn't able to detach my perception from that viewpoint and I began to get scared. The second attempt to leave or "detach" from this place was successful and I had to go back through what seemed like a void and back into my physical body. If it's true that we cannot get stuck in the astral realm why did I experience the inability to leave at first? If anyone has any thoughts or input it would be greatly appreciated!

I had a strange experience and I really don't know what to make of it so I would like to hear some input from you guys.

About a week ago I was in bed on the verge of sleep and was trying to have a lucid dream. I cleared my mind and tried to meditate. My eyes were closed and the lights were off in the room so all I saw was darkness. All of a sudden the darkness just expanded and my awareness was in what seemed to be an outer space like void. I felt as though I had moved forward past some kind of threshold. Then my awareness was in what seemed to be a sort of party or some kind of wedding reception. While I was "there" I remember thinking that it was a wedding reception of some sort. It was a large ballroom and there were lots of tables and decorations. There were lots of people there but I remember a man in an orange shirt catching my attention. There was also a stage in the front of the room but I didn't pay much attention to it.

I KNOW this was not a regular dream because I was conscious throughout the whole experience. I remember every detail of the room and it seemed like time was present during this experience. It was like I was THERE! The strangest thing about the experience was that soon after I arrived at the reception I decided that I wanted to leave, but I had to make a conscious decision to detach my awareness. At first I couldn't detach and it sort of startled me, but I tried again and was able to remove myself. I then phased back through the void and I was finally back into my head. I had a strong feeling that I wasn't "in my head" for lack of a better term and that I HAD to go back through the void.

What do you make of this? Was it a remote viewing experience, a lucid dream, or something else? Again, I know it was not JUST a dream. I know I probably don't do such a good job of explaining it but it really left me at a loss for words because I've never experienced something of that sort before. Any input is much appreciated!
