I try astral projection off and on, sometimes I get discouraged, but last night sparked my interest yet again.
I had taken a nap during the day and I was feeling that strange "Maybe I can stay up, maybe sleep" kind of state. It was 10pm and I didn't get much sleep the night before. I figured that I would try to AP for the hell of it (my last attempt only being a few days ago). I think overall my entire 'attempt' took an hour or two. I laid down and simply stayed still for a long time as usual, trying to get my body to fall asleep. After a while I noticed my consciousness starting to 'move'. Hard to explain, kind of like I was moving around behind my eyelids, like I had my eyes closed while on a boat. I can't remember how things came about, but after a while I felt a rush. I can't remember how to explain it...that's funny, this was my main purpose of coming here and writing this now. I felt like something amazing was about to happen, like I was either going to be pulled extremely hard or hit by something really hard. I could almost see things behind my eyelids. I wish I wrote down how it felt after it happened...I remembered other things but I can't recall now. At one point (before this happened) I was visualizing my consciousness as a ball outside my body that had a magnetic attraction and was pulling me towards it. I think this helped induce the rocking motions.
Any advice? I wanted to try getting out at the 'rush' part but I felt like it still wasn't a deep enough state even though that is probably the farthest I've ever been.
-Edit: On a side note, I felt a sense of fulfillment in that state. During day to day life I feel a need for something spiritual, something more than the "real world". I felt like I was on the brink of achieving something. It felt amazing. I also though to myself..."Wow, I'm going to AP! They're not lying!" haha

). I usually just visualization things, or do the normal energy body visualization and try to either sink or rise out of my body. I'm not getting anywhere. Any tips, or anyone know if this is a different level of consciousness? Theta, etc...
