Hi everyone,
I'm a 16 year old boy and I think I am getting pretty close to Astral Projection but something is holding me back, tell me what you think...
On Friday I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time (well at least I think I did). I woke in the morning to my alarm going off accidentally, it's a school holiday this week so I was planning on sleeping in.
I turned off my alarm and then began to drift back to sleep. Around five minutes later my body started to vibrate! It wasn't furious or uncomfortable, it just felt strange. I was unsure as to what was going on so I tried to stand up and walk downstairs to ask my mother. It was at this point I found I couldn't move. No matter how hard I tried.
Once I regained full control of my body I carried out an internet search and found out it was pretty common and called sleep paralysis. So with informing myself on the subject and learning a little bit about astral projection. I decided to try it again.
I was able to get to the state of sleep paralysis rather easily and pretty fast again. I think it was because I was still pretty tired but once I was at this sate I couldn't go any further. I tried floating above my body, swinging out, everything I could think of.
I then tried to repeat the process on Saturday but I couldn't get to that state again so I just left it for a few days and this morning I tried again. I was successful again, I vibrated etc... But I still couldn't go any further. I have not experienced any of the hallucinations other people seem to get although today I did feel like I was being touched for the first time, I know it's all in my mind though so it didn't scare me. I just want to know what the problem is? What is holding me back?
