I have been trying to project for long time. I always get so close but I don't actually project so out of frustration I started giving up. I haven't been attempting to project for some time until this happened last night.
Here in Australia its very hot now so I have had some trouble felling asleep. Even if I do sleep I wake up just so I can adjust my body to cool down and fall right back into sleep. So I did that a couple of times when at one point I woke up to some noise. I was still very drowsy, I didn't open my eyes but knew the noise was coming from my window. I thought it was just a wind but then I told myself "oh not the ghosts" (I don't know why I thought this I usually have no reason to). So as I was laying there waiting to fall back into sleep I heard the voice. Now this is the start of the strange part. The voice was kind of coming from my head it was my voice (I think). It said "just relax and lay there don't move don't even try to project. When you relax enough you will come out". I thought to myself what the hell, where did this come from. So just naturally I started thinking about it. My mind was racing trying to figure out what this meant when at one moment I felt a huge pressure on my back pushing my body out. I felt and kind of saw another (my) body standing in front of the bed looking away. My consciousness was split half in the physical half in the astral body. The image from the astral body was foggy and there was a lot of fog everywhere. I wanted to go into that body so I focused on the eyes in that body and I was there. I felt great, unbelievable. I thought to myself I made it for the first time. I was so excited. I looked in front of me and noticed that there was fog everywhere. Even the image from my eyes was foggy. I decided to explore my house a bit. I walked (not flew, I wanted to walk) around and that felt strange. It was strange feeling of my feet hitting the floor. I walked into the living room and noticed my dog was there. He normally would be out and I am sure we didn't let him in the house. I came to him to pet him and he responded to me. He looked at me but didn't move. I wanted to confuse him so I flew above him. I was upside down hovering just above him and then I landed back normally. I was amazed at the amount of precision and control while flying. Usually when I have a lucid dream my flying is terrible without much control. Dog was little confused that I flew above him and he left. I noticed my dad was in the backyard so I went out wanting to see what will happen. As soon as I stepped out my dad started talking to me. Now I was confused. How can he see me, what is he doing there, what is happening here. He entered the house and I came in after him. He started explaining me something and I noticed that I am loosing the picture and control of myself. I noticed that my consciousness is now behind my body and the picture is getting more foggy. I didn't want to fall into sleep so I thought of my body and transferred my consciousness into my physical body. I woke up normally.
This is all cool except now I am not sure if this was an OBE. Why was my image foggy and unclear. Why and how was my dad there (this is why I thing it could be a dream). Why was it so short. These things confuse me otherwise if this was an OBE I am glad I got one. Can anyone shine some light if it was an OBE and what was the deal with that fog.

PS sorry its so long I am just excited I wanted to tell in details.

This happened last night. Before bed I was reading this forum and got some ideas on methods and destinations I would like to project to. It was a city I was born in which is on another continent. I know exact location of where I want to project to in the city because i often dream about it. I haven't been there for many years and my desire to go there is so great. Now after reading the forum I went to sleep and dreamed abut the city. My desire to go there is so great that every time I dream about it I think that I actually am there. No matter how many times I wake up and realise it was just a dream every time I dream about it I think its real. Last night was a little different. I thought I was there for sure but then my mind didn't think so (hard to explain). So suddenly I got the desire to project there. Even though I thought I was actually there something was pulling me to project. Suddenly I was back in my body. I felt how I was laying on my bed and what position I assumed. By then I realised it was all a dream and my mind was right, I should project to my city. This is the interesting part. To project I decided to close my eyes and to spin. So I stud up (i was standing up within my body I didn't come out) and I started spinning and slowly moving up with the picture of the city in my mind. As soon as I did that I noticed that I am slowly coming out of my body and then the vibrations kicked in. now I have never experienced vibrations this severe. This went on for a few seconds and I was coming out more and more and vibrations were getting more intense. Due to these violent vibrations I got scared and decided it was better to dream about the city than to go through these vibrations. I stopped spinning and I slowly came back into my body and the vibrations stopped. When I came into my body I was a bit out of phase and was kind of buzzing.

So my question, since I have never projected properly (I think because once I did the same thing and got out of my body but I wasn't sure if that's an OBE or lucid dream because they are more common with me) I was wondering if I went through with it would I actually project to my city or out of my body in my room. Any of them would be good for me so was I any near to proper OBE.
