Pins and needles- Well, it is possible vibrations could be like that, but it may just be pins and needles too. It might depend on where you felt this.  There is a sensation I remember that is very slight- almost like how a cold chill will spread along. If this is felt in my head, it is usually the precursor to a more definite vibration sensation.  One thing I remember too is that when this happens, I usually know it- there is not a feeling of "is that a vibration?" or not.  That sense of knowing it is happening is very definite to me anyway.  It is an expectant feel, like a pressure you know is building, and will be let out. 

"Another thing im not sure about is the idea of these vibrations. People say they feel these vibrations yet fail to describe them in enough detail. are they just tingling size vibrations? small like an electric razor? medium like the rumble on a games console controller or strong like some sort of epileptic fit? or even weirder, does it get stronger the further into the astral you go?"

Vibrations can be all of those things over time.  Sometimes, it is smooth and feels warm. Other times it is like an out of balance washing machine.  Other times, it is rough but even. My goal was always to make them as high and smooth as possible, and to push them over my body.

I used to always try to validate my experiences too.  Sometimes it worked, but not always as I thought it might.  Some details are changed, but the overall idea is right, etc. 

For example, I had a shared dream with an old friend who shared this interest at the time.  In my dream, I was showing him how I could send beams of light through my hands into the nearby trees.  In his version, we were shining flashlights into the trees. 
In an OOBE to meet up with a person I had just met, and knew very little about, I was first handed a newspaper that was in French.  She was from Montreal, and I later found out had worked on a newspaper. Later I was shown a representation of a fish.  She later told me her astrologic sign was Pisces.  I could have ignored either one of those trips since they did not seem significant to me at the time.

One other time trying to go to another person I had met I completely went astray in my goal, and ended up in the dark.  I did not know what had happened. Someone said, "Who is that?"  Then, I heard my name.  After a pause, they called again, adding "Is that you?" then, it got bright, and I ended up back in my body.  I thought, Wow, what a waste of a good experience.  The next day, I drove back to the temporary house I shared with co-workers on a summer job.  My roommate came out to meet me at my truck- which was odd in itself. The guys first words to me when I turned off my truck were that there had been a ghost there last night. We had not discussed my interests about OOBEs prior to this.  I had him describe what had happened.  At a time that corresponded to my "trip", he had gotten up to get a drink of water, and seen something coming into the house from the kitchen area.  He called out "who is that?" then said my name, and asked if it was me?   When he got no response, he turned on the light, and it disappeared.  He was so freaked out by it, he spent the rest of the night talking about it to his girlfriend.

Once I had that experience, I stopped thinking so much about having to validate for myself. 

I have had OOB type experiences for most of my life.  It was not always fun.  And in recent years, experiences have been few and far between.  I spent time on the Alt-out-of-body news group ages ago. It still exists, but I can't get to it now. I am active on the Yahoo group OBE-L, an recently published a summary of my OOBE life starting on page 49 of this PDF file-  http://www.outofbodytravel.org/images/Journal_-_Issue_Eleven.pdf
I will see you out there. . .
