morning before last I awoke in the vibrational state, fully conscious. I have left my body before from this state but only for very short periods of time and with limited clarity/control. this tiem though I decided to project far from my body in order to become more lucid. I mentally stated that I wanted to project to my grandparents front lawn (about 60 miles from my house) I pictured the scenario and opened my astral/dream eyes and there I was. then I decided I was going to fly and got a running start and took off from the ground flying with semi-control above my grandparents house. The event rather quickly became more of what seemed to be a dream whereas I started to lose consciousness of what i was doing and things just started happening (for one an anti-gravity type thing appeared on my back and my brother appeared and I was taunting him about being able to fly) and soon I fully lost conscious control of anything and shortly afterwards woke up. what would this experience be classified as, LD or AP, or maybe a little of both?

I'm pretty new to the whole AP/OBE thing, but I might be able to help. Apparently, from what I've read/experienced I believe you were in the hypnagogic state of consciousness, where imagery abounds (someone please correct me if I'm wrong). Also I've heard that the vibrations are a way for your conscious mind to cope with the fact that all of your physical senses are gone/unnecessary. The vibrations from my own experiences have been extremely intense and during the vibrations (often induced during sleep paralysis) I have felt pressure against my chest, back, ribs, etc (very common in a vibrational and/or sleep paralysis state. Also I've often sensed presences in the room which is also common. As for the intense sounds those are also common in the vibrational state (from my own experiences, the higher I raise my vibrational level, the more intense these sounds become until they sound as if they are actually manifesting in my head, louder and clearer than anything audible in the physical plane. Next time this happens I would recommend just trying your best to stay in a meditative state and try and induce an OBE. Also it may help to increase your alarm time a bit more than 20 minutes, of course you may have already done that since this experience. Hope this helps.

over the past week or two I've been experiencing the vibrations more and more as I'm falling asleep. what im doing is trying to stay conscious as my body falls asleep and the hypnagogic (hope i spelled that corectly) imagery starts to come, but I always end up losing consciousness. even though im losing consciousness ive been gaining it back shortly afterfalling asleep and i wake up with the vibrations all over my body. from others experiences is this a good method, and also, if i continue to do this do you guys from your own experiences that the vibations will come more often if i kep it up? ive had three experiences with the vibes so far, all using the method described above (not fully aware when they come, but becoming aware when they do). the first experience was 4 days before the second, and the third just one day after the second. im hoping that ill get to the point where i can catch the vibes every night, is this a logical hope or not? also, once im in the vibrational state what is the best way to get out of my body because last night i just ended up waking up since the vibes were giving me a feeling of terror, or impending doom (they didnt so much the first two times but this last time i felt like there were evil spirits in the room or something)?

both of these answers helped a lot. it still hasn't happened again but im not trying to force it, just to let it come naturally. when it does im planning to just draw myself in a direction away from my body and forget about the vibes completely. Hopefully then ill be able to have a much better experience.

this is my main question: next time the vibrations start and i start floating around my room (still vibrating and unable to move, very low clarity) what should I do? should I increase the vibrations as high as i can or am i allready in the planes? it seemed like the last time it happened when i increased the vibrations to the max that as soon as the painting appears on my wall i immediatly vibrated a little more and woke up. basically i guess im asking if im supposed to still be vibrating once im in the astral planes or if by that point the vibrations are supposed to have ceased. thanks. 

starting about 6 months ago i stumbled upon some stuff about astral projection. from that night till about a month or two ago i tried various methods with no success. no matter how hard i tried i was getting no where. then i became skeptical although i remembered one time, when i was young, flying outside my grandmothers house where i had stayed the night. i also kind of remembered feeling strange vibrations the same night. but about a month or two ago i decided that there was no wa it was true and it was all some kind of lucid dreaming.

needless to say 4 days ago i had my first astral experience, completely not on purpose. my friend was staying over and i was having a hard time falling asleep. my mind started to wonder, and all of a sudden my entire body was vibrating, and incredibly frightning sensation. my body, still vibrating started to float through my wall, i was flying but i was moving extremely slowly and couldn't move my body. i could only control which way i slowly floated, still vibrating. i never really tried to increse the vibrations but i still seemed to have left my body. and stuff really wasnt that vivid. i felt like i was in sleep paralysis but vibrating and still able to do the floating thing i described. i brought my consciousness back to my body and was able to wake up. upon recalling the sensation while trying to fall asleep it happened again and i floated aroung my room (again, still vibrating, unable to move, andnot so vivid). it happened a few more times before i finally dozed off. tonight i think i may have finnally crossed over to the astral plane. i was drifting off into sleep and my mind drifted back to the experience a few nights ago which i had forgotten about entirely. and as soon as they did the vibrations started back. i floated a little around my room just as had happened last time. i then tried to increase the vibrations and was able to make them instantly increase just at the thought of it. it was very scary as i started hearing wierd gurgling sounds and my body felt like i was about to explode into a billion pieces. they peaked out and then vanished entirely and i was again laying in my bed and  strange and beautiful painting of a lanscape was on my wall. before i could even register this the vibrations started back but and i was unable to incease them an awoke in my bed.

this happened just about 20 minutes ago and i still have never beeen able to induce these when i want, it just happens. but now i know its real, there is no doubt in my mnd. id like to experiencce these again because next time i want to stay in the planes for a while and experience the most amazing thing to ever happen to me again. anyone who can give me any advice it would be much appreciated. also if anyone has AIM id love someone to chat with about experiences. plus can anyone explain why i was floating around during the vibrations? much thanks.
