OBE techniques from dream guides?

[NeverKnowsEnough]

I have heared of that as a way to project but i have alos heared it has some bad side effects. Like part of you gets stuck when you fall and you just hang there upside down until you manage to pull free or until you go to sleep. But different people use different ways so i would try it a few times and if it doesn't work than try it occasionaly but try to find a method thta does work.

Greetings to all

I have a few technique and non-technique questions regarding my experience below

I had an interesting experience while traveling in Mexico last year.  Long story short, I just happened, out of pure coincidence, to be at Chichen Itza during the Fall Equinox.  When I returned to the hotel room that night, I made a request to have an OBE while drifting to sleep.  After a brief period of sleep, I entered this semi-lucid state where a group of women dressed in black surrounded me in a circle.  They instructed me to just let go and "fall back" into my body.  

As easily as they instructed me, I felt a part of me shrink down and literally fall into my body.  I could still sense the outer shell of my physical body, but the inner body that was falling into the void of this shell was my point of awareness.  I ended up in a dream where I literally saw a tear into the fabric of my current two-dimensional dream.  When I stepped inside the tear, everything became unbelievably intense (three deminsional, colors beyond description, a feeling of bliss, etc...).  I can only describe it as if I were existing in a living, breathing Slavador Dali painting.  

I'm curious about a few different things?  Has anyone tried this "falling back into your body" technique?  If so, I do I work on making it occur naturally?  Was the tear in my regular dream an entrance into a lucid dream (although I wasn't fully lucid), or did I experience a type of phasing?  On an off note, has anyone had any experience with guides in the dream realm giving them instruction?  

I haven't consciously been attempting astral projection for quite a while, but I want to get serious about it now.  I'm just wondering what techniques I should focus on with the above mentioned experience in mind.  

Thanks much
