Strange technique

[Quantum]

I haven`t had a full projection yet because I get scared of the exit sensations, but the strange thing is how I get them. I`m usually watching tv late and at one point I go to a semi sleep or something like that. It is like I have total body awareness and same time I see a dream in wich I have some sort of control over it but not full control. The dream turns into a wierd scenario and then in it there is some sort of movement (last time I dived into a lake) wich gives me at an instant vibrations all over the body and then I feel lifting out of my body wich scares me back. But what is the pre projection thing that Im having because it doesn`t feel like a visualisation or a dream, it feels like I have already projected. I have read that every person projects when they dream, but how can I have exit sensations when I`m dreaming, because it had to be dreaming, I didn`t have full control over it. I don`t know what it was but for me it can work as a projection technique, I just hope I can overcome the fear over it! Can anyone comment on what it might have been what I was experiencing before exit sensations?

This is called a trance and is the requirement to getting an astral projection going.  The thing to do is to practice remaining aware of what is going on when you enter the trance so that you can take advantage of it. What is happening to you is that your hit a light trance which kind of feels like sleep, then you end up descending into a deep trance, which is where you notice that you are semi asleep, from that point if you are not able to maintain total awareness you end up in a lucid dream and may actually end up asleep. You will want to learn how to control your trances.

Yes, this explains everything, I just didn`t associate these experiences with my earlier ones where I had full awareness while I was in light or deep trance. It feels a littlebit different when you are fully aware, but deep trance is harder to achieve for me, out of lucid dream it was like boom, and my body was immensly vibrating all over and few moments after I felt I was going out. I have read much about OBE-s and I know what is going on (when I intentionally want project) but the feeling of floating up out of my body is so strange for me that it turns to fear. I have broken the projections like five times because of that. Everything else (relaxiation, light trance) is simple for me if couple of circumstances are right. Besides of these experiences I have one which could have been a dream but also a projection. All I can remember is that I was shouting loudly that "I have done it" and "I have to remember it" and I was extremely happy about it but nothing more.
