Did I astral project or something?? Can you get attacked???

Hello!
Well, I was dreaming this morning(10 minutes ago), and I was dreaming perfectly normally, then all of the sudden everything goes completely black, all dark, right when I hear this growling noise. Like right after the thing started growling a huge force knocked me down, it didn't hurt, but I FELT IT!!! It felt like a vibrating strong puff of air. Then it started punching me or something with both of it's hands, like pretty fast, back and forth, on both sides of my body. It felt like vibrating, concentrated, strong puffs of air. It didn't hurt, but again, I could actually feel it. It didn't seem like a dream, and I felt awake. Then I had a thought to punch it like back, and it seemed like I lifted by hand and actually punched the thing, because I could feel a strongish vibration right when I hit it. And then I thought I gotta wake up, I did. Right after I woke up it occurred to me that it could've happened in the astral world, and that led me right to this forum to find out. I didn't see what it was, because it was pitch dark. (Or I closed my eyes, since I didn't want to see what it was) This isn't the first time something like this happened. I've heard your body just stands in the astral or something while dreaming. Could I've been attacked by something while I was dreaming? I don't think anything can really attack you right? I could sorta sense the thing, like I felt it was on top of me punching me. I was really scared. Besides the astral isn't dark, so I was probably closing my eyes. Does anyone know what in the world happened here? Thank you for replying!!!!

It sounds like an early days attempt. This and similar seem to be a typical thing during the first attempts and should be ignored. Once familiar you'll find this as part of a routine, these sounds and feelings can be used as a helping hand too. Its becoming familiar with them, basically expect them to appear and know you're on the right path.
You'll still hear and feel things after 40 years of experiences. A hit and miss if they appeal or cause a little fear to develop. Once past them the doors open and your free.
Enjoy this learning experience.

It never fails to fascinate me how different people perceive Sleep paralysis.

was it sp? i also just woke up and had to write down this experience i was attacked in two different dreams i would say. the second i was in some sort of store it had big bees in it, freaked me out. but i eventurally stood in the center of them conquering my frear, and left and out side it was a shooting range one of those that you pay for the equipment ive seen them in vegas and hawaii. anyway i thought what a waste of cash and continued on then something tripped me it was 2 guys that were behind me then they pushed me i thought well they cant herd you and i had a voice tell me something about controlling fear nothing being able harm me. so i did that and realized it was right the 2 guys tried to punch me but they couldnt i refused to give into fear of it they tried a few more times and i was smiling then because i realized they couldnt harm me. then they smiled at me with some evil smiles and i felt myself being picked up off the ground and pinned into the corner then i continued to be moved into the lower realms i continued to think i cannot be harmned and keept just filling myself with love. then i saw a face in my dream a evil looking face and herd a voice screaming at me you will fear me over and over. then it stoped everything turned into static then poof i was awake. i could be doing these dreams to conquer frears to be able to project also you know?  maybe i did transport my conscious into the lucid state to more of a ap. does this usually cause you to go through the same sounds and ect while you are in the lucid.

was it sp?

If I had to give an answer to this:  Yes, it was sleep paralysis.

A very uncontrolled sleep paralysis of an undisciplined consciousness experiencing "thought = reality".
