I was almost out. I think?

[Gator]

     Hi lately I have been looking into astral projecting and OOBE's and it fascinates me, so I've been trying to do it a few times and tonight i was rather close(I think?) I have never been out of body, so I guess I can't really know if I was close or not and I wanted to know if you guys could help me tell if I was close to getting out of my body, but anyways below is my experience.


        So I started off like I have been when astral projecting.I at first layed down in my bed and relaxed each individual muscle in my body. This seemed to work pretty good. I then Layed down in my bed( I don't fall asleep easy so it's all good) and I put on headphones for my binaural beats and put a eye mask on. Now onto the actual process.

I started out by trying to get into a trance. I did this by picturing and feeling myself come down from a staircase in the heaven that was all different colors and it came down onto a beach. I then decided to swim in the ocean and feel myself doing it. This made feel very relaxed and heavy. I got this in previous attempts so I wasn't that surprised. I then decided to tell my self to have an out of body experience while telling my self constantly that my mind was awake, but my body was asleep. This helped immensely and I started getting really heavy and felt my body tingling and vibrating. The vibrating then got very real and heavy, so I decided to try to get out. I did this by trying to feel light as a feather, but it didn't do anything. I thought for a minute and decided to try a rope method. I pictured my guardian with a rope tied to my astral body and kept trying to pull it out of me. This was working as I got deeper and deeper even though minutes ago I was losing my trance. I kept pulling in my mind with this thing( I forget to mention I had two closed eye visuals) at my astral body and I pulled so hard in my mind that I was felt my entire body jerk up in the bed(I didn't do this consciously). This made me freak out and I woke up. I got up feeling fuzzy, not dizzy and really light and cold(literally covered in goosebumps, I have never had this many goosebumps). the 45 minute session seemed like 10 minutes at most and I was really happy I made it this far.

So was I almost out? Can the more experience members help me out here?

sounds like you were close, but tried to force yourself too hard, that must be why you freaked out.

You should be making your attempts in the morning. The success rate is far higher.
Have a read and try this as you wake up in the morning.

You are very close to success. But don't worry. Try it again and you will definitely get success.
