Please Help me understand what's happening

I had an OBE for the first time about a week ago. It felt like something grabbing my feet and arms and pulling me out of my body. It took me flying around my house and showed me something in my attic then pulled me way down into darkness where I saw a dark figure in the distance waiting. I got fearful so I went back to my body. I have since consciously AP'd but my vision wasn't as clear and I lacked coordination to get very far. When I did it consciously, I didn't feel pulled. I just felt the floaty feeling. When it happens without me trying (twice more since my first experience), I feel pulled by my feet. What does this mean? Thanks!

The best advice that I can offer you is to remain cautious, observe and don't make quick decisions while in obe state. sometimes, when
we do make these choices out of fear we miss out and could have learned..

I know it's scary out there at times, just have to ask questions and feel the moment out.

Could of been a helper of some sort.
To be honest, someone pulling you out of your body without your say so doesn't sound right to me so surround yourself with light (do protection and grounding if need be before bed). Always ask who it is and ask whether they are of light. I hope this doesn't alarm you in any way but just like in real life, not everything is to be taken at face value. If you feel safe, then trust your own judgement be always be aware that not everybody follows rules and some entities will bend the unspoken rules.

Enjoy your travels and remember no amount of darkness can extinguish the light of one small candle  (If you can't see properly it's called Astral Blindness and you might want to imagine you have a torch or something to make you see better).

Thanks to both of your for the replies and advice. I hope I have the clarity to ask those questions next time. I felt really scared when I was paralyzed and felt something grabbing me but I keep telling myself it's not something dark and perhaps it's just my brother who passed 2 years ago. We were really close. I've had a chance to experience the astral on my own terms since the grabbing thing happened and it was a positive experience. I hope it was just a helper prompting me to start a new spiritual journey. My intuition has really increased since this all started a couple of weeks ago. I'm having premonitions all of the sudden too which is new. I feel like I'm undergoing an awakening which is a positive thing overall regardless of what the intentions were of the thing that grabbed me.

Excellent. Being more sensitive to the spiritual world is a cool gift. You might get other 'talents' as you go through the awakening.
