I think I astral projected....?

[Jenniferamy]

I was lying in bed having just awoken from sleep and going to the bathroom.

It was around 4am.

I lay there next to my partner who was also half awake and stirring.

I turned to face him and closed my eyes.

After a short time I realised I could see my partner although I was sure my eyes were closed.

I immediately thought to check that my eyes were closed by physically attempting to open them, but I could barely lift the lids. This was my confirmation they were shut.

I lay there for a few seconds wondering what was happening then for no reason I can remember I attempted to sit up.

I felt the top half of my body rise up as if it was weightless, it felt wonderful.

I then felt fear wash over me as I heard some kind of voice/noise.

I have no idea how to describe the noise almost like a moan and my initial reaction seemed to be fear.

If I was to say where it came from I would say it was from the far right but I didn't feel it was in the room.

After that I then laid back down into what I'm guessing was my physical body and sort of wiggled myself back in.

All of a sudden I felt the weight of my body and my eyes opened.

I didn't feel scared when I opened my eyes. I was more intrigued and now I just feel happy that I got to have that experience.

I have been reading about it and attempting to do it again during meditations but no luck yet. Maybe the key is not to try.... Mmm.

Any thoughts much appreciated! Any suggestions on what the noise I heard May have been??

Thank you

Nice experience, you were using your astral sight and the noises are quite normal.
They can be anything even self generated ones like music if you think hard enough in hearing a specific track.

Thank you for your reply! 

I forgot to mention the vibrations I felt before it happened! I've had these before but never actually projected!

Amazing stuff!

Yes you definetly did astral project. As for the sounds Just like Szaxx mentioned they are completely normal ant its also normal to fear them at first but you will get used to hearing voices and sounds.But other that that you were out of your body, or should i say halfway out.The point is that when you astral project you will hear and maybe even see things alot of time they are a part of you or something that you have manifested by "accident".

I remember the first time for me which was similar to what you described.  I remember I was using a guided meditation at the time and I fell asleep.  I awoke and floated straight up to the ceiling exactly when the mediation said "rise up."  It said this 2 times and the second time I heard it I about excrement my pants because the persons voice got demonically distorted, lol.  Thank god for the forums because I was half butt prepared for things like this.  I had read about the weird screaming, screeching, whooshing, talking, etc that can happen.   I just remember telling myself this was the normal process and to stay calm and go with it.  And now that I look back on this aspect of it things don't seem to have the scare to them they used to.  I know that the noise distortions can be freaky but the entire concept of OOB or AP to me before I had even experienced it was a HUGE deal.  I read a lot about it before I was certain that I wanted to do it.  It was the fear of the unknown and doing something for the first time.  Anyhow, hope this helps.

Thank you for your insights

So the noise was my own mind? Is it true that you can visit loved ones who have passed when astral?

Thank you again!
