Lucid Dream or failure Astral Projection??

[Willken]

Hey, I got a doubt about something that happened to me 2 days ago. First of all I`d like to say that I`ve had Lucid Dreams before (almost everyday) but this was totally different.
I was having a dream(not lucid dream) that I was in a car with some friends, but suddenly my friends disappeared and the atmosphere changed. Then I saw like someone else driving the car (though I couldn`t see him clearly) and then everything went so blurry and dark. After this I started to feel like an earthquake through all my body from side to side, really intense, and then i felt like a "part of me" got out of my body really fast and powerfully(don`t know how to explain it exactly xD), then I started to see the sky and stars (also some very weird "things" like people telling me things that I can`t remember), but when i was thinking like "am I actually going to have an astral projection?", I sort of bounced into som kind of barrier or something and went right back into my body.

Yesterday something sort of similar happened, I was about to sleep and felt like that earthquake again (oh and some weird high pitch, actually the first time heard it too I forgot to mention that xD) and felt like some sort of cool wind all over my body and then I thought again "am I gonna have an astral projection?" and started to feel my body again and woke up.

I`ve had dream paralysis twice before and some people told me that it was like a step ahead to get into an astral projection. But i can`t help to ask "am i doing something wrong?" "is it the asking myself if I`m gonna have an astral projection what is stopping me from achieving it?". Any experiences, recommendations or just simple comments are more than welcome xD.

See ya!

I guess by realizing you where gonna AP, and it sounds like you where, you automatically snapped out of vibration state or something, maybe you dont really wanna AP

 Relax, Release and let go. That's all you need to do. Sleep Paralysis/Vibrations/Sounds are all just sign posts of the Astral. Sometimes you won't get them at all. It sounds like you are the one hindering yourself. When you feel something coming on just tell yourself "I release all physical control, take me to your desired destination". Then just lay back and let it happen and enjoy the ride.
Good Luck and Safe Travels

Yes, what you described has agreed upon telltale signs of projections written all over them.

Lion said it best. Relax. Enjoy. You just discovered something amazing. Revel in its awesomeness. Poke around all the stickies around here. You are sitting on treasure trove of knowledge, you just have to pick up the trusty search box shovel and start digging.

If you understand and can remember what those sensations feel like, most of the battle is already over. Don't push yourself too hard. Enjoy the lifestyle. You are going to be great.

Cheers,
Contenteo

Well, i`ll try to relax myself and let it go next time  , it`s not that I don`t wanna have and AP but that I get so exited I lose concentration

 Losing concentration due to excitement has happened to almost everyone in the early stages of development. Actually it still happens to me now once in awhile due to something mind blowing that occurs in the Astral. You will see you get better at controlling this with practice.
Good Luck and Safe Travels!
