Was it lucid dreaming or astral projection?

Clueless Luna

I am 15 years old. The first time I heard of astral projection was when I was really little and my older sister mentioned it to me. I haven't thought about it until this afternoon. Also, I got into lucid dreaming the other day when I experienced my first lucid dream.

Earlier today I decided to try these steps to start lucid dreaming (the WILD technique at lucidcrossroads.co.uk) I have tinnitus and I was wearing earplugs to drown out the noise of my house, so all I could hear was static and my breathing. After a while I gave up and I just started day dreaming (and still very awake), and I felt like I was being roughly jerked out of my body and flying forward at the same time. It was a pretty big shock because I was expecting to fall asleep and wake up in a lucid dream. Because of the shock I didn't leave my body, and I would really like to know if I had fallen asleep and gone straight into a lucid dream or if I was starting to astrally project myself by accident. Please help! I don't want to dive into something I'm not even sure about!
