New to this... Was this Astral projection? I was kinda scared...

[Incite]

OK I have heard of astral projection before but last night I think I may have experianced it.

I was in my bed starring at the ceiling, I wasnt tired but I know I needed to sleep.

So I relaxed my body and closed my eyes and the image came to my mind of me passing through door way after doorway.

I thought this was interesting, because my imagination usually isnt this vivid....

So i continued, it was just nothingness, just darkness with these doorways consistantly coming toward me and me passing through them.

The further I passed through the doorways I felt my body begin to tingle slightly...
It felt like my heart was beating extremely fast even though I knew it couldnt beat that fast or I would be in some type of pain.

It was almost as if my body was numbing.

The doors began to move faster then all of a sudden I felt this MASSIVE uplifting in my head and chest...

I felt like I was hovering just over my body and I was formless.  I was not asleep.
But the strange thing was there was this energy that surrounded me, it was orange and eletrictal It was like it was holding me in place.
It didnt feel malicious, just like it kept me from going anywhere, I got really scared and next thing I knew I opened my eyes and was staring at the ceiling.

Did I have a OBE?

while most likely a obe, the first part (all the doorways and stuff) sounds more like a lucid dream, so its hard to tell

No no I was the one creating the door ways while meditating. I was still awake imagining that.

I was fully awake the whole time.

but thats what a lucid dream is, you controlling it even if you don't realize its a dream or you didn't realize you were asleep (since you said it yourself, you felt you needed to sleep)

i mean like i said thats what makes it hard to tell, i know your hoping it was an astral projection and all that, and i hope that your right (and i congratulate you if its true) but that does sound alot like a lucid dream

No you dont understand what im saying, I wasnt tired at all, I closed my eyes and imagined on purpose while still awaken . its the technique i use to get the vibrations. Its not like a lucid dream where im creating them, its just what im picturing in my head to keep my mind focused.

From the way that sounds, I would assume so... Maybe you should play around with it and see if it happens again.
