more progress and more questions

Earlier I felt quite tired due to getting to bed late and being woken up early by the guy who lives in the apartment above me, blasting his music at an ungodly hour.  I decided to go and lay down and catch a quick nap, and when I did, I had some very weird random things happen for some reason.  I thought about practicing a little bit with a projection technique.  I figured, no real harm in trying.  I thought about trying to get the feeling of my energy body sort of rocking back and forth a bit.  I was surprised at how esay it was to actually start to feeling the motion.  Well I did this for could have been no more than a couple minutes, when I felt this very strange intense feeling of forward motion.  It reminded me very much of being on a fast moving city transit train.  For some reason I was mildly aware of a feeling that my feet were up against a solid surface, like the wall, even though I knew there was nothing at the bottom of the bed.  I knew that my feet were not touching anything, but it felt exactly like they were.
Now I know that feelings of movement like that are generally very good signs that something could happen.  I'm quite sure that movement like that might often lean up to sleep paralysis, and vibrations, which would allow you to exit.  (someone correct me if I'm wrong here.)  But what was up with feeling something solid at the bottom of my feet.  I've never heard of that one before.   Has anyone else ever had anything like this happen?  What on earth could have caused a feeling like that?

Also, I am almost certain my astral body's arms moved.   I was beginning to become more unaware of myself,  and then I noticed my arms in a postion sort at my side.  When I came back to great awareness of my body, I realized that my physical arms were then, still sort of bent at the elbows in front of me.  I tend to sleep on my side and lay quite curled up.  I lay this way when practicing as well.  I really think I might be getting closer now to being able to project, but I'm not sure.

Well I have had a couple experiences like this..

I don't know what to classify them as, though, and the thought of calling it an OBE truly never crossed my mind.

Well, once, after downing some cough medicine, I had lain down in my bed (understandable).  I know I didn't fall asleep, though.  After a few minutes, I turned on my back, and stared at the ceiling.  I moved my arms, which were above the comforter.  I could feel the threads of my comforter with my left hand, but my right hand felt something different.  It was the carpet, and I'm  assuming the carpet that was laying directly under my bed.  Surprised, I looked at my hand, verifying that it was, in fact, on top of the bed, and not over the side or something.

Another time, more recently, I was laying on my couch, awake and sober.  My right hand twitched.  My arm had been propped up, the hand touching nothing but air.  But when it twitched, I could feel the distinct texture of my baby's (dog's) hair.  A half-second later, my dog came around from the side of the couch where she had been laying, out of my sight.  She walked up to me and just sat, staring. 

I never thought of these as OBE's though, mainly because of the fact that my baby felt me touching her.  I think of them as a form of TK, but haven't quite answered the How, nor the Why, which is something I ask of literally everything interesting that happens.
