Was I close?

[xDS]

Okay, I've been researching Astral Projection for almost 3-4 months and I decided to do it today with an open mind. I was at my school helping out with some friends and we all decided to take a nap break. I wasn't as tired so I was like "Hmm, maybe I should try astral projection". Well, I pulled up two chairs. One to sit in and one to lay my feet and I tried.

So as soon as I closed my eyes I said in my mind "mind awake, body asleep" a few times then I said "I am going to astral project and I will be successful I am confident and (blah blah can't remember)" then I felt as if my eyes were twitching while they were closed (was so weird) and saw weird patterns you usually don't see while closing your eyes, then I felt as if the chair that my feet were laying on was moving side to side really fast even though my complete body was normal. Then it felt as if my heart was pounding out of my chest so fast. Then I felt a coldish sensation in my legs even though I had a rain coat as covers which kept me warm.

I then asked for help from any astral entities but they had to be in the divine of love, light, and something else but I had no help. I heard some type of sound like music but not exact. Then what shocked the hell out of me I remember thinking of something like I have never ever seen that picture. I couldn't make out the features exactly but it had to be that, it just had to.

Anyways, while I was doing this I was thinking of the invisible rope technique and trying to climb out my body but I couldn't. I then just gave up while the sensations appeared to be going away. I also was breathing from my diaphragm (how we breath at night, you know when your stomach fills up with oxygen and you release it through your nose) to sorta trick my body into thinking I was sleep. What are some tips to do so I can be successful tonight?

Edit: Also, is it normal not to remember the experience exactly or do I just have bad memory lol?

Edit2: I just remembered that I when I asked for an astral entity, the patterns you see when your eyes are closed resembled a cat or tiger sort of so I'm not sure what that means.

If you are in sleep paralysis you are close to projection also your perceptions and state of mind will make a radical shift when approaching the target. The lights and patterns seem to be typical hypnogia which tells you are on the way to a possible trance but nothing more. Could the chair been vibrations or somthing. Also ive found the best success for me is during the day or morning when im really tired attempting OBE at night seems to go no were.
Sounds like your starting to get results keep up the good work

It wasn't vibrating at all. It was a regular computer chair.
