I was nervous, please advise?

Hi,
Great to meet you all!
I just had my first projection that wasn't dreamlike. Now I am trying to make some sense of it so if anyone has any advice i will be very happy. Is this the right place to talk about it?

I used to suffer nightmares and learned to control them with lucid dreaming. I used to think I was projecting and having really powerful and beautiful experiences.
But... Something has happened. The last week or so i have been drawn into looking at the world around me, politically and personally. Something like an inner awareness of the oneness and scope of the universe was somehow triggered in me. I have been somehow awakened if that makes sense? I no longer fear death, and I am 100% sure that the soul and body are separate entities. I know that after death the soul will carry on, it is beautiful and liberating. I feel free in a way never though possible to me before!

So literally 20 mins ago I had my first full astral projection and i immediately came to this forum for advise.
Does the following sound familiar to anyone?

I got the sensation, the rush like a roller coaster. The i saw this kinda coiled tube with lots of light and decided to just go with all the sensation and i was pulled in the same direction the coil was pointing. There was kind of a popping noise and suddenly i was floating in this kinda 'cosmic soup'. I was really aware of life around me and in me. It made me feel nervous. First everything was dark and it felt like i was somehow opening my eyes and things slowly got brighter and brighter but everything was very blurred. I looked down at my hands, they were blurred and shadowy against the light. I think I only had 4 fingers each hand but not sure (3 and 1 thumb). I didnt know what to do, so I nervously said ''Hello Cosmos''
At this point a strong yellow light orb with a presence appeared from below my left hand. It was about half the size of me and kinda nudge me, non aggressively, A bit like a big fish brushing past you whilst floating in a deep ocean. This made me kinda freak out and i pulled myself out and slammed back into the physical world as my skype was pinging.

I dont know what to make of all this, the experience was mindblowing but it also scared me. I really want to talk with someone about this who wont think im crazy. If anyone can spare a few words of advice,( i am feeling very confused at the moment for what to make of this) then i will be infinitely grateful for your time.

Many thanks in Advance!
Mike
