What you experienced is unfortunately very common for an initial projection. It is so important to cleanse yourself spiritually before attempting to project. Fear, hatred, anger, etc. must not be in your mind, even subconsciously. People try to cut corners, saying it is easy to project after only a few attempts, claiming "it is easy" or "it can be done in a few days or weeks". Yes, that can be done - but bear mind that projecting without adequate preparation can leave you vulnerable.
My advice is to prepare spiritually first, in a scrupulous and thorough way. Make sure you have no fear or anger lurking in you somewhere. I have even heard of cases where people were watching horror movies or a murder detective film before projecting - and they are shocked that they have an unpleasant AP!
Keep your soul pure and...(continued)
Ok Just like the enraged master said I have been sleeping on my back to increase my chances of sleep paralysis... Last night I had a wierd dream and was trying to raise my hand but couldn't and I woke up in full sleep paralysis!
No fear at all I said to myself OK I'm going out... I relaxed into it and did the floating up thing and I felt myself leaving and it was good ?
What I felt was the sleep paralysis leaving my body :( ???
I suppose in some way itz a good thing in that I witnessed something that most people will never experience but as for an OBE it was a bummer!
Sleep paralysis isn't exactly something you can bring on easy. Being a lucky person (if you see it as lucky) I am forced into sleep paralysis naturally at least once a week. Sleep paralysis is caused by remembering and or acknowledging you are laying in your bed trying to sleep without moving a single muscle. Your mind starts to think you are sleeping do to the lack of movement and begins to pretty much shut off muscle movement or "take control" of movement. You then realize you can't move but you can think just fine. You get a feeling of floating and you begin to hear noises (auditory hallucinations) and if you open your eyes you can have visual hallucinations. Some say you are not actually opening your eyes physically during sleep paralysis but your subconscious is bringing up the image of your room that your...(continued)
Well here is the problem with marijuana and dreams. Everyone is affected by the weed differently and different types of marijuana cause different affects. I have personally had some good lucid experiences while going to sleep really high. It depends on the person and the strain of weed. Sooner or later someone will come along and run tests to see just how it affects your dreams. I have also astral projected while high and it was amazing. There are so many variables that can affect the dream state that it really can't be stated as a fact that marijuana helps lucid dreaming and or astral projection or makes it harder to do these things.
Also I would appreciate it if you would reply with some cool, unique or odd experiences you have had lucid dreaming and or astral projecting. I will be posting those stories via screenshot to my page (not all but some depending on how much I get). The screen shot will include your forum name and if you do not want it to include your forum name please put that at the end of your post. Much appreciated to anyone who replies.

Please Dear users, I make a plea to anyone that may be able to offer any assistance. I'm under severe psychic attack by one or more individuals, they also have attacked me in the dream state. I'm very clairvoyant and claireaudient and hear every word they say to me. I'm being attacked physically and wickedly and recently it's become so dangerous and out of hand I don't know where or who to turn to. I've had many spontaneous projections before but never induced, despite my trying. I have been pulled out of my body before aswel by a spirit I feel I know so I'm aware this is possible. I beg of anyone that may hear my call for help and assistance. These beings are damaging my body and I desperately pray to anyone who can help me. I can sort some of these things out for myself if I was consciously able to get...(continued)
What is the disappointing? Is there is something you need to ask?
I am a complete beginner in this. It is my fourth day when I am trying to experience Astral Projection.
So far I am not sure whether I visualize it or it is an astral projection.
I am able to see my both hands and control them a bit. For example move around fingers or arm. I can Also lift and bend my legs. My arm and legs are very bright and background is black. I do not see anything else just my arm and leg. Neither my physical body.
I am able to feel some warm or vibration mostly in my left arm especially when I tune in my left arm it is not that much vibration on any other body parts. Other sign I have developed that randomly any body part nerve twiched sometimes.
I have tried few times binary beats which didn't really work out but I know It need some practice. The best works so far is on my own when...(continued)
Some people keep having those vibrations.
Some people only have them on first time.
Some people never does!
Im actually one of those people who had them only twice, And i never have them now. First time i found it annoying, later it was very ok as much as i ignore it. And yes you are more than near to project.
You are 100% in charge tell yourself that in LD it will work I promise
