Oh, yes! That sounds like the start of a projection, all right! Keep up your efforts - and try to avoid being disturbed next time.

The forum admin too had a similar experience you can read here:

Just search the forum once, you can read some other experience too :)

Hello, Mike, and welcome to the forum! It sounds like you had a brief first projection; congratulations! You say that something frightened you. This almost certainly caused the projection to end so abruptly.

It is important to feel no feel no fear - and no other negative emotions - both before and during projection. Work on spiritual cleansing (chakras, etc.) before attempting projection. This will help you be in a positive, moving, frame of mind when you project.

Good luck!

This only underlines how important it is to be in a calm, loving, positive state before attempting astral projection. Meditate deeply, having previously purged all negative thoughts and emotions and filled yourself with positive ones.

If you are in a spiritually pure state, you won't see scary creatures any more. They do not exist on the higher levels of the astral.

LPC is right, the Astral plane your in is almost like a mirror image of our reality built off your own perception and imagination, so small iregularities are the norm. I viewed my feet from an OBE uncovered by my quilt whilst they were actually covered.  :)

yes, last time i had a proper fully aware obe etc.

when the obe was over and back into my body, a deep and rich warm energy throughtout my body, from toes to forehead, as if my soul was throbbing with new insight, very vibrant and fully of static charge you might say.
very energetic energy for me heaps of bounce, not much relaxation.
was about 2-3 weeks ago for me.
things are back to the normal now for me at least

Who is the "experienced projector" you mention, Darryl?

I agree with Darklon. I would only add that you could try developing astral vision by working on your third eye chakra. Also, you should know what your room looks like so well, that you could at first use your imagination to manoevre around. With time, your astral vision will certainly develop.

Jacob, many people hear noises at exit time: buzzing, whooshing, banging, etc. It's very common. Sounds like you have reached the stage of paralysis. That's good. It means that you are nearly ready to AP. Stay calm and relaxed and in due course you should be able to AP. Some people use techniques such as the "rope method", whilst others just float out gently and naturally. There are no rules about this. It all depends on the person.

Warmest best wishes!

Astral projection takes time to master - for some a short while, for others a long time (ranging from days or months, to in some cases even years). It all depends on the person.

There is an excellent half hour free binaural recording here:

You must listen to it with headphones, otherwise the background beats will not received correctly by the two halves of the brain. These beats help the mind to settle into the necessary lower brainwave frequencies: alpha and theta and delta.

Hope this will help you.
