Well, I'll try and give a brief synopsis of my experiences thus far. It's all happened in the past couple months before I even heard of astral projecting, and certainly never experienced anything like this while asleep or dreaming.
It started with a dream where I was laying outside my condo and could not move or breathe very well. Fog started billowing towards me, where I was englufed by it, and travelled with the fog, through the walls of my condo back into my room. It was very dizzying. At the time I thought perhaps the ghost of a man who died in my condo was trying to show me something, and I wanted to hear him out but then I got too scared (thought I would have a heart attack) and woke up. When I looked at the clock, I had only been asleep for like 10 minutes and didn't even intend on falling asleep. But that was it for a couple months, I thought I had a ghost story on my hands.
Then something similar happened a couple weeks later. I woke up briefly after being asleep for an hour or so, then fell asleep again. Almost immediatly I felt paralyzed and felt the presence of someone in my room. Then I felt as though I was half in my body, half way out and my bed and the whole room was spinning. I knew I was home alone, and was so scared, I tried calling out my dog's name (big 100 pound beast) but I couldn't speak right at all, just strange gargled moaning. The whole ordeal was enough to wake me up though. I had also just went through an extremely traumatic event so, overwhelmed, I just drove to my dads house and slept there.
The very next day at work, a good friend of mine mentions sleep paralysis, just in passing conversation. I said, "wait, please explain this cause I think this just happened to me last night." So she explained enough for me to say, well I have been experiencing sleep paralysis. Old hag, incubus, succubus, or even the ghost of a man who died in my apartment.
Then, just a couple days later, while asleep, I see this computer touch screen in front of me. It has a bunch of static, and weird lines with loud buzzing noises and I could feel vibrations. I'm just moving my fingers across the screen, searching the static for some sort of message, some sort of code, and just as I'm getting the picture clear, the vibrations get too strong and I think I will certainly have a seizure so I wake myself up.
I woke up thinking something was communicating with me. Honestly, I thought I was recieveing, like, sonic vibrations from the earth..like the earth is sentient or something.
Then a couple days later, another coworker brings up astral projecting, and I asked a little about it and he brought up vibrations. And I think "holy cow, that sounds exactly like what happened to me."
And my last experience happened after a little research online. I actually fell asleep with the purpose of staying conscious. I don't remember falling asleep, but became conscious when I felt the vibrations all through my body. The great part was, I was 100% me in my head, awake, but knew my body was asleep. I was so proud that I was conscious, I just observed my body vibrating for awhile, taking deep breaths, telling myself to not be afraid. Then realized I shouldn't waste time just vibrating. I focused on the back of my eyelids, intent on going somewhere, knowing I had to leave my body. I was trying to imagine my family room, (where I was on the couch) but I couldn't materialize it. Instead I was picturing the family room from the house I grew up in. I knew I wasn't sleeping there, so I got confised and woke up. :(
I haven't had anything else happen yet, and I know it's because I'm afraid. Would love advice and feedback.
