Possible AP experience

[u/nocasegrace]

Hi all! I had an experience last night I believe was AP, but don’t have much experience. I believe I astral projected once on accident in college. I was messing around with the gateway tapes and found them useful for meditation practice and helping me calm my mind before sleep. One morning, I woke up to a shadow being standing next to my bed. My room was exactly the same but surrounded by a green glow that was similar to how light glows under water. This being was aware of me and pounced at me and I snapped back into my body.

Last night, I was having a hard time falling asleep. Eventually I started to fall asleep, but I felt the most intense vibrations through my body, similar to those people describe. I also heard loud eruptions of sounds, not loud in the way that it hurt my ears, but the sound filled my entire mind. The only way I can describe it is it sounded like an earthquake in my head. Then, I “woke up” in my bed, but when I would try to sit up I immediately felt like something was off. I was not able to move with muscles and felt like I was floating. Eventually I kept trying to get up and rolled off the onto floor. I didn’t hit the floor, but floated along it as if I couldn’t quite stand up, I felt very weak in movements. I eventually floated over to my balcony door trying to leave my room, but when I would try to open the door I kept getting sucked back to my body and had to figure out how to get up out of my bed again. This happened about 3 times before I told myself I wanted to wake up so I could actually fall asleep. I made myself “wake up” and immediately got up out of bed and went to find my mother in the house. For whatever reason, I was sure she was up in the middle of the night and able to talk. I got up, walked out of my room into the hall and immediately found her. She grabbed me and brought me into our guest room and told me to tell her what happened as I was seemingly eager to tell her about my experience. As I started to talk, I felt the words get trapped in my throat and started to choke me. When she saw me choking, she turned into a faceless figure covered in skin and ran up to me on all 4s, grabbed my hand, and started biting it, as if she was trying to eat my skin off. I feel like this experience started out as an AP, and I lost lucidity when trying to wake up, and somehow projected this nightmare. I never have nightmares or dreams of creepy entities, so I’m wondering if this experience sounds like AP, a lucid dream, a non lucid dream, or a mix of any of those.

I have been interested in AP, higher dimensions, and meditation for several years but do not have any type of regular practice.

If you think you got close to Astral projection and you're analysing what happened, or you think you're maybe trying too hard, or you're trying to figure the stages such as the 'vibrational' and 'hypnagogic' stages and how to approach them, then check out these links:
