Hey guys,
I learned about astral projection, and out of body experiences a little over a year ago, and have wanted to have one, and although i am familiar with them, i have never had the patience to do many astral projection exercises on a regular basis.
However, recently i have been doing one semi-related exercise, where i find myself in that stage where my thoughts are getting vivid and intense, and realize that i am about to fall asleep, and acknowledge it, and usually wake myself up. Last night, something a little out of the ordinary happened.

It was around 12:00, I was in bed trying to go to sleep, and i noticed that i was going to be heading in that pre-sleep stage. So i tell myself, alright lets let my thoughts flow, and i will realize when they start to get dreamlike. As I lay in bed, just chilling and thinking, at some point i realized i was just about to dream, but instead of snapping out of this state and waking up like usual, something different happened.

I first went into this feeling of deepness, and then I gained complete consciousness, and my body grew somewhat numb and started vibrating, it felt like i was put into n enclosed box with sand around it, with the box being shaken very very quickly and hard. And i was hearing a sound all around me, that sounded like the cross between static and screeching.

Surprisingly, i wasn't really scared, i just told myself to let whatever was going to happen, happen, and then shortly, there was a small break in the madness. In that break i was just trying to chill, and trying to use one of robert bruce's techniques to pull myself out of body, and then the shaking started again, and i was still pretty calm. And during this time, i had a flash of nervousness, and the vibrations broke, and i knew i was completely awake.

I had one similar experience to this, however, it was slightly different, and that was just a dream.

But i have a few questions, first of all, I'm not completely sure what i did to induce this experience, and don't know what it was, how can i do this again? My other question is where do i go from here, what do i do when this happens again?

Any feedback is much appreciated.
