I felt like an electric massager- Are these the vibrations?

[Phantom of Destiny]

Hello everyone! I've been attempting to Astral Project for amost 2 years now, with no sucsess. However, last night something out of the ordinary happened, and I'm really wondering if it's linked.

So anyways, I was lying in bed last night, practically asleep. All of a sudden I began to feel this weird sensation along my arms. (Maybe my whole body too, I don't really remember) It felt like my physical body had turned into one of those electric massagers that would vibrate back and forth. However, I should mention, I wasn't ACTUALLY vibrating, I just felt it. It kind of annoyed me, so I moved my arms around to see if I could make it stop, but I couldn't.

I wondered if these were the vibrations that lead to Astral Projection, but then remembered reading that Erin described the vibrations as 'The most unnatural thing she had ever felt'. However, when the sensation came about, it actually felt some-what normal to me. Well, maybe not actually 'normal' but it didn't come as a huge shock or a giant impact. I could still move around, the feeling was pretty mild.

So I would like to know, could this sensation I felt be the vibrations?

It could be that you were experiencing the beginnings of sleep paralysis, a phenomenon that is perfectly natural but deeply disturbing at the same time. Basically when your body is asleep, it paralyses itself to avoid acting out dreams. But occasionally this paralysis can set in before you are actually asleep, causing tingling, perhaps total paralysis, and even the sense of a presence in the room, and is a terrifying experience let me tell you! For me when astral projection is about to happen it feels like the entire bed is vibrating, even jumping around the room, but the most telling sign is the rushing sound in my head. Unmistakeable.

The sensation sounds like it was on the low end of vibration for projection but higher than normal existence. I get that a lot even when I do not plan on projecting.

I have never projected astrally, but I believe the vibrations are on the way there... I feel them sometimes and it freaks me out.

Whenever I have really deep meditations I get lots of vibrations all over. I don't think it's only to do with having astral projection. I get them also when I do my chakra cleanses. But instead of having them through out my body I have them in the chakra spot that I'm working on at that moment and then grows and follows with each chakra I work on. I've always seen it as energy building up and flowing around. Also with the vibrations, for me at least, usually comes heat. I always get really warm when the vibrations come.
