DID I ASTRAL PROJECT??

ok, first of all, i have to say that i sleep in my living room near the door and before i went to try ap, i closed the door...what happened next was i was trying to AP, but no ttoo hard, then for a small moment, i maybe fell asleep then woke up..or i thought i did...i looked at the door and it was open...so i was like (i thought i closed that) i then got up, walked over to it, and closed it...

then i went back to lay down.. dont know if i saw my body when going to lay down, cant recall that part...when i went to lay down, somehow i knew i was astral projecting....i tried moving my arms, and they actually did move..but felt really heavy...i dont think my hands moved though in the physical, well ill never know lol...anyways so then i relaxed and tried to float, which somewhat worked..i felt myself rising from my legs and lower body, but i was stuck to my solar plexus....after trying to float for a few seconds, i decided to try and wake up..took a while and it felt like a tangle of vibrations in my head, but subtle vibrations, when snapping back to reality....it didnt feel more real than being awake..just different....

my question is this...why was the door open? could i have been dreaming? i thought the astral matched the waking world? i would think the door would have been closed......i also thought i heard near my left hear, some sound that said 'shh' like it wanted my attntion, but i didnt see anything. ...can someone explain this?

False awakenings are phase experiences too. The phase state is equivalent to OOBEs/AP/LD. It is all the same. You always travel in mental space when you separate from the body. The phase can be entered before, during and after sleep. After a sleep provides a short cut because that is when you are best primed for the experience.

There are different depths to the phase. If the phase is unclear or fuzzy, there are certain sensory-amplification techniques that will not only make it hyper-realistic, but it will also help to prolong your stay there.

Very rarely does the environment in the phase space (astral plane if you prefer) match that of the physical realm. When there is a perceived separation from the body, your mind will try to make sense of what is happening and will often try to provide you with a near enough replica of what should be there.
