Cause you werent comfortable with this whole experience your subconsciousness then started manifesting stuff hence that "Be careful" note on the wall, due to your fears. When we are in a lucid dreaming state anything we are thinking, starts to impact on the environment we are in.

I appreciate your input, but I'll have to disagree. I lucid dream fairly often and this was totally different. There was the physical intensity of leaving my body, and then the effort of trying to re-enter, ect.... The mental state and the state of awareness was totally different than a lucid dream. What I think is that when we enter the astral plane or whatever you call it, we are in a non-physical form, so we aren't limited to the physical dimension anymore and can not only travel in space but through dimensions too. I think what was happening when things started to warp was that my mental state was causing my astral body to start to shift into another dimension.

Thanks. Yes, I agree with that and I will try to let go of my fear.

You should go on a little journey and explore - you missed an opportunity. When it's time to return to your body this will happen:

Good to know. :)

Scared because it feels like 'walking in another world'? Well it is, and it isn't! You go out of body every single night of your life, and always did do so. The only difference with an 'out-of-body-experience' is that we become consciously aware of it, instead of doing it unconsciously (as we have become conditioned to do in deep sleep.)
Also, our lives in physical bodies are only the tip of an iceberg. We spend the greater part of our existence as a Spirit -in the spirit realms!
I am saying all that because it might help to put it into perspective.

But there's no shame in being scared, because it is -for most people -an unusual sensation. But that may be the only reason you're scared.
Remember that once out of body you are immediately in a thought-responsive environment. It is not a dense place, such as the physical-body, where we can think/feel what we like, and nothing changes around us. When out of body, suddenly our inner thoughts, and emotions become realities. That may be the core fear you have (?)

But do not worry about not being able to get back to your body! This is a common fear, and totally unfounded. The only possible cause for that to happen would be if co-incidentally you happened to pass away right at that moment from a heart attack....etc. You will always be able to get back to your body, so long as you are physically alive, and not in a coma or something.
So try not to panic, because a panic state will not be helpful to you and will just scare you more. Please do embrace the adventure!
If you have something of a high vibration to focus on when out of body that will help you tremendously. A loved one who has passed on....some deep values you hold most dear....things of beauty and grace.....
But you must feel them deep inside you for them to be helpful. Pasted over fear won't help.

A little excited apprehension is okay, but full-on terrified is not helpful.
Maybe it's because it's the first time this happened to you? If so, you will get used to it.

If you want to have some nights when this doesn't happen, then make sure you fall into a deep sleep. Food before sleep might help, and being dog-tired.
It is typical that going out of body happens after sleeping only a short time, then getting up, then lying back down to go back to sleep. That is exactly how I first discovered astral projection! and at the time I didn't even believe in it! lol)
I have no idea why this happens, but it's the only way so far that I have found to be able to leave my body at will. It's possibly because the second sleep-phase is extremely light.
Though I find it -mostly -quite hard to do as I am so very dog-tired at night and sleep deeply naturally most of the time. I put an alarm on sometimes to make myself wake up at some godforsaken time and do astral projection....but many times I sleep through the alarm :(

Thanks for the advice. I do have a tool which can protect me, I just need to trust in that.
Good to know about going to sleep really tired to prevent ap. :)
