Astral Projection

[Iso]

I'm new at psychic things, so I'm not really sure what everything should feel like. Well, I was trying to enter the astral plane, and I'm not 100% sure if I was getting near.

I know I was starting to drift of, and I think this might have been that, but I'm not certain. In fact, I don't remember much of it, but I know I wasn't asleep or falling asleep, though I was not quite awake, either. Then, all of a sudden, I hear what sounds to be someone knocking on a door once, and I'm back "awake" and my eyes are going really fast from left to right, trying to locate it. I am positive that this wasn't a noise that anyone else in my house would have heard, even if they were right next to me. I'm not really sure what happened...

Yes, I m hearing similar strange sound when I try to go OOB. I even heard some bizzare whispering etc....
This is no big deal, just tell yourself that you will have a safe and happy experience.

I have gotten to the point, where i hear a intense ringing sound, as if a jet is flying in my head. i feel a serious pressure in head head too, its not painful as such, but it feels like it should be xD
Then if i concentrate on the sound, my legs start to float (sometimes pulled) up and the rest of my body (astral body probably) follows. I heard you hear a pop when your head disconnects, but i havnt heard this. what happens next is i find myself in my room. i cant see anything, but i get the impression of sight, more like a feeling of things being there. otherwise its dark. i probably dont make it to the astral plane, my theory is that i lose concentration and slip into a dream. in one, i was lying next to my body on my bed, and a rat was burning my hair with a lighter. i was in conciouss control though, becuase i decided to move of the bed. i got a chair that was around, and killed the rat with it.
Now that sounds to me like im just slipping in to a dream.
Anyone know how i could rather NOT go into a dream, and actually project? or am i projecting? i have had other experiences, where i found myself in my room (while my body was sleeping) and i flew through my window. (it was a conciouss decision to do that, and it was kind of difficult, like i didnt exactly know how, but i just wanted to so i did). Can someone make sense out of this?
