Thread: Bad experience....

I just woke up, and I feel terrified.
I'm hoping that this actually WAS just a lucid dream.

I started going to sleep at about 1:30 am. Instead of going to sleep normally, I did some steps that usually led me to lucid dreaming:

• I shut my eyes.
• I made my body go numb.
• I followed those strange colorful patterns that you get when you close your eyes, and tried to morph them by will.
• I imagined myself floating.

When I was doing the steps towards the end, I then started craving for something more, astral projection. So I tried to will myself into getting it. While I was thinking of astral projection, I also kept thinking of the movie: Insidious which was a horror film that was focused around astral projection which could have aided in what happened.
Well, I went into a dream. I won't go into detail about the dream since it was nonsense except for the ending, just know it took place in my house and it wasn't lucid until the end.
At the end of the dream, I went into my room and shut the door. Everything was dark. I sat on my chair with my legs crossed, and somehow I just floated right out of my body. Everything was lucid and I had control. While I was out of my body, I looked at the chair to see if my body was there. There wasn't anything. However, in the real world I had went to sleep on my bed now that I think about it, but I didn't look at my bed to see if I was there so I'm not sure of the nature of this experience.
Anyway I was flying and I tried to go through the wall but was stopped. There was a coldness. A soft hand grabbed my own and, and another grabbed my side. When the hand touched my side, I felt it go numb and shake. I looked up to the thing that grabbed me, it was a dark figure, with no real identifiable facial features. I believe it was a woman. I was laughing since I usually just dismiss things like this. Then it started morphing into something incredibly frightening I believe and just jerked me towards itself with so much force and I snapped back awake. I had never experienced anything this violent before. I was only asleep for 2 hours but it felt like forever.

The thing that troubles me is that others report seeing dark figures while having an out of body experience.
What do you guys think this is?
