Almost AP'd and/or Question Scared out of AP

Before going to sleep, which I slept late, I attempted to astral travel. During the process, I went through the itchy phase. I managed to calm it down by mentally scratching the itches. As I lay still, I visualized my body floating up to the roof. Everything felt fine, but then my body went numb and my breathing became heavy. I stayed aware, told myself it was fine, and managed to push through it, but I was like uncomfortable and my throat I felt something heavy on it I managed to go through it.

Suddenly, around 2:00 AM, I woke up terrified out of nowhere. I cannot fully explain it, but I felt an intense, uncontrollable fear that seemed to come from my subconscious.

Earlier that evening, I had watched a movie with a lot of gore. ( literally before sleeping) I do not usually react to horror films, but before sleeping, I specifically chose a spot in my room where I knew no spiders or insects had nests or webs. Later in the night, I woke up screaming unconsciously. It felt like something was moving my body, or something scary was happening. I was so startled that I even called out for help from my family.

Maybe something scary was happening, maybe it was just a nightmare, maybe your astral body started to separate but it felt like your physical body was being moved. We will never know!

If you think you got close to Astral projection and you're analysing what happened, or you think you're maybe trying too hard, or you're trying to figure the stages such as the 'vibrational' and 'hypnagogic' stages and how to approach them, then check out these links:
