My astral projection story

This happened when I was 13 years old. My friends and I were having a sleepover. We had been telling spooky stories and scaring each other all night. At 4am we finally went to sleep. I fell asleep on my back. The next thing I knew my eyes opened… I thought I was awake for a second because I was clearly thinking and having normal thoughts. Everything looked extremely detailed like I had 20/20 vision. Then I realized my chest had pressure on it. I could move my hands they were extremely tingly and vibrating. It felt exactly like a limb falling asleep, that numb feeling but multiply it by 100. I even started scratching my hands and I couldn’t feel anything. I turned my eyes and looked at my friend who was sleeping beside me. Surprisingly I was able to shout whisper her name. She wouldn’t wake up. I then saw a giant shadow figure creeping up to me. I told myself I had to get up. I had to sit up! I pulled myself up. My head was throbbing and spinning everything had that whooshing sound. The tingling was insane. I looked toward the shadow and screamed “im not scared!” It quickly drifted into the kitchen. When it left, my spirit jerked back into my body and I started dreaming about roller coasters. I woke the next morning thinking it was just sleep paralysis. But that question always lingered in the back of my mind… “if it was sleep paralysis how was I able to move and sit up and talk?” I recently learned about astral protection and now I finally know what happened.
