What technique do you use to project?

I almost projected involuntarily when waking up, I heard the loud rumbling sound, crazy pressure on forehead.. but somehow I thought I was in a dream so I tried falling asleep but woke up a few more time with the same rumbling and pressure. but I was really confused and went back to bed. Completely missed opporuninty because I think I could see through my eyelids but I was so confused at the moment I wasn't thinking straight.

I have not been able to project doing any method.. visualization techniques don't seem to do anything for me. I meditate everyday but when I lay there for an hour trying to do this dang rope pull I don't get anything. What are some ways you guys project? I really appreciate your guys responses in advance :)
