Yellow Eruption?

Something out of the ordinary happened last week. I thought of just keeping my thoughts and experiences to myself for a while as I take my own little journey, but my curiosity is getting the better of me and a recent experience keeps bobbing up in my thoughts. There seem to be a few people here who seem fairly familiar with astral projection/OBE and the chakras. I was hoping someone would be willing to comment on the following experience.

I was on my back, hands outstretched and using my mind’s eye to see them in the way Robert suggests. I wasn’t sure if I simply had a very active and clear imagination, or if I was actually seeing them as I turned my hands this way and that, but kept going. Shortly after I could feel the energy begin to flow internally. It was very strong, but not unpleasant, and came with an overwhelming sense of well-being and that’s when I saw, in my mind’s eye, an eruption of yellow come from the core of my body. It was nearly the width of my body and came out much like you would imagine a volcano erupting. I was aware of being aware of this and thought maybe I was projecting, or about to, and was determined to stay with it. Unfortunately, probably due to lack of focus, I started thinking of a giant hand picking me up to take me wherever I wanted to go instead. I saw three familiar faces (of very spiritually strong people) and felt like the energy eruption (I cannot think of better descriptive word) was connecting them. I felt a sense of purpose immediately followed with worry that I might be actually be disturbing these three people and managed to crash the whole experience. I just fell asleep after that.

I am open to any and all thoughts in regards to that yellow eruption, even if I am told I have an overactive imagination. I know it wasn’t a dream.

You may have seen your own energy expansion as the yellow eruption. I'm not sure if the color has any significance. My own phosphenes are often yellow in the dark, but I doubt it's related.

Thanks CFTraveler. I appreciate your response and it is a reasonable one. It's nice just to be able to express such things to someone who takes it seriously.

I've seen something similar when I projected my energy but my conscious awareness stayed in my body perspective-it looked like white mist was shooting out of my body and I felt a torso surge when it happened. But I'm not sure that this describes what happened with you.
All in all, energy effects are interesting.
