Of course, but I did it half-asleep, just with the minimum awareness for not bumping my head with the walls.

And not all projections are vivid and shocking- shock happens when you first have a 'first conscious-of the exit' projection, many outings are pretty run of the mill.
In that case, what's the difference between a dream and an astral projection? I tend to not remember my dreams because I do nothing special in them. If AP's are so ease to forget, if one does nothing special in them most of the time, why boder learning how to OBE?
