Hello Everyone,
This is all very new to me so please forgive my lack of knowledge on the subject.
I’m curious to seek your opinion about my experiences.
Were these true Astral projections or Lucid dreams?

Many thanks for you replies!

First experience
happened by mistake.
I did not know anything about OBE but used to have very strong vibrations when I was over tired and would
suddenly wake myself up due to being scared. This happened a few times over the years and was considering going to see a doctor to see if there was something wrong. But one day I just thought what is going to happen if I let this feeling go further and then I just remember getting up out of my body, feeling unstable and feeling like I was in a drunk state at the end of my bed with poor vision but I could make out my wife, daughter and my own body, I remember my daughter kicked me that sent me back and woke up. I do remember it clearly. Although very frightening I did feel really good the next day. It felt like I had a really good mental massage or something.

Second experience
After researching on how to do OBE I decided to try it again. This time I got sleep paralysis and was looking at my hand
that seemed to have a blue type glow. I felt stuck and could not get out of body then I could feeling someones had trying to help me, it was not aggressive but it did freak me out so I woke up.

Third experience
After further research I decided to use audio tapes I found on youtube to help calm the mind and then in the afternoon I successfully went in to the Sleep paralysis then loud noises and vibrations in my head. I do remember feeling a little excited and floated right through the wall into my living room. I don’t remember if it was by choice but I manifested my mother there and I think my wife was there also. I held my mothers hand because I miss her and I live in another country. My vision before hand was poor so I asked for clarity and everything became clearer. I then went back into the bedroom and wanted to see my body which was quite clear. I wanted to see myself in a mirror. Although no mirror was present I think I manifested one and took a very clear look at myself. My features remained the same although around my eyes I looked a little distorted and ugly with a pale face. I then decided to return to body by choice and not by fear just to check the system works correctly and woke up. After I woke up my mind kept wanting to go back into OBE state but I did not want to and was challenging to stop it but finally fell into a normal sleep waking up so relaxed and refreshed.
