I'm new to this meditation thing, but I really would like to astrally project, so I started practicing meditation and attempting what I think is "trance" meditation.

After the first attempt, I woke up during the night utterly convinced a bug had crawled in my ear. I could hear buzzing and it came from inside. I've had tinnitus before, but this time I felt "activity" in my left ear. So I got up in a panic, went to my bathroom and used an earbud to empty out my ear. Nothing. I'm relieved but every now and again I feel like I have a ghost worm in my ear. It's not just the "tinnitus", but it's the sensation of knowing something is happening in my left ear!

And this started after my first attempt at trance meditation. Coincidence?

Any thoughts, is this normal? Should I expect more activity?

Cheers.
