Meditation - Feels weird man

I don't know if i'm doing this wrong or what..
My original plan was to try and astral project but I honestly just got into this type of stuff so I figured i'd just let the meditation engulf me.
This is the weirdest feeling ever.. I tried this a few days ago with the same feelings as a result. I'd get into it and the deeper I get into it, the stronger it feels.
It feels like i'm spinning, robotic, 1 million pounds and vibrations. It's similar to the symptom when your sick with a fever. You feel... big but small at the same time, spinning, robotic, ect. it's just weird man.
The only thing that concerns me is.. I don't want these feelings to stick forever. I hope it's not a hazard to my mental health because I do like this whole meditation thing but if this is the case then I aint gonna be able to keep this up. When I first just came back to from this event, I still felt it while moving around! It seems to be subsiding but I still feel it.. ugh.. I wanted to go deeper in this too but I got woken up :/
Anybody else ever feel so weird while doing this??? Or am I doing this wrong??

it may be more intense for you since it is your first times, correct?. you should observe these feelings next time you meditate. there shouldn't be any harm from meditation whatsoever, unless you are forcing yourself to the point of more stress than i would careful and slow things down.

Metapod said: one of the key things that stood out to me when I first started meditating was how strange the sensations a sober human mind can create or manifest just through simply being mindful of the Breath
It's definitely an odd sensation I once meditated for an hour, and spontaneously astral projected into a grove that I had been subconsciously creating...met a strange dude named Draco in all white.. copies of myself dressed in white hunched over computer control panels; strange stuff
explore the Void at your own discretion, my friend 
im deathly afraid of that shit lol
but yea this basically is my first time. the "first" time, i only got into it for about 5 mins.. but i still felt the same weird shit. I used to hate those weird sensations when I was younger but it aint so bad anymore. Like I said, i just dont want it to stick through out my whole days. that drive me nuts lol this meditation lasted for about half hour/45 mins though. is it possible to meditate for too long?!?
id like to think that, what those feelings are is just our brains working in a different frequency and its a way to actually experience it, i.e. vibrations. Does anybody know what brain waves feel like? lol its possible it could be just that.. i guess 
anyways, my goal was to astral project.. i dont know if i want to anymore nah atleast once, yes.. but i just want to fly around the universe, not meet random people lol

Fear also opens you up to lower vibrations too. what many would call demons, and whatnot
if all you want to do is fly, my advice is: Load up that movie, maan say "I want to fly" and just keep repeating that while trying to project.. maybe imagine flying over the ocean or a desert landscape.
I gotta grow balls lmao
thats what i've read so far and thats exactly what I was doing. astral projection seems a little more difficult though. but thank you!

it really depends on what you are trying to achieve in your meditation. op is trying astral so im sure the sensations are more vibrant and wild. but you gotta have some serious jedi skills to astral project at will.

So what kind of other meditations do you recommend? say for.. relaxation?
The way I was taught was concentrate on breathing while counting backwards from 100. This time I did just that and I found that i can very easily just go as deep as I want as long as I have a background thought of continuously counting and then I can still think of whatever I choose or not think at all but just count.
I read to astral project.. concentrate on how your forehead feels and then view the back of your eyelids through your forehead which I kind of understand but don't lol
i was also laying down meditating both times so maybe that accounts for the weirdness?
I feel as if im decently connected to this though since I was able to achieve a meditating state in general for the two only times i've tried so far 
thanks for the tips!

The key to meditation is no thought. So there's no counting backwards, no thoughts of having no thoughts. Just silence of the mind. Focus on breathing & feeling.

Yup, I simply release all thoughts from my mind, and then keep it quiet entering complete peace until I leave

my best ways to LD:
WILD+binaural beats: lay back, be relaxed, be without other drugs etc. for a while (no drugs in body), lay for 1-2hrs or so w. headphones+binaural beats(youtube), suddenly you get heavy, after a while you start to hear sounds, then you can separate if lucky/go directly into lucid dream
can be done without binaural beats too... if you got no noise where you live, then it's even better than binaural beats IMO.... because you can hear/feel when you start to go into sleep mode(weird sounds usually)
WB2B: wake up for 30mins before usual time, go back to bed after 30mins or so best done in the morning with sunlight in the room, then go back to bed
and reality checking is always a good idea with any, + dream journal how did I get here? is this scene likely? do I have a history here? are things physical? :-) often fails..
light switches usually don't work in dreams though... no matter how many times you try
LD is better than the best trip and anybody can learn it(google lucid dreaming), the important thing is to be -very- relaxed no external noises, don't eat right before it/take drugs before it
I once had much luck with drinking Ilex Guayusa , 3 lds in 1 night , but not the night I anticipated (tastes like good tea...)
best is without any remedies , and no external noise, but if you got external noise binaural beats(headphones)/drinking ilex/smoking salvia might help

good info man. thanks! I've lucid dreamt plenty of times. I had it down pretty easy for awhile but I kinda forgot about it lol
its never your face in mirrors spinning prolongs the lucidness and length you can lucid dream light switches hahaha clocks are never right or even have hands if analog, its always random lines/symbols for digital.
however, i was never able to just sleep and then come into a dream and realize i was dreaming. i know if you do that, your lucid dreaming. i did it once on complete accident. i was dreaming and said "this has to be a dream" and everything became all vivid and colorful ect. and I was able to control the dream a little but not much.
twas fun lol
i gotta experience this astral projection stuff though. I hear you can see the crystalline consciousness grid that surrounds the earth. One of the reasons I want to travel the universe 
ima try your waking up meditation on my day off though forsure! 
anybody ever meditate on drugs? lol is it even possible??

meditation and day dreaming are two different ideas. meditation is means a lot of different things to different area of practice. dig the Zen idea that meditation can be happening all the time while doing normal day activities. sitting lotus facing a wall with a 'don't know' mind, feeling the breathe in and out, in and out, letting the tongue flow when begin to go as chants come through meaning nothing to hold onto as it all goes on, an' on, an' on... far out the duality between almost everything. the balance of it all.
day dreaming is fun. once upon a time, far, far away there stood a tree. now this tree is not no ordinary tree, for this tree... ...happily ever after. aum

Never tried spinning yet
but I used to always get excited and wake up
but then I realized that if I try to continue the dream as if I haven't figured out the dream out yet, it doesn't wake me up ;D and by not acting too excited when it happens
I never wake up in dreams when I do this, can prolong it infinitely it seems I just have a hard time realizing I'm dreaming in the first place, usually light switches that don't work that help me become lucid
usually fly around for hours being chased by something in the air.. without being fully lucid but sometimes I remember to just turn around and face it and it disappears sometimes but not always, feels kinda evil... weird stuff

oh man yeah you summed up my dream state so well
i def know that feel when you get so excited it wake you up
it's just like DAMN IT! and go back to sleep. i've gotten good at being able to fall back into dreams though as long as i manage to fall back asleep before i dwell on the moment.

I had a lucid dream recently where I was looking at my self in a mirror, very fascinating stuff. It totally didn't look anything like me, my face seemed to be composed of a myriad of different parts of different peoples face constantly in flux, very loosely representing my face. Somewhat like those animations that cycle through different faces, or the suit that Keanu Reeves character wears in A Scanner Darkly to conceal his identity. Kind of like this, but as it changed it was constantly loosely representing my face.

And I will concur with spinning or looking around keeping one in the dream longer. For me it seems to "ground me" within the dream much more so. I've been lucid dreaming since I was about 5, but only recently have I realized this works, this past week. I didn't hear about it, I just caught my self looking around a lot in a lucid dream while I could feel my self on the verge of waking up, and so as long as I was constantly looking at something different I remained immersed in the dream.
I also experience the same stuff with clocks & time on digital things. When I'm semi-lucid and disoriented, (aware, but not fully aware I'm in a dream) looking at clocks or the time on a phone is one of the most confusing things ever. I've spent what felt like very long periods of time staring at and analyzing a clock or a phone in my dream, desperately trying to read the time and figure out why the display is all fucked .

Believe it or not, meditation on MDMA is quite something, at least for myself. So much so I always try to use some time to have a short meditation session while rolling. One would think mdma would make the mind hard to concentrate or keep from jumping around, but for myself it's so very easy to slip deeply into thoughtless awareness. MDMA has actually helped me with lasting focus and concentration in my daily life, more so than any other "drug", and that aspect crosses over into my psychedelic experiences and my ability to remain calmly focused when needed.
Anyway...not to keep on rambling. But to relate to and get back to the thread subject. Meditation and lucid dreaming both take a very similar approach for me, being what I call "passively aware". Being aware of what's happening and going on, but be passive, just observe. It's so very fascinating, the moments in dreams where I can literally watch my thoughts construct the dream right before me. There is no separation from my thoughts and what is occurring in the dream, it's like a feed back loop.

Actually...since it's mentioned...I was having sleep paralysis a few years ago and was being "attacked" by an "entity" of sorts, a some what common theme/occurrence with sleep paralysis. Except this time around instead of the common feeling of being choked or sat on, it felt like I was being sodomized by the thing , one of the more bizarre things I've experienced, woke up really confused .
I've also had encounters with what I suppose some people would call a succubus, during a few sleep paralysis experiences.
All of these things I encountered before I heard about them or knew people actually experienced shit like this. I seem to be incredibly susceptible to all sorts of "sleep" related phenomena, always have been.

^^^^ lol. The ol' mirror. Yep, on my first lucid dream I looked into the mirror & I was my normal self, however, my eyes were fackin' huge. My iris was green with what looked to be symbols imprinted in them, and huge ass pupils. Kinda freaked me out at first. Also, I couldn't focus on looking at my computer chair & everytime I even made the slightest eye movement the chair would spin and move to a different spot.
& Yeah, I've experienced the 'succubus' entity as well. Cool stuff, mang.

Highly Recommend this video for anyone looking deep relaxation. I've never been able to astral project from this but have some amazing physical sensations from it.

The the old hag/succubus isn't good, it is worse than your worst bad trip on LSD/shrooms
at least my experience with it was(full hallucinations), before I learned to face my fears
now I only see shadows mostly when I'm about to separate, but they still feel evil they usually leave
is the risk of sleep paralysis bad trip worth it for lucid dreaming? I think it is, but SP bad trip can be as life changing bad as any bad trip on psychedelics but only if you let it scare you - I was 12 at the time remember it like it was yesterday, it's 15 years ago
A good lucid dream on the other hand feels better than the best psychedelic experience I've had, better visuals too - but not always very meaningful right away/if at all the thing I really like about it, is how refreshed you feel after it, like you just slept 3 years, in 3 hours... renewed energy like you never felt it before, body feels good
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_paralysis , kinda interesting with 'around the world ' section pretty common phenomen, didn't know it was common until I researched when I was 20 or so but fits my experience 99%, full hallucination demon that you can hear and feel come into your room and sit on you

In haiti their boogey man is a dark figure who comes in during sleep paralysis and molest you! Whether that means annoy or sexual molestation I'm not sure.

My original plan was to try and astral project but I honestly just got into this type of stuff so I figured i'd just let the meditation engulf me.
This is the weirdest feeling ever.. I tried this a few days ago with the same feelings as a result. I'd get into it and the deeper I get into it, the stronger it feels.
It feels like i'm spinning, robotic, 1 million pounds and vibrations. It's similar to the symptom when your sick with a fever. You feel... big but small at the same time, spinning, robotic, ect. it's just weird man.
The only thing that concerns me is.. I don't want these feelings to stick forever. I hope it's not a hazard to my mental health because I do like this whole meditation thing but if this is the case then I aint gonna be able to keep this up. When I first just came back to from this event, I still felt it while moving around! It seems to be subsiding but I still feel it.. ugh.. I wanted to go deeper in this too but I got woken up :/
Anybody else ever feel so weird while doing this??? Or am I doing this wrong??
Meditation shouldnt feel weird man. Whats your method?

It's definitely an odd sensation I once meditated for an hour, and spontaneously astral projected into a grove that I had been subconsciously creating...met a strange dude named Draco in all white.. copies of myself dressed in white hunched over computer control panels; strange stuff

reminds me of the movie primer

My iris was green with what looked to be symbols imprinted in them, and huge ass pupils. Kinda freaked me out at first. Also, I couldn't focus on looking at my computer chair & everytime I even made the slightest eye movement the chair would spin and move to a different spot.
& Yeah, I've experienced the 'succubus' entity as well. Cool stuff, mang.

I experienced the succubus earlier this week, had sex with her, and then some like dream guards drug her away from me after she became all demon-like.

I've not read the thread, only OP... I'm currently taking a more serious and active approach to meditation.. as a recovering drug addict I must say that it is doing wonders for helping me centre myself and my mental and physical health (both reciprocate each other).
I've played around with meditation for the last few years.. I had a peak experience whilst meditating on ketamine and was completely unprepared for what I got myself into (I'm a ketamine addict, for the record). Basically as I was unprepared for the experience, as I got to the deepest point I've ever got to, a brilliant light started to emerge, this snapped me back to reality and I had a full blown panic attack (never had one before) and I'm fairly sure if I didn't get it under control I would have died (this was the catalyst for my urge to sort my life out and address my addictions).
The day after it happened, I stumbled across this piece of text The Basic Method of Meditation by Ajahn Bramavamso. Normally I'd just click stumble again and look at pictures of cats, but something compelled me to read it.. It seriously changed my whole perspective on meditation.
To surmise, if you're going to play with your body & mind, it greatly helps if you build upon a solid foundation (aka, read that link ^ ).
