HI! This may be a silly question but I'm rather confused.

I have had an expirience many times where I feel like I'm astral projecting, BUT I'm totally conscious, semi- conscious, or I become consious quite often. It's usually always when i'm going to sleep or in some cases I'm becoming conscious from sleep. For some reason, I thought that you only astral projected in your sleep and you hardly ever remember it, or if you do remember it it's like a dream. But I can actually think to myself.. "Oh my God , I'm projecting." Sometimes I can even will myself not to go...

Is this even astral projecting at all or something else?? Maybe etheric projecting? I'm really stumped here so any help would really be wonderful.
