Hello everyone. I'd like to explaine something that happended to me a couple of days ago.

I wake up early in the morning at about 6am and make myself fully awake. I put on Robert Monroeâ€™s hemi-sync CD, lie on my back in bed and attempt to put myself into a trance.

Some time passes and I briefly fall asleep only to awake. I feel a huge crushing pressure on my face and head like an enormous paving slab is covering the top half of my body. I also feel like I canâ€™t breathe. The fear that Iâ€™m going to be sucked out of existence enters my mind and I eventually fall into dream sleep.

How close was I to an OBE? How do I quell the fear? If I just went along with it and went deeper, would I project?
Iâ€™d really appreciate some words of comfort and advice. Thereâ€™s no one in the real world I can talk to about this stuff.

Thanks.

I believe you had what is known as 'sleep paralysis' and maybe a 'dweller experience'. The crushing sensation was probably due to astral feedback from your own projected double. If you take a look at the AD Pedia the 'dweller effect' is explained there. (There's a link to it in my sig.)
The fear is something that is quite visceral and not due to any 'thinking'. The only way I've been able to fight it is to turn it into anger- an atavistic thing. If you can, move 'into' the fear, instead of 'away from' it. This can help you complete a separation and then get away from your physical body. But if you're stuck in, feel anger, do as deep breathing as you can, and wiggle your big toe. This breaks the paralysis and fully integrates your projecting double and ends the feedback.
I've been there many times, so I can relate.
