Questions...

Ok so I had this dream the other night and I've experienced the same type of dreams a lot. I'm just wondering if it's possibly astral projection and how I can stop myself from doing it because it's kinda scary. I always remember my dreams pretty much every night though so it may have just been a dream. Anyways here it is...

I was having anxiety issues as always while I was falling asleep. And then when I fell asleep I was standing by my bed but it was extra dark and I couldn't control by body that well. Like it felt so heavy and tired. I immediately had this feeling something was in this pitch blackness with me and was watching so I panicked and tried to turn my light on but my arms wouldn't listen. I finally pulled my light string but it wouldn't come on. I then panicked and ,this time, got my door open but when I got to my living room it looked really wierd and wasnt as dark as my room but the ability to see scared me because the thought that someone else turned a light on crossed my mind haha and the light wasnt coming from an actual light source i dont think i didnt get to see where it came from and then I was instantly back laying down within the blink of an eye. I thought I was awake and stood up but my body was still heavy it took all I had to stand and I was still in the dark. I actually tried to go into my living room again but couldn't get my door open and when I would I was laying back down. As I said earlier I always remember my dreams and realized maybe I was dreaming and attempted to wake myself up how I usually do but I'd just be laying back down and was still in the darkness. When I finally woke up I had a surge of energy and awareness mixed with the panic that something was there with me watching. Idk it was all so wierd and I've dreamed the same thing with the heavy body that doesn't wanna listen and this feeling of something there with me that I don't want to see. In each dream I've only been able to go so far from my bed and then I'm laying back down. I even had these dreams as a child and only once or twice I was in a lightened place. I'm not sure I believe in astral projection to be honest so I've never thought too deeply about it. But this last time I had the dream something made me more panicked and it's been bothering me for some reason. Idk ha maybe I'm just crazy. Thanks for reading and sorry for writing so much.
