as a kid i always felt the vibrating when id go to take a nap and wonder what the hell was going on. Recently i decided to just let go and let it happen after reading about astral projection. last night i finally did it. I rolled right out of my body onto the floor. The first thing i noticed was the heat of someones hands as if they were behind me and there arms were over my shoulders and down on my stomach. As if i was sitting in there lap. they then whispered did it take you long to get out? chills went all about me and i shot back into my body terrified. Are there always gunna be entities waiting for me? and will this affect my life in the pysical realm example: me seeing ghosts and crap all the time. this experience is overwhelming yet I am drawn to it.
I recommend facing the fear and taking a look at what is holding you. I know exactly what you mean, I often keep my eyes closed in sleep paralysis out of fear that I might see something scary, but when you just face the fear you see theres nothing to be scared of. When I was on ritalin, the kind of sleep paralysis I used to get was different, I would instantly get this sense of pure dread, like something was terribly wrong, that kept scaring me so bad that I would pull myself out of paralysis straight away. It got to the point where I was sick of running from it, so I just stayed there to see what was so bad and after about a minute, the sense of terror completely vanished and everything was fine, I could then drift into a lucid dream and have fun. That saying "theres nothing to fear but fear itself" couldn't be more true when it comes to sleep paralysis. Its the fear itself thats scary, not the sleep paralysis. If these things are actually spirits, then they're all around us anyway, so we're not really in any greater danger when we can see them. I understand 100% though, I'm not scared of real life dangerous situations, but the idea of ghosts and spirits have scared me ever since I was a kid. Sleep paralysis and OBEs are truly a blessing because they enable me to face that fear head on.
BTW my dad is a hardcore occultist, and he showed me this thing he called "the lesser banishing ritual of the pentagram", which he said rids the area of any lesser beings (as in evil spirits) on the astral level. I didn't believe in any of this stuff back then so I thought it was hilarious him saying this with a serious look on his face, but after having OBEs, I'm more open minded. I recently looked into it, and found this article:

there are other things I've read about over the years too, like orgonite. Supposedly it makes the area uninhabitable to evil things from other dimensions. I don't know if I believe in any of this stuff, but I had a strange experience (I woke someone up when I was in an OBE, and the next day they said they woke up and saw me hovering above their bed the night before) which gives me good reason to be more open minded about this stuff.
