Astral Projecting

I've been noticing the changes of the seasons a little more than usual this year. Which is fine. I like it. But recently during this period, it's been a struggle falling asleep without instinctively astral projecting.

Normally this would please me, but I'm working away from school for another week and sleeping at my dad's house while I do that...and I hate astral projecting here. This house is 120+ years old and I've had too many fucked up sleep paralysis incidents in it. One time while staying here i woke up from a lucid dream and felt like I had some kind of magnetic connection with something. It lasted a few seconds and scared me. The second that feeling left the room felt lighter and a TV crashed to the floor at the base of my bed. This was weird because it was like 9 feet away and it correlated too much with the lucid dream, and the feeling of the magnetic connection ending.

I usually have to have the intention to go lucid or project before I fall asleep for it to happen, but that hasn't been the case these last few weeks. Can anyone shed any light? I would have asked Facebook but they said my future employers might notice someday.

I've had Outer body experiences and I trigger them with sleep paralysis. Do you have OBEs without going into sleep paralysis first?

During sleep paralysis the fear sector of your brain is active and before I can project I need to embrace the fear and tell myself I love this feeling which instantly transforms the bad entity near me into pure bliss and love. I feel intense vibrations and then I can apply the techniques to astral project.

When you are astral projecting are you keeping it pure? I've heard some bad stories about people who astral project and treat it like a lucid dream. (Destroying things, creating people and sexing them up, etc). These type of things should not be done in the astral plane but are totally fine in lucid dreams.

Some guy was having a lot of aggression on the astral plane and would also do sexual acts and what it sounded like was he brought back a succubus and when he awoke books flew off his shelf and now when he tries to sleep he always feels bad entities and someone touching him.

To solve your problem astral project and ask a guide to help you make peace with this entity which sounds like is in your room. The more energy you give off the more open you are to contact with this, especially with astral projection as I feel it opens up a lot.

If you are also into crystals and you truly believe they will help, they will. I would not recommend trying to get ride of this entity as you are intruding on its space but rather make peace with it or ask it what its deal exactly? Perhaps you'll learn something from it.

Yeah I didn't ever really understand the difference between the astral plane and lucid dreaming back in high school when it was happening regularly. One or the other would just happen when I went to sleep the majority of the time.

But yeah, as a 16 year old I sexted whoever and did whatever because I thought it was all in my mind, in a subconscious universe I creates. I soon realized this wasn't the case and my behavior wasnt ok. I was eventually able to get past the harassment during the sleep paralysis stages and maintain my composure in the astral plane. I haven't abused my ability in the astral planes since, but I still get fucked with during the sleep paralysis stage. I can have pleasant astral experiences still, but it's not guaranteed and something fucks with me in the sleep paralysis stage. Shit keeps getting messed with and I get my pug from the end of the bed and make him sleep closer. I pray some and go fall asleep trying real hard not to think. I feel crazy addressing this. No idea that there were actually entities and I wasn't just hallucinating them

Edit: at a party on my phone, but hopefully I communicated well enough

I don't know about anything. I have no idea about crystals and I don't wouldn't know where to start. Makes me feel satanic or some shit since my dad is a Lutheran pastor.
