I Can't Control My Astral Projections.

It's taken me a very long time to realize what I've been going through was what you call a out of body experiences. I've experienced sleep paralysis many times, and I can feel ACTUALLY FEEL my astral body coming out of my physical sometimes. I've done a lot of research to be sure to call what I'm experiencing astral projection. In my projections I am conscious. I can think, talk, and do whatever. Yet a lot of times its just bits and pieces I can remember when I open my eyes. Its the oddest thing cause there I am doing whatever I'm doing in the projection remembering everything I've done yet the moment I open my eyes almost all of its erased. I have to think hard to remember what happened. I know a lot of its missing and there's so many blanks in my memory. I've had times where I go in and out of my projection and sometimes I can stop myself from going back to my physical body. I feel like I have this whole life yet I barely remember any of it. I read the stories here and they seem to so in control of their astral bodies and project so easily. I guess my question is how can I gain more control of my astral projections? I astral project almost every night but I've never purposely done it on my own its always when I'm about to sleep. I have so many stories yet they're hindered by the fact I can't control my projections nor have a proper way of remembering them. It was nice finding this site because I've questioned myself so many times thinking I'm just crazy, but seeing all these people who go through the same thing makes me feel hopeful. I appreciate any help! Thank you!
