Just the other day, maybe two or three ago I tried to submit this story but the webs submission was delayed until yesterday. So I wrote a story a few months ago about something similar to this and its really something I do not enjoy and have no control over and I need help with it. I have for at least the past 7 years that I am consciously aware of been astral traveling during my first 2 hours of sleep. I was under the impression when I researched it that it takes longer to get to theta (or whichever) sleep stage to actually be under enough to do astral traveling?
A few nights ago I wasn't feeling well and had a headache and decided to sleep it off. I fell asleep but then I looked down at myself from an upward slanted view and saw myself asleep. My arms were numb and my fingers tingling. A presence of some sort grabbed me and performed every act of mistreatment on me possible I tried to scream but I had no voice we fought in my room I tried to get away the door was just out of my reach. It felt so real, this happened once more about this time last year. Then I just dreampt weird things after that like my divorced parents lived together and were younger looking all the rooms in the house were dark I tried to turn on the lights but the light switch was melting and I fell to my knees crying and screaming. Then my father came to yell in my ears I heard his words ringing in my hears when I woke up. I had only been asleep about 2-2.5hours total. The last time I had bad things happen to me in the beginning of astral travel I only slept a few minutes short of 3hours, is there a connection between those things happening and the timing? What causes this and how can I prevent it? I don't astral travel on purpose it just happens while I sleep. I don't know what to do?
Remember, light and love are your best defenses.
Also, when you're in the astral realm, remember that your negative thoughts actually attract darkness and dark energy to you. Embrace astral travel and enjoy it for what it is! Visit different places across the Earth, or even family or friends across the country. If you embrace it with positivity, then you will only receive positive energy from the astral realm. Also, if you feel anything negative pulling at you, then your body will immediately pull your astral body back into it.
Remember this for real life too. You receive as much positive energy as you put out. If you are negative, then you will only receive negativity.
Good luck!
