deep physical relaxation is the answer according to Lobsang Ramper.
Dear Cactuar
In the 1950s Lobsang Ramper wrote that you will know when you are close to entering a very high and deeply spiritual plane because these are protected.
No matter how advanced and holy a person is, they all get the same treatment, as they ascend into a high astral plane.
He wrote that elementals are trained and placed in the perimiter. Their job is to be very scary and very disgusting. They attack "every" entity who ascends to the high astral planets. But they can't actually do damage.
They successfully keep out the rifraf.
Lobsang wrote that if you are suddenly accosted by ugly faces and screamers and disgusting things, just relax through it, because you are very close.
They wont hurt you. But it will never get any easier. Only relaxing and loving, (or ignoring) them will get you past them.
An unevolved cannot relax enough to pass through and instead find themself waking from a nightmare.
"Deep relaxation" in the key to accessing the love, (and patience) needed to get through to the higher astral planes.
And Lobsang claimed that even the highest Lamas see them as they, (nightly) ascend. So give up the notion that there is any thing wrong with you that you keep having nightmares when you astral travel.
Practice deep relaxation till you can remember to do it in your nightmare. Then, it is just a matter of time before you float through it and gain admittance to heavenly places where the unevolved can't reach.
