Thread: Why does this keep happening to me? Overwhelming wave of fear when trying to astral project.

Last night I was trying to project and I was extremely relaxed for about 20 minutes, and then my body twitched and an overwhelming wave of fear washed over me. It was a feeling of pure terror and my heart started beating really fast. My chest also got heavier and I found it really hard to breathe. It felt like a million pounds of pressure was on my chest. It was the worst feeling in the world... This happens every time I try to astral project. I don't know why it happens...it terrifies me and I don't know how to get it to stop. I don't think it was sleep paralysis because I was still awake. I could still hear the fan in my room and my mom walking around the house.
