Similar by me when I do LD. I concentrated on LD more recently, because I'm trying dream sharing(no success till now) and I'm now able to have 1-4 LDs a week. However my LDs resembling my OBEs(astral projection, mental projection). I don't exert much will into changing environment because it tend to destabilize dream reality. It is not as profound as in OBE though. I mean, dream is a fantasy, why when I visualize creating portal, or something it throws me out of dream?I feel perfectly fine if I do nearly nothing to adjust dream reality. I can run very fast(like 100km on tens of second) but when I try to fly in such speed something either throws me out(when I force imagination) or I fly slowly(about 20km/h when I don't force it). In OBE(astral) I usually fly at speeds of few tens of km/h, but sometimes I can somehow deform spacetime continuum and can fly at speeds of hundreds of Lightyears per second... And that without imagining it.
I don't think that this is so important. There are differences between OBE and LD and because I was concentrated on OBE(astral projection), I left out the whole imagination thing, as to not affect astral reality. Therefore I'm doing similar things, have similar mindset in doing both.
Sleep paralysis while pleasant, it is not necessary in either LD or OBE. My first OBE scared me too... for a moment. But I lost fear of it fast and tried to duplicate experience soon after first one. Death doesn't scary me, it is a process of dying which could be scary. Once out of body, in astral, I'm indifferent of being dead... More often than not I'm thinking as to not going back, but it is not possible to stay.
Remember, you don't have to be scared of anything. Be concentrated. Don't use thoughts, instead try to think by feelings. Try to be only observer. Observe that snakes
or other things, like you are seeing them in TV... Don't be attached to what you feel or see. Your imagination is what is destroying astral reality or adds imagined things.
I think there is faint line between LD and AP(OBE) and that line is imagination, fantasy... I had a few LDs where whole feeling changed from this is a dream to I'm out of body, this is not a dream. But it is hard to change things once imagined.
