3. You need to do the work yourself and educate yourself by reading many great OBE websites. I'm sure I have gave you some links previously.
Just asking a few questions here and there will not answer your questions. Especially, if the answers come from people who have never experienced what you have. No offence to anyone.

4. Astral realm is just like any other place. There are bad and good entities, bad and good places. Just like in any city. Our parents are teaching us how to stay out of trouble from childhood. You have to learn about these new realms, same way, as you would if you were visiting a strange new country. About what to do, what not to do, how to act if something happens.

All this can be found on the OBE websites and some threads in Beyond dreaming. It's a long read, but it will give you information from which you can form your own opinion.

You making it harder on yourself than it needs to be by insisting on WILDing.

Please let me know if you want this moved to Beyond dreaming. Your title says LDing, but your question is more about OBEs? Not sure.
I agree completely with this.
I think the problem is that you are just backing out of it too fast because of one bad experience. Same thing happened with the bus rides and they turned out fine.
Of course you will get those types of responses of a top secret forum. If you went to another forum about communicating with alien entities I'm sure you could have got some compeltely different replies stating how close you were.
Thing is you'll never know how far you got or what you missed out on if you never try.
There is so much to offer from lucid dreaming and AP (if you believe in it) it would be a real shame if you were to give up on it.
