I've experienced lucid dreaming before but I've mostly been getting sleep paralysis which leads to astral projection. I really want to learn not to be afraid and how to control these experiences. I haven't been trying to make them happen but they just do and it's making me feel like I'm cursed. They stopped for a while and I was glad because I could finally fall asleep in peace but last night it happened again. I was so terrified by the experience that I couldn't help but cry. I've hallucinated many times and felt myself disconnect from my body. I can't always tell if I'm astral projecting or if it's a lucid dream. Anyhow, hello and I hope this forum can help.
