Not many have this privilege or curse of Astral projecting or out of body experience in other words. I too had only a few times but then I prayed to God to stop it because when I did astral projected, I went into the dark side of the world rather the spiritual side. That is the main problem with these things. You never know what you encounter until you do. The worst thing, if you are not brave enough or smart enough, you might be trapped, FOREVER.
Astral projection is nothing but your astral (roaming) body getting out of your physical body to wander around several dimensions. those dimensions are called "Astral realm". This is very amazing and important experience for people to have to gain more spirituality but comes with some associated risks such as you never know what you will encounter when you astral project. There are entities out there that wait to possess your astral body and travel with you into your reality. Best way to explain this is the movie "insidious". Watch part 1 and you will understand what I'm talking about. This movie's main premise is astral projection.
I was not so young when I first had this sort of experience but I guess I was a teen. I woke up from a deep sleep and looked around and everything looked so new, calm and dark than usual. I kept wandering to find where I was and after sometime I figured that i was in my entrance of the house. I wondered whatt was I doing at that time of house and came back to my room to my horror to see myself sleeping on the bed alongside my parents. I screamed and no one heard or woke up. I went close and even checked If I were dead. But i was breathing. Out of body experience is not new to Hindu culture, so being a Hindu, I knew what happened and went into another room. That was not my house. I was surprised but started walking aimlessly.
After a while, I came near a highway, looked back and there was home, alone in that entire vicinity. I saw a little boy sitting in the middle of the highway. I was scared but then thought he was astral projecting too and went close. The boy looked at me and before I could ask anything, he said "She will die too, please help her. She will die too, pls help her". I asked "who are you? what are you doing here?". The only reply he gave, "she will die too, please help her". I again asked, "who wil die, who will kill her?" .. he said, "she will die too, please help her" and pointed his right hand towards a tree far in distance. I looked at that tree and found nothing near it but saw a black goth like shadow sitting on one of the branches of the tree. I jerked off and fell on the road and suddenly the boy was nowhere to be found and so as the black shadow too. I ran back towards my house and to my room and lay on top of my physical body and determined to wake up. I do not know how much time after, I woke up to a horrible migraine that resulted because of the musical instruments that were playing near my house in an irritating way. When i asked my mom about it, she said "the little girl in that house passed away because of her prolonged illness last night. They are conducting her funeral. I feel so sad for the Mother to lose another child in the span of 4 years"
"Another child???" I dared to ask, but couldn't......
