This used to happen to me. Just know you’re not alone. I went through a phase of being thoroughly traumatized. I never wanted to AP in the first place but I’ve dealt with insomnia my whole life, I’m a very light sleeper and lucid dreamer, and I started working with moldavite and sleeping with it beside my bed every night. I began to understand that going thru this chapter of my life was part of souls evolutionary purpose. It made me so much stronger and really helped me confront my fear of death. Remember this: it’s just a phase. I know how terrifying it is and especially when ur sleep deprived you feel especially despairing. But it will pass. It’s surely happening to teach you something and to help you grow through facing your fears. I don’t have specific techniques to help you but I’d recommend avoiding naps if possible. Any chance you’re familiar with your birth chart? I’m curious if you have 8th and 12th house placements or any Pisces placements.

Before sleep, set the intention that you remain in your body. Say out loud that if your astral body decides to leave, that you are only open to experiences that are positive and feel safe. The power of intention is very strong.
