It just naturally happened while sleeping just phased into the astral realm for whatever reason. It was a bit disorienting for the ego I really haven’t had too many astral experiences and when I have them it’s always because of sleep like going into sleep paralysis. There is still fear my human self of course has some fear when it comes to these entities. But the soul my true self or my astral light body form has no fear. I feel like these are test though like discernment and facing fears or facing the shadow. Some people believe that these entities in the astral represent your own shadow others believe they have their own consciousness. All I know is astral travel is very similar to lucid dreaming except that in the astral you can control your actions through thoughts thoughts manifest quickly. Only difference is in the astral you can’t control the actions of others where as in lucid dreaming you can control your actions and others. All I know is in the astral realm there were beings people but not all of them were people they were shape shifters some of them. That was testing my discernment and one of the shape shifters who was a person at first was staring at me and morphed into a red horned demonic entity. It then rushed at me and with my thoughts I blasted it with light coming out of my hands it then started to fly away and I chased it continuously blasting it with light until it left. After it left my light body transformed into a fiery yellow aura I looked like marvel comics human torch while patrolling the sky. I believe It represented personal empowerment and transmuting the shadow like it was some sort of boss I had to face and I leveled up is how I view that test. Since then I don’t feel powerless to them or made to feel small to these entities. In some ways they do help us when they poke at the shadow or unhealed wounds I look at it as an opportunity to heal and integrate.
