So I never really hear about anyone forming a long lasting relationship with an entity in the astral realm.
Has anyone here ever met an entity in the astral and met them several times thereafter. Or have you met any consistent entities throughout your experience?

If so, lease elaborate in detail

I just had a very amazing experience today. I'll probably elaborate when I get off work, but before I forget, I wanted to ask if anyone else had an astral experience where they tried to go inside their favorite book, or any book for that matter.
What I mean specifically is a novel with a story line. if so, please share your experience. Want to see  how it compares to mine and if something similar happened

It could be anything From scary, to amazing, to good to bad. I would like to hear about some of your experiences with running into an entity while projecting.
Since I'm guessing the Astral plane has a diverse amount of beings inhabiting there, you guys can talk about whatever types you've encountered, whether it was another living human astral projecting, an artificial being, a person who is not alive anymore, an alien, an inter-dimensional being, or maybe even something I've never heard of before.

For anyone with an experience with another being while in the astral (or other) plane, feel free to reply with as much detail as you want.

Specifically speaking, to actually peel away from your body, and to be able to move around in the astral plane.

I haven't been able to actually peel away from my body yet because I usually axe off my attempts because of the strong vibrations I get.
I definitely do understand what people mean when it feels like you're about to die when you project for the first time. A very peculiar feeling indeed. For me, it felt like if I continued, I might become paralyzed for life, because of the increase intensity of vibrations I get the more I intent to leave my body (during the vibrational phase.). Of course I know that's not true. hahaha, but my thought process during the time I have to actually project out is something like "ok. I've made it this far. I'll count this as a success. No need to actually LEAVE my body now. I've got plenty of time". And then I would end my session for the time being.

So I'm curious to hearing you guy's experience leaving your body for the first time. Did you also feel crazy vibrations, or was the transition as smooth as a baby's bottom? Did you think that it was endgame for you? Did you purposely decide to end it several times and then just said "f*ck it" one day and did it? Or maybe you trucked through from the getco?

Hello folks. I've come to a realization that I seem to get my studies and progressions done when I write in a journal and maintain it daily. Therefore, I shall begin to write down all of my experiences with my progressions with Astral projection. I will also list the date and time (eastern, for now) That these events take place, so I can form some sort of organization.

Pre- Journal (Goal/What I've accomplished so far)
--------------------------------------------------------
My goal is to be able to Astral project whenever I want.
My progressions I've made is being able to get to a vibrational state during the daytime or nightime.

More than anything, this journal is a place to post my experience. I don't mind people observing my conclusions, but I am not looking for help or support in this matter. I find it a ton more rewarding to come up with my own conclusions.
So, future viewers, enjoy.

That is all... For now

Hey guys. I'm new here. I was originally planning on experimenting on this situation on my own, but decided to post here as well, just in case there are others who's encountered similar situations. Please read the whole background.

Anyways here's a bit information on my Astral projection endeavors: I started a little less than a month ago, and experienced a semi astral projection (more on that later) during my time practicing. From all of this, I would say that I am on the verge of being able to Astral project on demand. 

The only issue is that literally RIGHT before the vibrations start (in which I would be able to do an exit technique) I start to pant and breathe heavily. This only happens during the "transition" from my deep trance, to a deeper state which causes the vibrations. I seem to blow the whole session up from there onwards.
What I suspect it is is that at the time between my trance and the vibrational state, I can feel my breathing tryimg to put itself on auto-pilot. Whenever I have my focus on my breathing (which I usually do when I notice the shift in the trance) I cant help but to take control of my breathing, when my body has a different idea. As you can tell, this conflict causes unnatural breathing, and I'm guessing this clues my body in on the fact that Im not actually asleep (ending the whole process).

One thing I tried is to just let it happen, but it's pretty difficult whenever I focus on my nose, because letting it happen feel similar to  holding my breath. So after I inevitably begin to breathe conciously, I lose the trance and ultimately am better off starting over.

One thing I have in mind (and I read somewhere on this forum) was to draw your focus onto another part of your body (or, for my case, the technique I use for getting into my trance) and keep on focusing on it until you reach the vibrational state.
Another idea I have is to just keep on entering that "transition" state (and mess up) over and over again until my body gets used to the "transition"and I don't try to override  the automatic breathing. Honestly though, both options seems plausible to me. But there's a difference between theory and experience, and I'll go give them both a try to see which is best for me (same with the tips you guys offer).

The first idea I have in mind holds some value because of one of the experiences I had (the semi ap I briefly talked about earlier): I decided to astral project but fell asleep for a few moments during my trance exercise (For no more than a few minutes, if not a few seconds). When I woke up I was in the vibrational state. while I was not controlling the breathing (it was on auto) I did not have the sense of fighting against it like I do during the "transition" phase I keep talking about. I was able to briefly leave my body and decided to go to an area with a moving train (because I thought the sound would ground me to the astral body) I made it there but was pulled back to my body soon after because it seemed a part of my astral body was still stuck to it. I digress.

What I'm trying to get at is that if I can find a way to get past the breathing thing, I'll be able to move on to the Vibrational phase. Any ideas? have any of you guys been through similar situations? What did you do to get past it? Did you just move your attention from your breath and let your body enter the vibrational state?

P.S  I'm 100% sure this is not sleep apnea. It is just me trying to override my auto breathing mode. For one, I've never had any issues with sleeping, or with snoring.

With that being said all other advice is welcome! I'm glad I signed up to this forum. I will be posting my experiences and techniques after I get a foundation going and able to project on a constant basis.
