sometimes cant get my astral body back into body

You stay out too long. Hahaha I would pay to have your "problem". You can learn to control it so you wont be dragged. Until then, dragging wont hurt you.

I don't think it is probably "dangerous", but I would not advise attempting to project while not feeling well or under the influence of any "substances" personally.  I believe any projections you attempt when you are not at your "best" and most "clear" are much more likely to be tainted by negativity in one way or another.  Note that this does not necessarily seem to apply to people who are seriously ill who spontaneously project.  For me, it seems the process of consciously attempting to project uses up some of my energy, and for this reason alone I think it may not be a good idea when your body needs that energy to heal itself or rid itself of toxins you may have ingested.

I have never personally experienced trouble getting back into my body while OBE, but Robert Bruce's book Astral Dynamics discusses this in some depth.  It's worth reading the full book for many reasons, but essentially he sais that not being able to reintegrate with the physical body only seems to happen when your physical body has fallen into a deep sleep.  (Is it ok to give information contained in a book, or am I violating copyright by doing this?)

It is most likely the alcohol in your body that hindered your "return". The alcohol made your body sleepier than normal, making it harder for it to wake up, which is why you had trouble waking it up.

If it violated copyright laws by doing so this entire forum would have to be shut down as almost everything in Astral Dynamics is talked about on this forum. It is fine to talk about what is in books, paraphrase, and quote as long as the source of the information is mentioned. If you post an entire book without permission, then you might get in trouble.

Today i had one bad experience. Yesterday over long time i had a little drinking with my fiends and today at night i woke up and had a hangover, got up for two ours and went back to sleep. I tried to project but i fell into sleep. I woke up from usual dream into lucid dream and something took me into hold (from bottom half of my body) and in my lucid dream at the street, dragged me slowly underground. That was very unpleasant and bit scary becouse i thought it might be dangerous, and i didnt want to go with that flow as i usually do while projecting.

So i tried to open my eyes and come back but i could not, i tried once more and i was able to open my eyes but then i realized i cant move a muscle and i felt how my astral body was still slowly falling and falling. i was like dead body whos able to see, like in horror movies. I could not hold my eyes open for long time and my consiousness fell back into that dragging and falling thing. Then i collected my strenght and opened my eyes and moved my finger. That didnt help promptly but at last i got back. My body felt exacly like after pretty long astral projection (vapid and tingling) I was sleepy and for a 30 seconds after that i still had the feeling that i will fall back if i close my eyes.

I have had "sleeping paralysis" many times before but i have never felt my astral body while sleep paralysed, is it dangerous ? (i think it is)
