Fear to sleep.

[Questioner]

Hello,long time AP lurker,barely post.

I have been on and off with OBE's,have tried feeling chi(i think i have had success with it.)

Anyways,one night i had woken up with my t.v on.After about 15 minutes of failed attempts to go to sleep,i finally relaxed enough and feel myself drifting to sleep.As i layed there,i thought i may get a chance to do a lucid dream.Just than,a fear came over me,like i was going to die.I immediately woke up,and after some more unsuccesful attempts to sleep,i blacked out and slept the rest of the night.

So my question is this.What do you think scared me into not going to sleep?

Fear of the unknown?

You mean fear of what i might dream?

You said it yourself.  You felt like you were going to die. I used to fear the same thing when I started doing OOBEs.

I have been in your position. And excactly how stookie put it is Fear of the unknown. When you project or in process of it your astral awareness senses heighten and sometimes you can even hear voices or your chakra opening up. I do get scared of what im about to experience but when you project often and overcome your fears you will get used to it.

Thank you for the responses.
Since i don't feel like starting another thread to put it in,i'll just go ahead and ask here.

Why is it that sometimes i can't see in my dreams.Happened to me last night,cept that when i opened my eyes it was different from my dream scenery,looked like my bedroom except it was sunny outside and thier were different colors.
I was standing on my bed,and didn't feel the same as in my dreams.
