Denied access to spirit guide?

[Astral316]

Last night before sleep I did some meditation/energy work, figuring I'd wake up later in the morning and project... well I fell asleep and went straight into the vibrations. My instinct was to try to wake up immediately because the intent wasn't there... after a while of struggling to free myself of paralysis I gave up and went into projecting... I remembered a prior intent to meet my spirit guide when I was brought to this strange video-game like message... I haven't played video games in years but it was like when you're playing an RPG game and approach a civilian or w/e... and in the bottom of the screen it shows the guy's face in a box and next to that a message, such as information to progress in the game, etc. Well the face in the smaller box was this older man's with grey hair and moustache/goatee. I forgot the message but remember it sort of creeped me out... I thought... well this sure as hell ain't my spirit guide. It came complete with video game-like music as well. Could it have been a message denying my access to a spirit guide? I've had several OBE experiences so far and out of the few times I've requested my spirit guide no entity presented itself. Is this normal? Some insight is appreciated.

Okay this morning I projected again and called out for my spirit guide... I think I was in some bedroom (could've been mine but it didn't feel like it) when this guy in a black Egyptian-type headpiece comes out of a closet and tries to grab me. WTF? Is it so hard to find some assistance? I spent the rest of the OBE jumping up and down on one of those ground-level trampolines... but yeah, I'm convinced I don't have a spirit guide.

I used to have some experiences like those back when I was first starting (even the video game type stuff), and it might be caused by one of two things:

1) If you're having spontaneous OBEs during the hypnopompic state (i.e. immediately after waking, while you're still disoriented), you can have experiences that seem a lot like dreams, because you're not fully "back" from the astral (where you had the dreams) yet. If that's the case, you could find other ways to project, or just go with it and enjoy projecting to the astral rather than the RTZ. This still happens to me occasionally.

2) When OOB, a lack of mental self-control can cause things to change or appear wrong. Just get some more practice quietening your mind and notice things rather than actively think about them.

Something else that might help is if you pay close attention to your state of mind while separating. The first separation puts you in the etheric body which you can explore the etheric plane / RTZ / physical clone in, and I think this is what you want. If you pay close attention you may notice a second separation, and that will put you in the astral body, which doesn't hang around in the RTZ, but prefers dream-like worlds.
