Astral projection

[Redtailhawk1]

Hi everyone! I am wondering if any of you have experienced astral projection and, if so, was it as scary as it seems when it first starts to happen? I lucid dream a lot, and actually enjoy that, but when I feel my soul start to lift or sink (hard to describe to feeling) out of my body I freak out and make myself wake up. This doesn't happen nearly as often as lucid dreaming, but I was wondering what would happen if I gave in to this feeling. If you have any advice would you please share it? It would be neat to try astral projection if it is safe. Thanks!
