For some time I've had bothersome dreams featuring rowdy  characters although some might have been real entities.  Often they are at my door and I will kick and yell at them until I wake up.  However I have been reading about sending love to these astral types when encounterd so the other night I was dreaming there was somebody outside my bedroom window mowing my yard who then wanted to be paid.  I said I didn't ask him to mow the yard but then he was in the house with a couple others.  Then partially lucid I guess I just went up to them all and said 'I project God's love to you'  I said that a few times and then as consciousness faded I realized they were gone.  I haven't had any such dreams since then so I'm wondering if this dream episode had some bigger effect than just that one dream.  And I'm trying to see if there are any other ways to crack open the door to astral projection that might be similar to the way this dream worked.   

If everything went so easy...

Hello deric:

Do you have some fear of unfriendly entities? I used to have quite a bit of such fear and my higher self/spirit guidance worked it out so I had a lot imaginary experiences (including dreams) with unfriendly beings. Having such experiences played a key role in overcoming my fear.

I've found that sending unfrienly beings love can be helpful. It has also become very clear to me while having experiences with both imaginary and actual unfriendly beings that it is completely up to us to decided what kind of person/being we want to be. It sounds like you want to be a person who lives according to love. That's key. :)

It is probably true that all souls need to eventually reach the point where they realize that they don't have to be afraid of anything. Perhaps such knowledge is a goal your soul is seeking during this incarnation.

I believe it is key to point out that our higher selves/guidance wouldn't arrange for us to have experiences that help us get over our fear of unfriendly beings if they (higher self/guides) didn't believe that we don't need to be afraid (as long as we choose a positive away of being and use our discrimination).
