Lucid dreaming/astral projection and blowing sensation:
There is a thing that happens to me a lot, especially if I follow the "recipe" for having lucid dreams. I sleep for a while in the evening/early night, wake up for a few hours and go to sleep again. Then I can be dreaming or half dreaming and suddenly I get a hunch that I am dreaming, I just know, and when I figure it out it starts blowing a lot, like I have a lot of wind around me, to stay in the dream I have to fight this wind/blowing sensation. Does anyone know what this is? There is also a sound. I am wondering if it is the start of astral projection? I think I have astral projected before, and I am really scared of doing it again. Or maybe this is just me being aware of the body getting ready to wake up? I often wake up with the sleep paralysis for a few seconds and also the sound. Kind of scary when I am alone.

Always try to be certain that your physical body will have access to fresh air when it is sleeping. Lack of fresh air will increase the incidences of sleep paralysis, because the astral body will get less energy if the physical one is getting stale air, or non-circulated air or air from a dirty duct system.
This is a small detail but it does decrease the incidence of sleep paralysis.
Rooms which have old carpeting, is bad also and contributes to sleep paralysis, if such rooms are closed in, since then bad air is put out from the old rugs which begin to chemically break down with age and which releases pollutants.
Fear of Astral Projection is really unwarranted in most cases. Here is why. The astral body separates out of the physical body anytime the physical body sleeps. This means that since you took birth as this body, that has been going on for so many years already. That means that it is a natural process. It is not your process, no more than sleep is your process. How much of that do you really control?
Astral projection is actually the conscious observation of what the astral body has been doing since it became fused into the sperm particle of the father. Since then, that process of fusing into and separating from this physical body, was going on. So why be fearful of it now?
Suppose I got a gash from a knife wound. Then I go to a physician. He sews it up and then it takes two months to heal leaving a scar. But suppose there was another guy who also got a similar gash but who was given a drug through which he could actually feel inside his body how the cells were healing the wound after it was sewn up on his arm. So he experiences the whole healing process, while I just take it for granted and pay no attention to it. Then he says that he is scared of it.
So it is something like that, the astral body has been separating from the physical body since the physical body was in formation in the parent, and it is doing so now and will continue to do so, regardless of whether you become aware of the process or not. Some persons go through their entire lives and never have one astral projection experience, but that does not mean that their astral form never astral projected. It just means they were never able to observe it, just as I could not observe how cells were healing the wound.
Anyway if you are disinclined to it, then all you have to do is to decrease your psychic sensitivity by becoming more and more materialistic. But if you want to find out about it, the first thing is to understand that it is an observation of a natural process which is already highly developed by nature.
