I have been getting "out there" with some regularity since I was very little (as long as I can remember) and I am almost 60 now. Seeing people/spirits walk around my parents room at night scared the poop out of me. I particularly hated it when I pulled the sheets over my head and then I could feel them poking me a little. On reflection I am sure they weren't trying anything but to get my attention.
I started thinking of happy things at night to protect myself (Santa Claus on his sleigh, etc.) Later as I grew older I would carry a white light that surrounded me .. say affirmations, ad nausium.
I finally learned how to get out of a lucid dream (they were lasting so long and at times were very scary.)
My brother and I shared thoughts on how to cope with all these wierd things but for some reason that I don't remember (probably because we weren't that emotionally close to them) we never shared this with our parents as children. We could and did share thoughts during the day (with out speaking) and pretty much thought of all of this as quite normal. Our friends got to expect that strange things might happen around us.
Sorry ... back to the point.
I eventually learned that nothing out there could destroy me. Things might frighten me but usually that was just my reaction to whatever I encountered not its intentions. I am talking now about Astral Travel, OB movement an Lucid Dreams. I now enjoy jumping off high objects and smashing on the ground, getting chomped up by some strange monster like creature or getting shot by "bad" guy. I particularly like the "dying" process. What a trip. The transistions are a blast.
Now I don't even think about protection. It is not needed in my universe. But I realize we all create our own reality. So if you feel the need for protection ... by all means utilize it. Its not better or worse ... just optional. Kind of like suffering. Am I fasting or am I starving?
Sorry for all the rambling..
