There's a specific race of demonic entities in a specific plane slightly different from the astral plane, I call them sleep demons. Some of you may have already experienced them. They're the ones who cause those realistic fear filled nightmares or the beings that people during sleep paralysis see. If your one of the unlucky ones, it happens to you every night.
Astral projection works differently depending on your state of mind, for example when your about to fall asleep or when you just wake up. These demons can seem physical and touch you during this state of mind and its amplified during sleep paralysis. Their energetic attacks force you to feel fear and they then eat the energy that fear produces. Their also really weak to light which is why they mostly appear at night.
They can cause things like making you depressed and suicidal overtime, plus the lack of sleep you'd get would also affect your brain. Their also the ones that you feel standing behind you or see pass in the corner of your eye.
I've been harassed by them since I was born. I remember when I was younger waking up from terrible nightmares every night screaming and crying till my mother had to calm me down. Sometimes I would even see them as a physical being sitting next to me or running across the room.
Not to long after learning astral projection I had a bad nightmare about them, the first one since I had know all of this was real. They were in my dream and stood there under a bedsheet oozing fear magic onto me. I woke up shaken from fear even though realistically there was nothing to be scared about because its not like I saw them and they were scary or that my life was in danger.
They were some of the first beings I saw out of dreams while astral projecting and I was so confused as to why I couldn't attack them. Since their plane is different to the normal astral plane, their energetic bodies were made of a different frequency of energy to that of what I was used to. I had to learn how to phase energies to different plane frequencies which came in handy in the future.
When you astral project, you share your consciousness between your physical and astral body. If you project in front of a mirror and shift your consciousness into the reflected version of the astral body you enter what I call the mirror plane. The mirror plane is a dimension filled with entities similar to that of the sleep demons, except they don't do anything. They just stand there being creepy watching you.
Some beings that do not originate from there can move around and attack you like regular demons though so its wise to be careful. Some of the high level mirror demons also develop sentience and can do more than just stand around. There's this one mirror demon lady in my bathroom who learnt the fear magic of the sleep demons so every time I turn the bathroom light off I get hit with it and the mirror faces me when I walk to the exit so I just have to see her standing there with a creepy grin.
When it comes to dreams there are 2 different kinds. Normal dreams produced by your brain and dream plane dreams. The dream plane's energy mechanisms is completely different from the astral plane so I cant cheat and transfer over astral energy, its like learning a new form of magic from scratch
When in the dream plane there are sometime events based on what your doing in the dream. I call these dream quests. Quests can vary from climbing a mountain to fight a rock troll or running a race before a tsunami destroys the country. These quests have one thing in common though and that's the dream artifact they give.
Dream artifacts can be classified into two types, passive and active. The most common are the passive relics which increase your capacity of dream energy. The active ones require dream energy to activate such as strength boosts or advanced abilities like dream walking, which is just crossing over into someone else's dream.
Dream energy can be used to increase the vividness of dreams as well as the length of time. For example you can remember being in a dream continuously for hours while only being asleep for minutes.
I've only recently began dwelling in dream magic so ill update this when I learn more
