Astral Protection

[Sirius]

Pardon my naivety, early morning thoughts and if possible point me towards some good reads about this topic astral projection and astral protection....
Is it easier to enter the "vibrational state" dreaming while asleep and access the "astral" plane?
Is an astral plane like another dimension? or is it just us being able to access levels of mind our consciousness that are normally not accessible 
Is there a telepathic aspect? 
Is it all connected?

So glad you popped in, some do encounter entities others do not. 

Well the good reads are all right here on DI and ATS. I found it best to talk to real people in places like this.

The vibrational state, it just comes with relaxing I don't know what to tell you. I don't even have to relax any more, can go there whenever I want. Here is a method, it's basically Monroe's technique. https://denyignorance.com/Thread-Zero-assist-guide-to-OBE-s

Is there a telepathic aspect? Yes or if there is a difference I wouldn't be able to tell you.

Is it all connected? another dimension? Also what I want to know and 50% of the reason this thread exists, learning about the dangers people find or not may give us a clue.
