    Sure. The biggest danger is if you do not ensure that you're grounded in some capacity before you attempt to do an astral projection. There needs to be something that pulls your energy back into your body back into the room where you are.

    According to people who write about these experiences, they have similar “core experiences.” However, sleep paralysis is often a scary and unpleasant experience, if you realize that this is what you’re experiencing rather than astral projection. It can be made worse by imagining that malevolent beings are around you and threatening to harm you but you cannot get away. So, while sleep paralysis may be a state that aids astral projection for some people, the subjective experience of each is quite different.

    Binaural beats are reported to be helpful by many people who try astral projection. Some of them feel that the binaural beats relax them and help them to achieve complete mind and body relaxation or meditative state needed for an out-of-body experience. However, you’ll need to experiment with this yourself as it doesn’t help everyone and in any case, it is just one possible way among several that will help you relax sufficiently before the experience.

    If you’re performing it somewhere unsafe and someone sees you’re not paying attention, you could be a target for robbery or worse. However, apart from that, there really are no more dangers than going to sleep in your cozy bed every night. There are numerous myths about it, like being about to sever your energy link to kill you or invading your physical body while you’re astrally projecting but these are not real things that actually happen, so they’re not something to be concerned about.

    Since I am out of my body during astral projection, can any other soul enter my body?

    No, because of the cord leading you to your body. You also can't enter other people's bodies because of their silver cord. Even if they got as far as tricking the cord into thinking that your body was theirs, they still wouldn't be able to get in. This is because they can't imagine themselves into thinking you are them.

With enough practice you can simply think of a person, dead or alive, or a place, and be projected there while in the astral realm.

    Can I have sex with a sleeping person while I am astro projecting?

    That would be awesome if nobody got hurt or their spiritual, physical or legal rights were not violated in any way. At any rate, what you are describing is an erotic dream and that's perfectly legal.
