I first heard about astral projection and lucid dreaming in about 2012, and ever since then I've been attempting. 

Fast forward to early 2020, I'd basically given up at that point but at some point my thoughts and memories started beign exposed to the outside world. Shortly afterwards I could feel that someone or something had begun listening, and even started actively invading my brain in order to steal thoughts. I could feel them modifying them as well and even putting entirely new thoughts into my brain in order to try to control me.

Any time I figured out who they were they'd cause my train of thought to stop and remove the memory

By the middle of the year they realised they couldn't make me do what they wanted so they started trying to ensure I would remain silent by torturing me. I'm not sure if I was somehow transported to an adjacent reality they had control over, or just had something similar to dreams superimposed over reality, but they started subtly changing reality and nudging the behaviour of the people around me.

My memory from that point on is blurry and I honestly can't remember when they went away or really anything beyond a few days ago that clearly anymore.

I'm scared to sleep at night now because that's when I'm at the full mercy of my brain which I know now isn't secure.

I'm curious if this could have been caused by some sort of malicious extradimensional entity drawn to my failed attempts at astral projection as it spotted an easy target. 

Attached video is one that I remember from when I first found out about Astral Projection

Why does the dream world look so depressing/ugly/terrifying?? 
Could this be that it's 'one step down' closer to h3ll maybe?
