Hi, my friend got sleep paralysis. A ghost-like girl entity was floating and laughing. Voices wanted her to leave her body. Saying "dont be scared to leave your body". Her legs and arms felt like they were floating. However, she resisted strongly and then woke up.
She has had sleep paralysis in the past and a few were with some negative entities that grabbed her and acted very aggressively and saying negative violent things.
Question is, is she okay leaving her body? I haven't read alot on astral projection/OBE, so im not sure if there is a danger in it.
Im thinking maybe it may have been her guides or benevolent entities.
She's scared that if she goes along, they will trick and hijack her body. Is that even possible?
I was going to tell her to let go and give it a shot next time. Natural reaction is to recoil in fear and wake up. Maybe they were there to help?
Anyway, any advice to a total newbie on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

If she can, then yes it’s safe.
However overcoming the fear is a whole other obstacle

I've experienced sleep paralysis a handful of times in my life, mostly when I was in my early teens. I never fought it off with any religious means when it happened. I know I struggled and tried to break out of it through shear willpower alone and it always worked. Only about twice did I think something more peculiar was going on, aside from standard hypnagogic sleep, which actually had me worried and scared.
I wonder though, as I consider myself to be an atheist or at least strongly agnostic; should I have something like this occur again what am I to do? If there's a definite realism to it all and a presence/entity that is there with me and I cant evoke a spiritual name that I "believe" in what do I do if I have no such defense to fall back on?

I disagree. I used to have it all the time. And now don't. I see your practical side. But it's approach is very kin to psychiatry.
It's a misunderstanding of our spiritual side and equating it to a chemical problem.
I don't doubt the effects of chemical and physiological imbalances, however science wholly misses the spiritual aspects.
Aspects, which ultimately, are a science unto themselves.
