Oh, boy. I used to have really bad nightmares, starting when I was really young. When I was a child, they were your usual "chased by a monster" dreams. Then as I got older they changed into things like Nazis, demons, and various kinds of assassins. In many of the dreams, they DID catch me and stab me, shoot me, one dream had me in the electric chair... In several dreams I have "died" (it's not true that if you die in a dreamscape you really die, and I am living proof of that).
I believe now, with hindsight and with the spiritual and metaphysical knowledge that I've managed to accumulate, that these were more or less real. I really was, I believe, being tormented by negs of various kinds (the Nazi image is partly because I was living in a haunted building in Germany at the time and partly because, I know now, of an apparent past life). It took years of these dreams before I finally learned how to triumph over the pursuers. Yes, I definitely believe it was real, if not literal.
Was I astral when having these dreams? Possibly. I've had a lot of dreams that I'm sure were astral. Does it matter? Maybe not. The dreams were telling me something true, that I was under attack. Maybe they were literal negative entities, maybe they were just my own many "issues", but I was definitely being sabotaged and hunted, as it were.
Hope that doesn't totally freak you out. I'm just sharing my own experience, and actually, most of my weird/scary dreams were NOT literal. For example, I used to have lots and lots of nightmares about having to live in a haunted house, and now I know that the "ghosts" were just my own issues and stuff that scared me too much to think about (I did eventually get rid of them, though, I'm happy to say).
Unless it becomes a pattern, I wouldn't be too concerned. Everyone has freaky dreams at least once in a while.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
