I do have tried binuaral beats before. It can help you relax easily. Everything else depends on how you practice :)

Whatever it may be, just enjoy the journey.
When you are lucid dreaming, if you raising your consciousness, you will get into astral plane without even knowing that you are in astral plane.

Lucid dreaming, dream, astral projection are just the level of consciousness. It completely depends on your awareness of your surroundings. So never worry that you are lucid dreaming and not in astral plane.

You maybe in dream, if your consciousness s more then you will get lucid. If you raise your consciousness even more, then you will get into astral plane.

So, always enjoy your journey :-)

Yes, Everyone has a spirit guide :)

I don't think any responsibilities are there astral plane, but sure you will get calm through experience.
Whatever you do in astral plane, it will be a lesson for your physical life, even if you are fighting with alien, its somewhat like you are fighting with your own for the self realization and a bad in you.
