Hello sir. I got into a deep state of meditation where my body was asleep but my mind wasn't I sort of slid into a different reality where a monster manifested in front of me it was very real so I got scared and I backed up back into my body. What is this state and how do I not get scared?

You simply reached a deeper level of Jhana, when we reach the deeper Jhanas we will lose awareness of our bodies and it will seem like only our mind exists. This is nothing to be afraid of and is very admirable that you can attain such a state. Many monks have visions or see strange things when they are meditating. There was a very famous nun in Thailand who had exceptional visual abilities and saw many psychic phenomena and visions when she meditated. She was instructed by her master to either ignore these visions or to use wisdom and analysis to cut them away and return to the object of meditation.

I provided a link to her book in the previous thread, Mae Chee Kaew.
