I think the astral realm is just lonely by nature. 
Personally I have no problems manifesting my spirit guide in dreams but I cant manifest my guides or thought forms in the astral plane. Theres a different set of rules

I very much appreciate your quick reply. So, it's a bit embarrassing because everyone just associates it with stoner culture, but I actually smoke a lot of pot to meditate and project. That was my second time trying and I nailed it, I really believe the weed helped me ease past the splitting point where I normally would jolt out of it.

Anyway, is there a way to find others in the astral plane? Or do you just wonder around til you find someone else? Do anons here meet up in the plane? I'm actually new here.

Im pretty experienced but entities are still something Im doing more research on. This is what Ive learned based only on my own experiences:

astral entities are very rare. If you see typical dream characters, chances are that your body at home lost focus and fell into a deep sleep and your projection devolved into a dream.

 In the real astral plane, it should be mostly empty, but you may find the following if you look hard enough: Cats and birds, inhuman Alien beings, wandering souls of children, and Vampyric beings such as Lycanthrope or Incubus (whom can take any form)
