Question #5360: Mind going completely elsewhere while meditating

Ok, I ask anonymously as probably it's enemy attack and I prefer not being identified.
I meditate since years, with success and progress despite some setbacks from time to time, so I'm not new. I admit I am not so good at void meditation, as my mind often overthinks. But the following was not happening before and is getting worse, and it happens once I try void meditation to prevent it.
Sometimes when I meditate, even for long meditations like Raum, I completely loose the perception of what I am doing and I feel like I am in a different place. I "see" situations in my mind's eye, hear voices and understand facts (very articulated and complicated sometimes, with a sense and "plot") like I am watching a movie in my mind. It seems like, my consciousness is 100% in another place as those facts seems real (not always, but often). When I get back to meditation I often forget the repetition number and I feel a bit lost, most often I can continue without being sure about the repetition count.
I think I have been getting slowly better in perceiving the astral, but this is like jumping in another reality for a few seconds, or minutes, can't say exactly. So in case it's astral perception "tuning", I'll wait, but it seems getting worse.
I even though my soul can be attached to someone else, or a vampire, and I perceive another person for a while.
Did anyone experience this and fixed somehow ?
Thanks in advance for any help here.

I think you need to learn to control your mind better.

It is important to be able to focus on what you need and discard all unnecessary things.

On the other hand, sometimes it is important to exclude any thoughts and be able to fully focus on your feelings.

It just means you need to discipline your mind. This is the same thing that happens when you daydream in school.

I also immediately thought of daydreaming and an undisciplined mind. Meditation requires conscious relaxation and a high level of concentration at the same time. The more intensively and deeply you get into meditation, the more likely you are to fall victim to the "wild monkeys". If I notice this, I immediately pull myself back and refocus. Otherwise I can fall into a hypnotic state. If I were to compare the images that arise to birds, I would say to myself: you can't always avoid birds flying over your head, but you can avoid them building nests in your head.

Keeping count of repetitions is usually done with mala beads or some other similar method. That way you will not lose count.

This can stem from a temporary astrological transit, or something like this. Try doing more void meditation before the other meditations, it may help.
