These are very common and typical hypnagogic hallucinations. You're just WILDing.

If this thread takes on an astral projection theme, someone move it to Deep Dreaming.

Since this is in the lucid dreaming section, mitch: in my opinion astral projection is just conscious dreaming without the lucidity. What I mean is, you fall asleep and use the WILD techniques, but you don't believe it's a dream. You're in a dream but without thinking it's a dream, so it's not lucid. However, you are very conscious and aware just as you would be in a WILD- you just think you're in some other realm of existence.

Haha yeah i knew this was just a common WILD, i just wanted to know their opinion of what the difference was between one of these and astral projection because i really see none. I personally believe its just the person's opinion like you said but wanted to see how pixielady viewed it, since she claims she had been to the astral planes a number of times. No disrespect pixielady, please dont take it that way, it was an honest question and i dont mean to mock you if it sounds that way. Just not sure if i believe it, thats all.

Shouldn't the whole "Astral Projection" post be in the Beyond Dreaming section?
