Thread: Astral Projection Or Just "imagination"?

Alright, well, here's a synopsis of my experiences with Astral Projection, or "AP" as it's been called.

As a young child, I grew bored in school. Very, very bored. I would often daydream or totally zone out because I could already grasp what took the other children lectures to understand. Call me mean, but I just thought all of them were stupid. Anyways, some day (I don't recall specifics) I realized that I could project myself and "fly" through 3D space, experiencing vision and some sound whilst still retaining auditory and touch senses from the location of my physical being. I did this for maybe a year and stopped, probably because I was paying attention in school. Fast-forward to fourth or fifth grade, when I really found the power of such an ability. I could enter an AP state fairly quickly (under 5 or 10 seconds) and explore the world around me, with little-to-no specific detail, but still I could check on and confirm things. In seventh grade, I asked a friend of mine to place down a deck of cards, and tell me to pick a card. Out of the 5 or 6 trials we attempted, I got all but one correct to the card. I began to doubt myself, though. APing, for me, isn't very realistic. It's kind of like me just visualizing the environment in my head and moving through it, able to observe details that actually exist in the world. Still, everything seems "less than real" when I AP.

Any thoughts on this?
