It just seems strange that one minute i was walking down a road then the next i was jumping into a river i used to play in when i was younger but i dont remember changing the scenery.
You can stay fixed in one location as long as you're mind does not 'wander'. The Astral Project Out of Body people are quite used to being able to go to fixed locations. One would suppose that one can go to actual places in the World -- sort of -- but the Lowest Astral Plane that correspondes to the Real World has added content, seemingly of a subjective quality. Once, years ago, when I was in the Far East, I astrally projected one night and flew to the Town Square, the Train Station and there, in the center of the Square was this Bronze Statue of some General or other. Well, it is not there in reality. I asked questions the next day and it seems that before the Japanese Occupation, there had been a statue of a General, one that they Japanese did not appreciate since his famous Victory was against the Japanese. Torn down in Reality, it still exists in the Astral Plane's representation of that Town. I suppose on the Astral Plane, Iraq is still bedecked with statues honoring old Saddam.
