What is Astral Projection? That's maybe the toughest question to answer, lucid dreaming is where your body is asleep and paralyzed but your mind is bright and awake and awareness in now in your brains own created dream world. Astral projection (out of body experience, etheric projection) is when the astral body, light body or consciousness can separate from the body and travel in the astral planes/ other dimensions.

Astral projection is seen as many to be nothing more than a lucid dream, below are three main interpretations of the term we know as astral projection.

1. Astral Projection is merely a very high lucid dream that feels like you have left your body (this is the explanation favored by classical science). Reports of near death experiences do seem to challenge this view point but it is assumed that information must be being gathered in other more conventional ways. Detailed descriptions of the operating room and procedures by the resuscitated are explained by other senses, such as hearing sounds and forming a mental picture of operating procedure etc.

2. You aren't really separating from your body, but your consciousness is, your mind makes sense of this by giving you the sensations of being a spirit freed from the body (an explanation favored by some unconventional scientists and parapsychologists). Your freed consciousness can surf dimensions that science hints at in its as yet unproved theories about our universe, this state can be used to gain information that would seem to many to be only explained by paranormal powers

3. You really do have a another vessel (spirit) that contains your consciousness and this vessel is able with the correct focus to be able to roam planes of existence. These planes are what many cultures would regard as the afterlife, as an astral projector you will only be able to navigate a few planes that exist near our earthly plane of existence. The highest plane is the source, the Atomic plane, oneness, the light... god.

In astral projection the conscious mind leaves the physical body and moves into the astral body. The astral body is one of our subtle bodies.  Some people can astral project naturally. Others are afraid to leave the physical body and never are able to astral project. An alternative approach is remote viewing.   In astral projection you remain attached to your physical body by a silver "umbilical type" cord. Some people see the cord and others do not.  You are aware of things you encounter along the way while out of your body.

To astral project, as with all out-of-body experiences - one must feel totally relaxed, clothing fitting comfortable, reclining is best. Often a comforter is best over the body as the physical body sometimes gets cold when you travel out.
