about going from physical to astral

For me, there is a very subtle transistion that I "feel."  It's almost as if you wake up and your body is completely numb.  When this happens, I imagine rolling out of my body, just like a person would roll out of bed when he gets up in the morning.  

When I do this, I start to feel myself astrally roll out of my body.  I then feel the ground beneath me, the walls around me, and anything else just like normal.  I usually have to thrust my hand through something solid to convince myself that I am not really doing this in my physical body!

So to answer your question, you just "know" when you are out.  I would say that you should read about OBE's before going to bed, and after you set your book down, begin some exercises to prepare your mind for one.  Keep reciting to yourself that when you wake up in the middle of the night, you WILL have an OBE.  Then, when you do wake up, don't move, but stay relaxed and imagine your body all numb and passive.  You may start to feel a vibration when you do this.  Just mentally imagine rolling out (or sitting up) in bed, and observe any sensations that you feel.

Then let us know how it goes!

I am really new into this kind of stuff and it just amazes me. I have been recently trying to project but there is just 1 (probably very obvious) question that i have. How do you get out/float away from your physical body. If being in Astral is as real as every day life, how do you know that your acually in the Astral state. I don't want to think i'm in an Astral state then move my physical body and ruin my concentration. If anyone can answer this potential obvious question i would be happy thanks.
