I'd like to start off by saying I am skeptic. I'm not trying to start a flamewar here, nor am I trying to disprove anything. There is just one question that I've been meaning to ask for a while. So far I've had a few "projections", but they seem to me more like hallucinations or simple lucid dreams rather than leaving my physical body. Maybe I was just doing it wrong, and the state I achieved wasn't really what I was supposed to achieve, but I can't really tell. Anyway, my question is: what makes you think that your astral projections are real? Have you ever experienced something that proved to you, without a slightest bit of doubt that your OOBEs aren't just happening in your head?
