I was laying in bed watching a show on irukandji jellyfish and decided to take a nap. When I started to drift off I heard my name one time like someone was laying next to me in bed. The first thought I had was "I'm going to be out of body." Next thing I know I am on my way to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I noticed my breathing was rather slow. That's when it hit me that I was still asleep in my bed. I stood there and finished off the glass just noticing things that were going on so I could try to validate this experience after I returned. I took note of the glass I was drinking from(glass with a blue painted design), what rooms people were in(stepmom in the band room and dad just went into bathroom), and what lights were on from where I could see(band room, kitchen, and living room). I willed myself back into my body and sure enough I was still laying in the same position were I had fallen asleep. I got up to try to validate my experiences. The "oh wow" feeling hit me when I saw my dad was still in the bathroom. I went into the kitchen. Sure enough, same glass but it wasn't empty. All the same lights were on. Only difference was my stepmom was just pulling up in the driveway.
I'm still quite excited about this and I hope to do a bit of exploring my next time out.
That's pretty awesome! Congrats on a cool validation.
Well done sounds like a real time projection to me or near enough. I can remember the first time that I did the same thing. It's a great feeling when you get back into your physical body and then got to the places that you have just been and everything or near enough in the physical world is just as you have just saw it in the astral plane. It really put everything beyond doubt for me. Just a word of advise though, you will not always project into real time. In the astral plane, there is no such thing as time, time appears to be a constraint of the physical world. In the astral plane you can do real time projection, project to some point in the past and also to the potential future as it currently is in the astral plane (the future can and does change before it happens in the physical world). It can be very hard at first to control where/when you will project to.
