Surprise reflection of myself during AP

[Body Electric]

A couple years ago, I started experiencing what I found out were episodes of sleep paralysis. Just recently (oh, prob within the last several months) I started astrally projecting and being conscious of it. During one of my earliest travels, I projected out (naturally, not on purpose. I've never went into this trying to project, I'm not quite sure why it's happening. But it's AWESOME!) and found myself upstairs in a bedroom of my childhood home. Same decor, same carpet, same everything. The first thing I did was go to the closet door to look at myself in the mirror. The only light was coming from the closet. When I pulled back the door and looked at my reflection, I was looking at myself as a 4th or 5th grader! It was crazy! I just looked at myself and touched my face and smiled. It was spectacular and super intense. Then I came to back in my bed. Has this ever happened to anyone? Great site, btw! I enjoy all the experiences and wisdom! I'm new to this and really don't know about techniques bc, as I stated, I have never tried to project, and now that I'm aware of it, I think of it all the time and now it seems to happen easier than ever, and not scary anymore. I do wish I had more control over my travels though!

It has never happened to me.  Your experience sounds very interesting.

I had several journeys through a wardrobe when very young. I knew nothing of Narnia ect. I was too young and really enjoyed them. The beach ones were the best, thoughts of a being a youngster again. lol.

@Astralsuzy: It was pretty bizarre! I mean, when I think about it, why wouldn't I see my child self if I was in my childhood bedroom? I also remember a dream where I was an adult and I met my 6 yr old self. Now I'm not sure it was a dream anymore;)

@Szaxx: I'm so jeal! Please tell me how it happened! Was it conciously? Did a door appear? When I was a kid, I desperately thought if I believed hard enough, that I could knock on the wall of my closet and a door would appear leading me to a magical land! I also believed I would eventually fly if I jumped off my porch enough! I don't seem to have a problem with that in the astral. Loves it!

It started from within a dream where I was playing hide and seek and hid in the wardrobe. I fell out of the back of it and liked what happened. I can still remember the smell of mothballs.
Others were successful concious attempts directly to the wardrobe.
