Confused between real self and astral self

[piyal_14]

Hi everyone!

I don't know if this is a common occurance for everyone, but many times during my AP I have been really confused whether i am my real self or my astral self.
For an instance, sometimes i would project and get out of my bed, but then i would feel the cool floor touch my feet and think that maybe i am sleep walking( I normally never sleep walk), then i would look back and not find myself in bed and think that i should probably get back, but when i do get back i get the typical sensation of getting back into my body, the sensation of the blanket wrapped around me etc... This means that everytime I do AP but I get confused as to which state i'm in...
Is this a common incident? Has this ever happened to you?

Hey there Piyal.

All the time. Usually I am in a paralysis state and I end up rolling out. It feels so real once I am out I often think that I have failed until my hand goes through a wall or something.

I remember one time I actually was in the real time zone. I thought I was in the physical. I was even going to start my morning routine until I realized I could float.

Once I walked to my bathroom and realized I was out of body when the door led somewhere entirely different. @_@

The same morning, some friends came into my room. I later asked about it and they had never entered or were even on my side of town. Every so often I get stuck in a looping of falling out of my body and being confused. Irritating because it never happens when I WANT it to happen.

It is very common. Remember that you are creating consciously or subconsciously the interaction between you and the environment around you. If you think that everything looks physical so it is probably physical, you are creating the expectation of your feet touching the floor and that is what you experience. Try zooming in on your palms and different objects around you. Sooner or later you will find an indication that you are out of body. My last OBE was a good example. I went out of my body and everything was too normal and physical and I started questioning if I am out of body. I could've looked at my bed and realised I am in the phase but I didn't do it for some reason lol. I wanted to go through my window but couldn't due to my doubts. I started walking around the house and looked at my hands several times until I actually saw one or more of my fingers are missing  . Then I was sure I am out of my body and went through a window and so on...

"I didn't do it for some reason" comes up a lot for me @_@ It's a little frustrating to wake up for real and think "Why in the world didn't I do that?" Yet it can feel like it was completely real at the time.
