Leaving the body and viewing places you never seen before

[LordNezazor]

When you astral project, have OBE's, or whatever, is it possible to go to a place in this physical realm you've never been only to visit that exact place while in your body? For example, you astral projected to a mall somewhere in your city that you never been to yet or seen whilst in body, woke up and then found the exact mall you astral projected to.

A little experience I had some-what similar to this would be when I remote viewed/phased(?) to a hall way for about 5 seconds. I'm positive I never seen this hallway before in "real life". It was the most realistic and vivid thing I ever seen while I was "asleep" and it came out of nowhere. I know now that when i'm in a very relaxed state right before falling asleep I get images of random places in my head that seem to increase in vividness.

Consciousness is a strange thing isn't it. Thanks

Yes, that's entirely possible... but not for the reasons most people think.  You're NOT experiencing some kind of "real time zone".
Essentially, everything / everyone is part of the whole of consciousness.  Whatever another "individual" piece of awareness has experience, you have direct access to through consciousness exploration.
As long as someone else has experienced that "hallway", then you can experience it to.  Although, that's not to say you will experience it EXACTLY as they did though... it's the non-physical after all, subject to your own subjective thoughts/emotions/beliefs/etc.

Yes, it would definitely happen. It happened to me once but with an object not a place. During one of my OBEs I headed toward a room in my house an floated to the ceiling. I found the chandelier to has some lamps that have a weird protrusions at their endings. I decided to keep that note in mind an try to verify it while I am back in my body and awake.  After I was back and awake the first thing I did is to head to that room and check the chandelier lamps. But I can't view even a single lamp while looking from the ground so I brought a chair and climbed over it, stretched my nick and took a look. To my surprise the lamps had the exact same weird protrusions that I saw during my OBE! it was such an eerie and exciting feeling at the same time
