What does it

[Astroman]

I have been looking at Robert Bruce's treatise about astral projection but what does it feel like when you leave your body.

I suppose it feels like you're fainting.

I've never fainted before, but it appears someone who does faint takes absence of their body's motor functions and enters a kind of tired, dreamy state. In an OBE, however, you're lucid, as if it was your choice to faint.

HI Astro,
Sometimes we feel as if we are in two places at the same time, being aware of our bodies and also of the place that we are projecting to.  The longer you remain at the projection target the more 'there' you feel.

With aware OBE, when you have come out of the body, you feel very real, solid to yourself.  And, for me there was always another feeling underlying the whole experience.. one of knowing this experience from other times that I was not aware of it happening.
