i have heard that astral projecting/out of body expiriencses are closly related to lucid dreaming (being aware that you are dreaming, and thus being
able to control your own dream).
although i've had no success with AP/OOBE (not since i was a young child any way) i have recently had ALOT of lucid dreaming incidents...
i've heard on this site such things as to try and fly straight up while lucid dreaming to induce AP/OOBE... (havn't actually tried that myself
though)
but to induce a lucid dream, some say to have a visual trigger, for instance there was somone on this site who said that their trigger was a painting
of a tiger that was on the wall in the hallway of the house that they grew up in, and their family is no longer in posession of that painting, so
whenever he/she saw that painting, he/she knew they were dreaming...
my trigger was to find the ocean and jump on into it, if i didn't drown then i knew i was dreaming (cause i can't swim in real life
)
eventually i found that if you even
question weather or not your dreaming, then you
are infact dreaming...
i hope this somehow helps you to achieve your goal of astral projection (although it hasn't seemed to help me AP).
but as a side note, lucid dreaming is HELLA FUN!!!, so maybe this will help you lucid dream at the very least.
