I did this when I was 11 0r 12 years old.
went to sleep rose above my body and floated near the cieling looking back down on myself on the bed.
I told my mother and she said you could do anything you wanted in your dreams. so I did, the next time , I went up through the cieling and flew around
the city, I noticed a house roof almost a block away from our home on the roof, it was a flat roof with a small fascade, there was a couple of balls,
a softball and a blue basketball, anyway I flew all over and then flew back to my body and woke up...
this is the readers digest condensed version.
A few days later my brother and I were walking by the same house with the flat roof and a workman was getting a ladder out, to work on the air
conditioner he said, I asked him if there were any balls on the roof and he said he would take a look, anyway, he reappeared and threw down the two
balls I'd seen.
That was how I know it was astral projection and not lucid dreaming which I do all the time in my adult life.
anyway the simple answer is flying, flying is very cool!
