Astral projection - Other kinds of projection

Astral projection - Real time projection

In contrast to "astral" projection, the traditional understanding of out-of-body experiences involve the projector (or traveler) moving about in the "real" world as an invisible ghost in what is sometimes referred to as Real Time Projection (or RTP).

Another popular term to refer to this kind of OOBE consists of "etheral projection" as opposed to "astral projection". People who claim to have experienced both say they can clearly observe the distinction between these two states. Some claim that the sensations of real-time projection are usually as vivid as the ones of the physical body, which can be a source of serious anxiety when it unexpectedly happens. Sensations of strong vibrations in the whole body are also said to accompany this experience.

In some cases the 'traveller' leaves his mortal body and 'floats', being able to travel to a destination by thought. If the 'traveler' visits somewhere that other people are involved in daily life, the 'traveller' is unable to contact those people and can only observe. The 'traveler' can return to their body by 'wishing to return' as it were, whereupon they descend into their body smoothly until finally the back of the head jolts back into position after some vibration.

Astral projection - Virtual reality projection

Part astral and part real time (as mentioned above), called Virtual Reality Projection by most, is when a projector moves on the physical plane, yet interacts with the astral plane at the same time. An example of this is if one walks into a "real" poster or picture, they are transported to a -perfect- reconstruction of this place/world by concentrated experiences and thoughts of every beholder of the concept of the picture. This is part of the reason many try to project, but admittedly only a speck in the (literally) infinite possibilities. This concept is associated with the occult and the New Age movement.

Astral projection - Remote viewing

In some instances, astral projectors have described details of the outside world whilst in projection that they could not have known beforehand, known as remote viewing. In remote viewing, however, the viewer does not leave his or her body, but "sees" remote sites by other means.
