There generally exist two schools of thought on the nature of astral projection; these can broadly be defined as the mystical model and the phasing model. Astral projection - Mystical Model. The mystical model contains a large variety of belief systems and astral maps, but they are tied together by their belief that astral projection takes place outside of the actual physical body.

Out-of-body experience - Astral projection. Astral projection is an interpretation of forced out-of-body experiences achieved consciously, via lucid dreaming or deep meditation. Proponents of astral projection maintain that their consciousness or soul has transferred into an astral body (or "double"), which moves free of the physical body in a parallel world known as the "astral plane," which is said to exist via the "collective conscious". Unlike the typical OBE, astral projection does not typically posit that one's conscious ...

Not every OBE has exactly the same aspects, but although there are several different types of OBEs with different causes and meanings, there are some common elements: These people claim they are not "faking" their experiences. They were not, in general, "trying" to have the experience through auto-suggestion, hypnotic trance, etc. Many seemed frightened and/or confused by the experience; some even to the point of doubting their sanity. A belief that they were physically "out of body" is a ...

Opinions regarding the objective reality of OBEs are mixed. An appreciable number of people believe the phenomenon is exactly what it feels like, and that the soul is leaving the body and exploring. Many OBE accounts are positive that the usual explanation, that the experience was a dream, is insufficient and often cite the experience as having a spiritual effect. See examples: "If it was [a dream], why am I still so affected by it?" "I just don't understand this – how can this happen?" ...

While the subjective experience may be very compelling, most skeptics discount the idea that the phenomenon is somehow linked to an actual physical relocation of consciousness. They note that, in the absence of the typical conviction that the experience is real, these experiences would simply be considered dreams; and that lacking hard evidence to the contrary, the simplest explanation would be that the experiencer's sense of heigh ...

New Age thought incorporates many theosophical ideas, including the concept of subtle bodies and planes of existence. While there is no consensus position, the general idea is that the Astral body corresponds to the astral plane which is sometimes also (ref?) called the 5th dimension. The astral body is also widely understood here as the subtle body in which astral projection occurs (see Astral projection). This is one of several types of out of body expe ...
