There's a surprisingly large amount of people on this sub who reflexively default to rudeness. I still remember my introduction to r/space 5 years ago when I made an aerospace joke and some guy responded to me with "That's only with Boeing aircraft, this is an Embraer. Don't try to join in with a community you clearly don't belong in". As I was just starting my Aerospace bachelor back then, it has kinda stuck with me as a reminder that no matter what field you go, people can be horrible and elitist for no reason.

While I personally do not believe in any spirtualism/astrology/mysticism, and typically debunk it on reflex when I see it in the wild, I'm sorry to say that this is a very unfriendly subreddit for you to find yourself in.

Even those firmly rooted in the hard sciences can find this subreddit a bit toxic at times, so I'm sorry you're on the recieving end of the brunt of it for asking an innocuous question.

I think you're looking for r/drugs or something, my dude.

I like a nice meditation and/or psychedelic-induced flight of fancy through the universe as much as the next modern-day hippie, but I know I haven't actually left the room in any way, shape or form. Lol.

This sub is for actual outer space. You know, science news. JWST images. Last time I checked anyway. Maybe it's turning into a tinfoil hat club without me having noticed.

Astral projection is just lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is a cool phenomenon where you're aware that you're dreaming while you're dreaming. Astral projection, as are other out of body experiences, a type of hallucination / lucid dream in which a person is just revisiting places they know or dream reconstructions that never match reality.
