Astral projection

An interpretive overlay on OBE, positing literal travel through 'astral' space. No controlled evidence beyond the OBE phenomenon itself.

Psychedelic, contemplative, and out-of-body experiences and what they may reveal.

Psychedelic, contemplative, out-of-body experience.

Structured experiences during cardiac arrest and crisis.

A source-linked synthesis of mystical experience, meditation, psychedelics, DMT entities, out-of-body experiences, lucid dreams, and synchronicity.

Use this for the broad OBE phenomenon. It should sit beside astral-projection and NDE sources so the experience, neurological mechanisms, and spiritual interpretation remain separate.

Shows that OBE-like self-location can be induced through multisensory perception, weakening literal body-leaving interpretations while supporting the reality of the experience.

Core neuroscience counterweight for OBE pages because it links the felt sense of bodily self-location to brain mechanisms.

Supports the reality of lucid dreaming as a measurable state while leaving spiritual interpretations of dream travel or insight as separate claims.
