What is the difference between Astral Projection and Sleep Walking?
So, basically, what i want to know is if you “don’t” go into the sleep paralysis state, but you are basically still walking around, but your mind is perceive stuff that isn’t in the physical world, although the world looks similar. How is this different than astral projection?
Sleep walking is a dreaming state where the body’s normal safety mechanisms don’t activate. You can’t move physically if you are astral projecting it is impossible in true projection because your soul is gone and no longer connected sufficiently to the body to control it unless you are bi-locating between your body and another location. If you are sleep walking you are not projecting maybe you are perceiving but that is the extent of it.
So, could an entity take over your body then and do stuff with it while you astral project?
No. That is an old myth, popularized to scare people away from the practice of projection. You are never really separated from your physical body, and it doesn’t take much to snap you back to it.
