Sleep with the Star Rod. That way, once you get to AP, you can grab the Star Rod, and be on your way!
Sounds quite familiar. In fact, I saw the pictures from the show!
Wimp.
By the way, I thought AP was like this scene:
I've never really heard of this actually! I've been into lucid dreaming the last few years, and I've gotten to the point where I can remember a bunch of dreams when I wake up. I've succeeded a few times, but I began slacking a bit with the effort lately...
I'd like to try this but it also sounds a little scary. I get that your body and soul are supposedly connected by this silver cord, but is it safe? I've never experienced sleep paralysis and horror visions, so I'm scared I'll jump headfirst into that...
Think I'll do some more research.

You might accidentally experience a grimdark vision of the FUTURE!?

What's a shadow person?
Well, sleep paralysis is the most common method projection. As a matter of fact, I haven't heard of many methods that don't require it. Sleep paralysis itself is completely unrelated to astral projection, though. It simply enables you to get in the required state to separate your soul (as I like to call it) from your body.

It's been a common occurrence where people who have had sleep paralysis will mention seeing hallucinations shadowy figures standing by their bed.
oh my goodness, sleep paralysis is the scariest thing. i remember the first time i had it, when i woke up one night and i couldn't move. couldn't speak, i could only move my eyes and they just continued peering into the darkness of my room. and it felt like the weight of the world on my chest and i couldn't get up, i started getting really afraid of what was happening. and then i look over to my side and it appeared to be this old woman in a black dress with the creepiest smile staring back at me. i'm pretty sure i heard or read some other stories about the "old hag" hallucination when having sleep paralysis, but it scares me a whole bunch.
only happens to me every once in awhile now, but the scariest part is not being able to call for help when you know there's a person right next door to you ; v ;
When I first discovered astral projection, I thought it sounded like fascinating. I learned some methods online on how to easily attain sleep paralysis and dive into the astral world, but what I learned is that this method can take up to years of practice. In my Junior year of high school I actually had a friend that was interested in astral projection as well. It may sound lame, but we got together and spent the afternoon trying to astral project in different rooms. Afterwards we shared our experience, and we both had similar feelings about it. I believed I went into sleep paralysis, because I vividly remember being awake, but unable to move as a tingling sensation ran across my entire numb body. It was frightening at first, but I became used to it after a few minutes. I really gave it my best shot, and attempted to astral project so many times since then..sadly all of these ended in failures.
Astral projection is not a simple feat for some, but to others may have an innate capacity for it. I eventually gave up on astral projecting, because one of the most essential parts of it is being able to remember your dreams. A dream log can aid you in this, but I never cared enough to jot my dreams down in a notebook. I wish luck to anyone that wishes to try this, but seriously it is not for the faint-hearted. It may frighten you, so be prepared for an otherworldly experience, if you do actually manage to astral project.

Well, it is indeed possible to encounter what are commonly referred to as demons in the astral world, but these are often negative entities you yourself have created. Real or not, no entity in the astral world can harm you. You are protected at all times by a silver cord which keeps you connected to your body while projecting. This cord can't be severed by anything in the astral world. So, in short, you're safe.

In other words, you're a Dreamy Sue/Mary Soul?
I'm afraid I don't know what that means.

Which reminds me of this cute image I drew.
From left to right, these are the Astral Projections of the mages in my mythos: Katie, Pecan, and Marshal. Marshal's Projection is dark red because of his dark ways, and Katie's is lavender because of her physical mode's lavender body. Pecan just has bright green magic.

For everyone reading this, astral projection is a very real thing....and it can be very dangerous. Just like we are beings that can leave our bodies, other beings can do the same. We're not divided from other planes of existence in any way when we astral project, and doing it can attract unwanted attention. If any of you try, please be careful. It's best to imagine a protective barrier around yourself while you do it. Otherwise, if something contacts you and you get scared, just let it know -firmly- that it has no power over you, and it should leave you be. That being said, this is a real thing and it can /also/ be very enjoyable. Be careful. Be safe.
I also heard that if you DO practice partaking in out of body experiences I must warn you NOT to stray to far from your body. My mentor had mentioned that if you are not careful and don't know what you're doing or if anything happens to attract bad attention you may not wake up. This is not a joke, it is not funny. This is a serious activity, you are actually separating your soul from your physical body.
