I started astral projecting my junior year of high school. In my journal at the time I wrote how I was "having dreams in my room". Now I'm of the opinion that the salt lines I had at my windows and bedroom door were keeping my spirit in my bedroom while I learned how to move about without a body. Almost like the salt lines acted as a baby-gate until I learned the basics. One of my favorite experiences of astral projecting during this time was with my cat. She looked at my spirit while I was astral projecting, then back at my sleeping body in bed, then back at my spirit. I've never seen a cat look so alarmed and confused before lmao
