I was bouncing up and down but stuck to my body in a way I could not tell. I couldn't turn around. If I had an astral body, then it was curled up into a ball-shape. After experiencing a few OBEs and reading several books, I came to believe the astral body was not solid. They rested on the bed.
Some people can travel just by thinking of a person or place.
But it's not always that simple. It's not just the thought that makes us travel, but our beliefs too. In Journeys Out of the Body, Robert Monroe wasn't always able to travel to a desired person or place. When trying to contact a friend, he often found himself in unexpected, unfamiliar surroundings. I've also run into these problems.
