Is astral projection real?

There is no solid evidence that astral projection is real because there is no way to scientifically determine whether a person’s soul separates from or returns to her body. According to Livescience, the most likely explanation for astral projection is that the person is imagining it or dreaming.

Although there is no scientific evidence supporting the reality of astral projection, somewhere between 8 and 20 percent of individuals who participated in a survey claimed to have had an out-of-body experience. Most of these individuals experienced the sensation of leaving their body during sleep or hypnosis, but others said they had done so during periods of relaxation.
