How real can an astral projection or obe experience be?

This of course depends on what you define as being real, for me its
being able to fully feel with my 5 senses: touch, smell, sight, hearing, taste.

Have you experienced touch and being able to fully feel the textures of an object, or smelling something.
And can you actually manifest an object while obe and then eating it, lol?

I´ve only had a few short astral experiences, most of them my vision was unfocused and shifted quite rapidly, but
I was able to feel for my physical body and it felt just as solid as my normal one.

So how common is it to be able to use all your sense while obeing and has this made you think of your astral body being as real the original?

Sincerely

The problem is that you're equating a projection with your physical body. You see, hear, feel and smell because you have a physical body to perceive your surroundings. You see because the photons bounce against your retinas after bouncing on other physical objects. You hear because the sound waves bounce against your eardrums, and they send the vibes to the ear hairs which change polarity and send those signals to the brain who processes these signals which you perceive as sound. You feel because you have nerve endings on your skin, you smell because you have perceptile organs in your nose....
But when you project you switch your conscious awareness into an energy 'body' that is the sensing apparatus- like radar interacting with the environment around it. The only reason we mostly see and feel is because the information is downloaded into our brains who interpret the energy and informs it into something we can relate to or understand. That's why we are often blind when we separate and get images when we're away from the body, and that is why we often hear noise right at the verge of separation but it stops as we achieve it.
We usually don't hear sound at all, and most communication is done by 'rote' or 'idea sending' (like telepathy), and except for music, there is no sound.
Besides images (which are probably informed by the subconscious), we sometimes get sensation, but it's not sensation like 'normal' touching, it's more like how sonar would feel if it had feeling- it's hard to describe but anyone who's gone through a wall knows what I mean.
So if you gauge the reality of a projection, it shouldn't be with how close to fivesensory perception it is- if you can feel, hear, see and taste, chances are you're dreaming.

ok, thanks for clarifying

this makes much sense
