I've only recently gotten interested in astral travel.

I know a friend who has been doing it for the past 3 years or so, and she claims that she is able to meet with a fictional character. The idea seemed really intriguing and weird, and I just wondered if it was at all possible. I read that how you percieve the astral world is dictated by the individual mind of the person doing the projecting. And I guess...if you're thinking about something then it can happen? I'm just totally curious about this. I think it would be great to see people or places I would have never been able to in the real world.
