Why has this subreddit started to attract so many people like you lately?

Nope, we only do hard science here, not neospiritualist fantasy

So far, anything we do and have done in space is based on science.

Astral Projection is not in any way science based, so that would be a big no.

You should try looking in places like r/Weird or r/HighStrangeness

Astral projection is just lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is a cool phenomenon where you're aware that you're dreaming while you're dreaming. Astral projection, as are other out of body experiences, a type of hallucination / lucid dream in which a person is just revisiting places they know or dream reconstructions that never match reality.

Nope. Thanks for playing. r/lostredditor is at least asking for directions at the gas station

I suppose there might be a connection with Major Tom floating in a most peculiar way ;)

I think you're looking for r/drugs or something, my dude.

I like a nice meditation and/or psychedelic-induced flight of fancy through the universe as much as the next modern-day hippie, but I know I haven't actually left the room in any way, shape or form. Lol.

This sub is for actual outer space. You know, science news. JWST images. Last time I checked anyway. Maybe it's turning into a tinfoil hat club without me having noticed.

While I personally do not believe in any spirtualism/astrology/mysticism, and typically debunk it on reflex when I see it in the wild, I'm sorry to say that this is a very unfriendly subreddit for you to find yourself in.

Even those firmly rooted in the hard sciences can find this subreddit a bit toxic at times, so I'm sorry you're on the recieving end of the brunt of it for asking an innocuous question.

There's a surprisingly large amount of people on this sub who reflexively default to rudeness. I still remember my introduction to r/space 5 years ago when I made an aerospace joke and some guy responded to me with "That's only with Boeing aircraft, this is an Embraer. Don't try to join in with a community you clearly don't belong in". As I was just starting my Aerospace bachelor back then, it has kinda stuck with me as a reminder that no matter what field you go, people can be horrible and elitist for no reason.
