after wondering for some time whether there is any real merit to accounts of "astral projection", i have decided to test the possibility of its reality with a simple experiment.

i shuffled a new pack of cards well and picked a single card..i placed this card on top of my closet door, face up, about half a foot above my line of vision, where i cannot possibly see it.

as i have WILDed into my room all but one or two of the many times (usually in a manner prototypical of an "OBE" or "astral projection"), i figure i might as well see if i can find the card while physically stationary, and correctly identify it upon waking.

mind you, the odds are one in 54 (jokers included) , but it would still be compelling. it'd be cool if others wish to try the same experiment and post any results (either positive or negative).

if there is any success i plan to have a friend write a random word on a piece of paper, and will place this face up in the same location..

i am actually pretty excited to attempt this concrete experiment, as i have had just enough strange "paranormal" experiences to partially believe success will be had.
