I've been out of OF for a long while....pursuing other endeavors...in any case, now I'm back, kinda...in some lesser manifestation...anyhow, I was reading up on meditation and all sorts of things and I decided, "there was a thread on 'Astral Nasties,' why not see how people who have astral experience manifest themselves..."
So, to the question....for those with some experience, what form do you take in the astral realm? Do you choose a perfectly accurate version of yourself? Do you choose a paradisiacal version of how you see yourself? Do you choose an animal? Do you choose to present yourself as a shapeshifting mass of liquid shadow?
....just interested in outward(kinda) expressions of people's inner psyches....
What Form? (that could be a compliment)

I've taken on possibly three forms thus far in my astral experiance.
1) A body of light, mainly from my early work, stemming from expanded dream practices.
2) Unknown, as in I never bothered to look. It was times like this that I accidently went AP and either thought it was a dream or just did not bother to check/think abou it.
3) A lizardman, while the image I'm adding is not exactly correct from my recolection, it is rather similar.

Though, one must note, that I do not have all that much experience in the astral, and even less now that I am actively trying *sigh* but in no cases, have I looked like "me".

No worries...I'm just curious...I've only had one OBE/AP myself, maybe 2, and I never really had the chance to look at myself. I can only assume that I was just a regular version of myself...in the better of the two APs I managed to see a woman's hand wrapped in light blue and pink silk-looking material reaching down, but the second I saw my own hand reaching for it, I lost the projection....
The "lizardman" kinda reminds me of a Halfblood Yuan-Ti from DnD for some reason....more snakey than lizardy....but cool, thanks for the input...
And V/S,
Would that be the same "Black Pig" that you put into your alarmclock?

More along the lines of those guys in Land of the Lost (if you can remember that) and less like the D&D Lizardman (aligatorish).
If you practice dreaming at all, practice looking at your hands there...it's a GREAT tool to help you remember as well. Do the same thing in real life, just randomly hold your ahnds up & look at them. Once it's second nature you'll just automatically start looking at them...train yourself to remember doing it though, or it's moot.
At least that's how I did it

That's the one. I should also mention that one of those times, I was in my day-to-day form and I was being hounded by some drill-sergeant lunatic and I got really aggravated and ended up turning into the black pig. That was when I found out that a little black pig is not his real shape. In an instant, I was about nine feet tall, pitch-black-skinned and built like the Balrog in LotR (without wings and without the fire). Needless to say, the guy screaming at me was screaming about something else when that happened. But that only happened once. And it was a lucid dream rather than an OBE.Would that be the same "Black Pig" that you put into your alarmclock?

Usually myself, but sometimes there is no "me". Like nothing, just perception. Other times, I am a tall redhead (I wish) or other ideal form. Once I was a wolf, protecting my home. I'm not eager to repeat it since the anger and hate was beyond anything I experience in my daily life.
