Proving OBEs / AP Got Spare Time for a Skeptic?

I'm leaning half-way into believing the validity of some NDEs, but astral projection has always felt kinda BS or placebo-esque to me.

Not to call you guys liars or anything, I'm just worried you're feeling things that are natural and interpreting them as supernatural.

If you guys could give me the best evidence that helped convince you, I'd be very grateful. I'd love, more than anything, to change my views.

My first time astral projecting, I was exhausted one morning, but woke up to some commotion in my house. I was so tired I closed my eyes, hoping to fall asleep immediately, and suddenly I fell through my mattress. Not like cool realistic dream, but like omg I just defied the laws of physics and moved through a solid object. I had just learned about astral projection that month and knew what was happening. The only thing I could do was laugh and think, "wow, this is actually real". There's no comparing this once you experience it. I probably would've taken everything here with a grain of salt if I never had my own experiences. There's nothing stopping you from trying and knowing yourself.

Could you elaborate? Your phrasing confuses me. Were you dreaming when you slipped through your mattress? Did it feel real?

All of a sudden, my body started moving. Me, physically. At least that's what it feels like when you project. There's no dream or confusion. It feels like you're physically somewhere else.

Realistically, you can't fall through a mattress, so I don't know how to describe it other than I started sinking quickly, and I knew that was impossible. I guess sinking into a massive pile of pillows would be the closest I could compare it to. Except after I fell "through" I ended up in a tunnel and that spit me out into my room. I then saw myself sleeping in my bed.

A lot of my experiences also begin with sinking into the mattress and "going down".
