Afghanistan / 9 Jan 2013 - I awoke at 3:30am due to a loud noise outside that may have been lightning. Still tired, I emptied my bladder and went outside to take a few deep pranayama breaths and intake some fresh air. Then I returned to my sleeping area and tried to fall back asleep, also aware that conditions were right for an out-of-body experience. Outside the wind and rain started to increase and I worried I might not be able to fall back asleep.
Soon after I felt my body falling asleep and tried to maintain mental awareness. It worked and I was soon pulled from my body with the usual inner vibrations that accompany this exit for me and as described commonly by others.
I did not have a concept of a body, just awareness. My astral body rose through the ceiling of my sleeping area and into another dimension that was probably adjacent. I did not see anything remarkable there and I instead thought of the ancient and advanced yogi Shiva for some reason. I guess I was hoping to find him subconsciously. The image of his blue form sitting in lotus posture popped into my awareness but I couldn't find him and soon returned to normal thought.
I can't recall any other remarkable things about this first projection, but I found myself rejoining the physical body and almost by reflex, I departed the physical body again with slight vibrations and returned to another dimension. Then a few seconds later I was pulled back into the sleeping physical body a second time and again I rose out of the body but then I lost awareness and fell back into sleep for a couple hours.
An important note of this and [my other astral projection two weeks ago Third Eye Viewing and Subsequent OBE in Afghanistan] is that both times, the wind was blowing outside and creating a sort of whistling sound in the background. This may have affected these experiences in some way. The other thing is that these experiences were uncontrollable for me and it makes me wonder about the statements that one should leave their body during a specific time of year in order to obtain certain heavenly abodes. How is the astral body controlled by the environment?

Dear Beloved's query:
How is the astral body controlled by the environment?
MiBeloved’s Response:
The astral body is in an environment and has to correspond with the laws of nature for that dimension. We may say that there are physical laws of nature and also psychic laws of nature. Hence if the astral body is in a certain dimension it has to confirm to that level of existence.
There are also restrictions on the various levels. On some levels you cannot take the memories which are in your psyche when you are on the physical plane. These memories may be repossessed once the astral body is reinstalled into the physical body at the end of the dream, sleep or astrally separated session.
