Doing breath infusion while asleep

Before going to sleep I usually do the exercise with the legs high up on a chair while the body rests on a carpet at floor level, this to evacuate the stale blood from the feet and to release any pent up emotions or thought patterns before retiring.
In bed, tuning to Naad while falling sleep follows. There is a conscious effort to influence dreams positively towards the spiritual end of the spectrum. Sometimes it works.
I have shared before that I have found myself doing breath infusion in dreams. There is apparently a relationship with the importance given to the practice while awaken during the day. Whatever is most impressed upon the psyche during the day tends to manifest in dreams.
Recently, an interesting phenomenon has occurred while I approach sleep and enter that "twilight" zone (the phase) that normally precedes an astral projection event (and this is not sleep paralysis). All of a sudden, I am conscious of the subtle body doing breath infusion. I suppose this is the subtle body because definitely this exercise is not done physically, but effortlessly. On several occasions, and this is the curious part, I have jerked back into full awakening, only to watch the physical body take up the breath infusion, as if following up on what was being done psychically.
Can the subtle body in the astral realms conduct some type of breath infusion?

Not an unusual experience!
Once you are in the habit of breath infusion and also do make that little effort to study the astral side and the departure of the astral body, this is likely to happen.

Very nice Alfredoji~~~
Similar things have happened to me too, doing the breathing in dreams and realizing my physical body is doing it too.
I've done breath infusion and had kundalini rise in the subtle body while 'dreaming'.
It happened in a subtle experience where I was teaching a class and I tried to hide it from them that it was happening so they wouldn't think I wasn't paying attention to them. But it was full sensation of the rise.
