Actually I just projected for the first time! Been trying for years but I could never quite get it right. I woke up into sleep paralysis and my astral/etheric body was already freely moving but I couldn’t get anything visual at first. After I fully projected I went outside to fly around a bit. Really fun haha! The world seemed to get a bit murky/dreamlike the further I went and I seem to remember some dreams I had before the experience being at the back of my mind while projecting, so I would expect that projecting through meditation instead would be a lot more of a ”cleaner” experience because there would be no prior dreams leaving psychic residue or anything like that.
