Hi guys, when I used to do astral travel I kept a journal of my experiences most of the time. My teacher encouraged this as an 'extra exercise' to 'improve the reality of the experience'. I thought I would share an example trip. This was not full OOB as I was in only 2nd or 3rd Jhana level:

New DOT Training Trip Report - 3/10/21:
I appeared in a grassy field, in front of me was a wedge like plateau, about 50 feet tall, covered also in grass. I wanted to go investigate it. As soon as I tried to move I noticed a weight on my leg. Looking down I discovered that there was a large chain and a ball anchored to my right foot. I kneeled down to investigate further and noticed that on the grass right by the angle lock was a key, I picked it up and tried using it to unlock the ankle chain. The key worked. Very strange, I thought, but I decided to drop the key and walk toward the wedge like plateau. As I got closer and walked down the hill towards it I noticed there was an old red object, head high, by the base of the plateau.
Getting a bit closer I noticed that it was a very old and dilapidated 'STOP' sign. I thought maybe the wedge like shape was a very old and over grown building. I walked down to the STOP sign, crossing a very small and mostly dry mud stream over an old bridge. As I passed by one side of the wedge like stone plateau I started to wonder what this place was. "Am I a prisoner" I contemplated, is this a strange outdoor jail? As walking down the length of the wedge like plateau at the base of it.
Suddenly there was a loud alarm, booming across the fields behind me. 'Prisoner Escape' A voice that could be heard for miles shouted several times. I was startled, and even before I could react two large grates shot up from the ground ten feet behind me and fifty feet ahead of me. There was another plateau fifty left of me so I was boxed in. Now I was very confused. I hadn't done anything.
Noticing my confusion the visage of an angel flashed into being in front of me.
"David, just stick with the story and it will make sense". He declared, vanishing as quickly as he appeared.
What looked like a drone flew into the cage in front of me. It announced that I was to lay on the ground, hands on the grass that covered all of the landscape that I saw. I did so, still confused.
Rapidly, within 30 seconds, several of what seemed to be guards emerged from a door that appeared in the side of the wedge like plateau. It was well camouflaged. It seemed to be an actual building, I now realized. They approached me shouting commands, and handcuffed me. They put a smaller ball and chain on me. Quickly they moved me into the door that at least two guards had emerged from.
"Let's put him in the holding cell until we can decide what to do with him" said one.
Just inside the structure, five feet left of the door was a holding cell. The guards quickly put me in and wrapped the chain on my leg around the door so that the ball was tied outside the cell. As soon as I sat down inside the cell I saw a key on the ground to my right. I found this somewhat amusing despite my confusion. The guards were looking away for a minute, in another room, where another guard, maybe a commander was. I picked up the key and examined it. One of the guards looked back.
"Where did you get that" he voiced loudly. "Give that to me". I was annoyed by the continuous aggressiveness towards me despite me having done nothing. I held the key in my fist.
"You will give me that key" shouted one of the guards even more aggressively. I didn't even know if the key unlocked my leg chain but the guard seemed to think so. The angel now appeared again.
"David is innocent. Do not spew accusations upon him"
"What the f*** is that", retorted one of the guards loudly
"You will release David now or I will consume you with light"
"Oh f***, shoot it"
The angel was shot by twenty bullets, stopping them with his white aura, as Neo would if he were in the Matrix. He then released an opal colored ball of light from his palm. One of the guards collapsed.
"What the hell is that thing, what the hell did you do"
"I put him to sleep, consuming his hatred within the opal light. You are next unless you relent"
The guard now started firing his gun as rapidly as possible.
Again the angel blocked the onslaught and hit him with an opal ball of light.
Now the commander in the next room had taken notice. He was up and entering the room to also attack the angel. This was the first time in any trip that I had ever seen an angel directly attacked so I was slightly in shock. The commander had a large caliber gun which he fired, slower but with more bang. The result was the same as that of the past two guards. He quickly ran out of rounds.
"Damn, if you want something right you have to do it yourself" He exasperated. Rapidly he pulled a string from his belt. It was a trigger. I heard a rapidly increasing frequency coming from his belt. The angel quickly ran, through the bars, to me. Grabbing me he shouted
"We need to get out of here". I disappeared into light.
We both appeared in the field outside the wedge like building. A resounding boom echoed from the building. I could see a physical shock to the building exterior and a fire started to consume the
structure.
The angel backed up.
"That was a lesson. You are always protected when you are traveling. Continue your traveling and do as much DOT training as you have time for".
In a blink he disappeared and my trip ended.
