Astral Projection | comment |
Astral Projection is a magic/mystic practice which allows a character to detach either their soul or their conscious mind (the distinction is important) from their body and let it wander freely, either invisibly in the material plane or out in the Spirit World. Now effectively a living ghost, the character can go just about anywhere, see and hear anything, and potentially engage in Invisible Jerkass behavior, depending on whether they can move objects telekinetically. Also like ghosts, characters who are Astral Projecting may use Demonic Possession to take over host bodies, though this doesn't necessarily allow them to pry into their mind. Most victims usually have no idea what happened afterward. Unfortunately, the freedom of the soul comes at the expense of the body, which usually lies in a Convenient Coma, utterly helpless and vulnerable to attack or neglect. In many cases, the body will die if the soul is separated from it for too long. Another danger is that, like a ghost, the soul/mind might be unable to find its way back. This is especially risky if the Astral Projector loses the "tether" that connects them back to their body, or if another person moves their body while they're "away." Worst case scenario, another detached soul (or something even worse) takes up residence in the body and takes over the person's life while they are stuck outside their own body for good. Some darker uses of this practice will forcibly evict the Astral Self from its host body. If the spirit doesn't know their body is still alive, they may even confuse themselves for an actual ghost. It's entirely possible for an Astral Projector to separate from their body by accident. Perhaps they misused an Ancient Artifact that forced them into an Astral Projection without telling them how to undo the state or return to their body. Or they might accidentally end up in the wrong body, or someone else might take possession of theirs. On the upside, this state makes them indestructible to everything (except angry ghosts, exorcists, irate housewives with vacuum cleaners...). Many people believe they have had experiences similar to these in Real Life. Astral projection is a serious part of belief systems like Spiritualism and Theosophy. However, TV Tropes is not the right place to argue whether or not they really exist. Compare Animal Eye Spy, where the character can see other locations through an animal's eyes. |

Finn has done this twice on Adventure Time. In "Still", he mentally projects himself to the astral plane to summon an "astral beast" to help free him and Jake from their magic-induced paralysis. And in "Astral Plane" Finn astrally travels throughout Ooo and eventually to Mars because of a comet that's on a collision course with Mars, which Glob diverts to Ooo. | |

X-Men: Being the world's most powerful telepath, Charles Xavier does this frequently. In the Marvel Universe, the astral plane used by sorcerers like Doctor Strange and that used by telepaths like Professor Xavier are one and the same. Despite (usually) not having any Psychic Powers of his own, Xavier's sometimes-ally, sometimes-enemy Magneto can do this as well — though he hasn't recently. Xavier's Arch-Enemy the Shadow King also specializes in astral projection. It was eventually retconned that he's a purely astral being who possesses human hosts (specifically, other mutants with telepathic powers that can amplify his own). When Xavier and the Shadow King (at the time using the body of an Egyptian named Amahl Farouk) first met, to any outside observers they seemed to be just sitting motionless at their tables in a tavern. In reality, the astral forms had left their bodies to duel. Once his astral form was defeated, his body slumped over, seemingly brain dead. This encounter was what led Xavier to conclude he needed to create a team of mutant superheroes in order to deal with mutant supervillains like Farouk. |

In Bleach, because proper Shinigami are spirits that live in the afterlife and fight threats which are Invisible to Normals, human protagonist Ichigo can only access his substitute Shinigami powers by expelling his spirit from his physical body. His first two methods of doing this are rather indignant: the first being a glove that Rukia wears to yank his spirit out of his body (more often than not done by punching him), and the second being Kon, a rather crude modsoul contained within a candy that Ichigo swallows so Kon can possess his body (kicking out Ichigo's soul in the process). Later in the series, Ichigo acquires a proper Transformation Trinket in the form of a badge that lets him expel his spirit from his body at will (though he still ends up using Kon a lot because Ichigo's body is effectively dead without a soul inside it). | |

RuneQuest allows players to become shamans, whose souls travel in the spirit world to commune with greater spirits and capture lesser spirits for their magic or other powers. Usually an ally spirit called a Fetch guards the shaman's body. At least as of Mongoose's RQII (RQ5?) advanced shamans can carry other characters' spirits along with them, either voluntarily to journey together or forcibly to engage in spirit combat. | |

Whateley Universe: A number of psychics and wizards are capable of different forms of this. The most notable of these is Fubar, who uses a projected image of an adult version of his original body, as well as using Mind over Matter to make himself seem physically present, in order to interact more naturally with others. Generator's main power is arguably a variant of this: Jade is able to project a portion of her own soul into inanimate objects in order to possess them, while she herself remains awake and active. The duplicated/calved versions of herself think and perceive the world independently from her or each other, but eventually they run out of steam, at which point they and their memories merge back with Jade. |

The Twilight Zone (1985): Discussed in "Shatterday". Peter Jay Novins' alter ego claims that he is the real Novins and that the other one is a piece of him that wandered off while he was sleeping because of astral projection. In "Quarantine", Sarah and the other members of the Commune have the ability to astrally project themselves to anywhere in the universe that they choose, including inhospitable planets which ships could have never visited. Irene uses her psychic powers on Matthew Foreman and takes his mind on a trip around The Solar System. In "Song of the Younger World", Amy Hawkline and Tanner Smith use the I Ching to transfer their souls into the bodies of a pair of wolves in a younger world so that they can be free of her abusive father Mordecai forever. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: In The Avengers (2012), Loki projects his consciousness across light-years of space to the distant lair of the Chitauri army while sitting in an underground base on Earth. He is holding the scepter with the Mind Stone, but in a deleted scene he is later communicating with the Other without it. In Thor: Ragnarok, he appears before Thor in the dungeons as an intangible illusion while physically being elsewhere. Loki learned this ability from his mother Frigga. Doctor Strange (2016): This is one of the sorcerers' main skills: being able to project their astral forms out of their bodies. Strange, the Ancient One and even Kaecilius's mook Lucian use it. In fact, most of the fight between Strange and Lucian is between their astral forms. Avengers: Endgame: When Professor Hulk goes back to 2012 and meets the Ancient One to get the Time Stone, the Ancient One forces Hulk's astral form out of his body so she can explain why she can't give away the Stone to him. Notably, Hulk's astral form is that of an untransformed Bruce Banner. Spider-Man: No Way Home: Taking a page from the Ancient One, Doctor Strange forcibly ejects Spider-Man's astral form from his body to prevent Peter from running off with the MacGuffin that will force the multiversal villains back to their respective times. Unfortunately for Strange, Peter's physical body is playing keep-away thanks to his Spider-Sense, allowing his astral form to reconnect with his body and make his escape. |

The Stormlight Archive: Entering Shadesmar seems to involve this trope. Since it is the Cognitive Realm, this makes sense. All the Surges touch on the Cognitive Realm to some extent, but Soulcasting and Elsecalling are the ones keyed to it the most. Elsecallers not only have the ability to project their minds through Soulcasting, but also to travel there directly with Elsecalling. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The astral projection spell, naturally. It's higher-level magic than plane shift, which instantly teleports the caster and any fellow travelers to a given plane, but astral projection works a bit differently. The subjects' bodies go into suspended animation as they send their astral forms, which are identical to their physical bodies save for a a silvery cord of infinite length extending behind them, to the Astral Plane, where they can search for a color pool linking to another plane of existence. Once on that plane, a duplicate body is created for the subject, and should it be "killed" or the caster decide to end the spell prematurely, everyone's souls get retracted along their silver cords back to their real bodies, which are unaffected (save for occasional complaints of a headache). So long as any planar travelers' original bodies are well-protected, astral projection is thus a safe way to explore the cosmos... with the big caveat that should they run into the rare threat capable of severing the silver cord of their astral forms - such as the teeth or claws of an astral dreadnought, or a githyanki's silver sword - the victim's soul is separated from their body, instantly killing them. Some fiends learn the trick of projecting their ethereal forms from their slumbering physical bodies to engage in some Demonic Possession. This comes with the restriction that they can only project themselves onto the Ethereal Plane or the same plane their comatose bodies are on, which means that if someone or something around you is being possessed, there's a hibernating fiend somewhere relatively close. As of 5th Edition, Monks have the "Way of the Astral Self" subclass, which is an unusual variant of this trope that overlaps heavily with Fighting Spirit. These martial artists learn how to manifest their astral selves while remaining conscious and fully in control of their corporeal bodies. The result is that they can punch you in the face with their physical arms and their astral arms in the same flurry of blows, look through the eyes of their astral visage to pierce darkness, or protect their physical body with their astral form. It's also noted that, unlike with the astral projection spell, these Monks' astral selves are not necessarily identical to their corporeal bodies, and instead take forms that reflect each individual's values and conception of their true self. |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Aang can astrally project into the spirit world (or accidentally into the material one). The Legend of Korra later confirms that non-Avatar people can do this as well. Korra does this so she can fight the Dark Avatar. It also revealed earlier in the series that at the time of his death, Iroh did this, and his spirit became a permanent resident of the Spirit World. Jinora is found to be very talented at this in the third season. This becomes important when the team reaches Ba Sing Se. |

In Gunnerkrigg Court going out-of-body allows to see other Etheric entities and magic in colour, over grey shapes of the material world, and even communicate "invisibly" — unless there's another observer in the same state, of course. Strong reactions translate to the body — Antimony and George during the memory-dump didn't move, but wept. Later when Annie saw Lindsay and Bud kissing and when Red was surprised by Annie's trick this reflected in appropriate grimaces on their bodies. At least Gillitie Wood creatures turned humans can leave their bodies "on autopilot" speed-typing the lesson in the real world while they fly around and are distracted by something more interesting ("We's don't need our minds to learn dis junk!") and create illusions from memory if they concentrate a little. | |

Later on, Ahriman forces Othere Wyrdmake into astral combat by yanking the latter’s astral form out of his body. In Betrayer, the World Eaters Librarians can temporarily merge their astral forms together, forming a gestalt entity called the Communion. In this form, their combined psychic might is so great that they manage to go toe-to-toe with Lorgar in astral combat for a short time. |

In doing so, Zamasu destroys all life in the Multiverse, gods and mortals, and fulfills his goal: to create a Multiverse with only Zamasu as its sole inhabitant. Fortunately, Future Zen'O erases him before he could spread to other timelines. | |

Warhammer 40,000 Expanded Universe: In various novels, astral projection is a common ability for powerful psykers and sorcerers: Horus Heresy: In A Thousand Sons, Magnus the Red uses an elaborate ritual to project his astral form halfway across the galaxy in order to warn the Emperor about Horus’s impending betrayal. Later on, Ahriman forces Othere Wyrdmake into astral combat by yanking the latter’s astral form out of his body. In Betrayer, the World Eaters Librarians can temporarily merge their astral forms together, forming a gestalt entity called the Communion. In this form, their combined psychic might is so great that they manage to go toe-to-toe with Lorgar in astral combat for a short time. Path of the Eldar: Thirianna gains the ability to astral project as she progresses along the Path of the Seer. She tests it out by exploring the corridors of the Webway, only to run afoul of daemons when she ventures too far. Ravenor: The titular Ravenor can project his consciousness across interplanetary distances, and can enter the minds of other people to either take control of them or hide himself from other psykers. He also gets into astral combat with hostile psykers on several occasions. |

Shadowrun: Astral travel is a standard mage ability, and very useful for scouting since astral security is less common than physical or cyber-security. But you still have to watch out for wards, spirits, dual-natured critters that can perceive and interact with the astral, or even a topiary wall as you can't move through any living being's astral self. Also, it's difficult to find your body if it's been moved while you were projecting, Shedim can possess it as if it was a corpse, and anything that manages to kill your astral self kills you. | |

Goblins in the Castle: While visiting Granny Pinchbottom in Goblins on the Prowl, Fauna receives a potion called Sleep Walk, with enough for four or five uses. It grants the user the ability to project out of their body, and is mostly safe, but has a time limit of two hours before the drinker is shut out of their body. Also, they aren't completely invisible — some people can see them out of the corner of their eye, and others will think they've seen a ghost. Fauna gifts it to William (since she's wearing the gift that was meant for him and can't get it off), who ends up using it to keep in contact with Fauna and the others who are following after him to rescue him when he's abducted by the giant toad. | |

Caspian Knoll of the Astral Dawn series is perhaps the most powerful astral projector there's ever been. Caspian actually managed to astral project into the astral plane and back again while his body slept in his bedroom over the course of a night. The second time Caspian astral projected, he realized he did so with the aid of a special ankh he bought in the city. His body is also left behind during the day instead of night. The third time Caspian astral projects is after he is knocked unconscious at a funeral. Caspian's son astral projects to the Land of Nod and gets stuck there, prompting Caspian to astral project again after many years. |

In the movie Just Like Heaven we think one of the characters is a ghost through most of the film, but it turns out the character in question is in a coma and An Astral Projection, Not a Ghost. The latter part of the movie is trying to prevent the person's life support from being shut off. | |

AMBER: Journeys Beyond: The titular AMBER device allows the wearer to do this, in this case to project one's mind into that of a ghost's. Prior to the events of the game, however, its inventor, Roxy, used a flawed prototype, leaving her projections stuck among the ghosts. Your objective is to help the ghosts pass on so that her mind can be reintegrated using the various machines in her house. | |

The 4400: In "Audrey Parker's Come and Gone", the title character, an elderly free spirit, gains the power of astral projection after taking promicin. When she separates her consciousness from her body, she sees herself as the young woman that she was in the 1950s. Audrey uses her ability to travel throughout Seattle and observe the lives of its residents. After she is murdered while outside of her body, Audrey's consciousness survives. She discovers that her presence causes interference in electronic devices and NTAC determines what has happened as a result. Marco compares Audrey's disembodied consciousness to a signal which is disrupting the electrical fields of various machines. Audrey is able to alert NTAC that she was murdered and they are able to track down her killer before her consciousness fades away entirely. | |

Doctor Strange: This is one of the many mystic arts that Doctor Strange has mastered. He can also pull someone else's astral form out of his/her body, though the other person usually freaks out and needs constant reassurance that everything is okay. Strange bypasses the whole "physical body left helpless" thing; his body simply can't be harmed while he's not in it. However, this is an incredibly dangerous spell that leaves the body vulnerable and is fatal after 24 hours. Strange barely even hesitates to use it◊. Inevitably, someone who sees his astral form will mistake him for a decedent, so he has to emphasize that he's An Astral Projection, Not a Ghost. Of course, he never makes that mistake himself. | |

Charmed (1998): Prue develops this as a power in the second season although it's treated more like cloning. A warlock in Season One displays a more traditional version of the power; he is invisible to others (meaning he can spy on the girls) and he is able to influence people by whispering into their ear. He uses this to simultaneously make Prue steal a tiara from the auction house and make her believe she's just locking up like normal, leading to her arrest. The power returns in Season 7 when the girls are taught the power by Leo (who learnt it from Prue) offscreen and use it to distract Zankou and trick the authorities into believing they'd died in the explosion that killed the Nexus. |

Something like this happens in the Pokémon: The Original Series episode "The Tower of Terror" where Ash visits the Pokèmon tower in hopes of catching a ghost type Pokèmon that can help him beat Sabrina. While trying to capture one, he and Pikachu get knocked out by a falling chandelier and Haunter takes the opportunity to pull their spirits out of their bodies. Ash discovers that the ghost Pokèmon just wanted some friends to play with, but tells them that he can't stay with them because he has to continue his quest to become a Pokèmon master. The ghost Pokèmon are disappointed by this, but they allow Ash and Pikachu to return to their bodies. | |
