That to me seems like you're attracting a neg on purpose doing that. Yikes.

You say your astral body is in a prison that feels safe, obviously this can't be a prison then. I think your subconsious has created an image of maybe an unconscious fear of AP. The 'prison' being your physical body that you feel safe in and don't want to leave. The one window and moonlight I can't answer but ask yourself what it means to you.
When you see your astral body here, are you able to move around this 'prison' at all?
There is also the possibily that your not supposed to AP until a certain time, but this is very rare.
....
And just out of curiosity, what AP method are you using? Have you tried any others that don't involve visualising your astral body?

I tried one trick that works for me to see the aura (I really think I just haven't trained my eyes to see it properly, and haven't really had a need to since I can feel it). It's just the 'contrast' trick, which works for me quite well as long as I can get the subject to sit still long enough for me to concentrate on it... after that, if I don't take my eyes off the subject, I can see it even if they are moving. Anyways, I used my hand. What I could see is white, about 3mm surrounding my hand, and extending to about 1.5cm from my fingertips. There were webs of black between my fingers, but I couldn't see any color at all. I know it's not a proper way, but it works for the time being. Any thoughts on this?

Again, I will do some meditation tonight and try what you suggested. I already know all this stuff, and I don't know why I don't try it. Being very much into music and the beats, I found that using drums (I use a software program called Reason) I can find a beat, and modify it as I feel as I meditate, then I like to slow down the beat in my head until I can almost stop it, turning 1 minute into a half hour or more. Once I get to this point I can clear my chakras quite easily, without having to even go through a proper cleansing technique (starting at the bottom and moving to each, exiting the 'waste' through the top of my head). I can instead clear them all out into a ball that expands to envelope my body, then I shed it like a skin.

Anyways, I've never really had a reason to AP until recently. I've some questions to ask several entities that I cannot even begin to explain... there are no combination of words. It all had to do with a sudden hard line of the separation of 'good' and 'evil'. This is why I decided to bring this all up. I do like my place, though... I don't get bothered, and I don't have to deal with the 'good' pushing their 'evil' on me, and the 'evil' pushing their 'good' on me. Really can't explain any better than that.

As far as OOBE�s, never had a reason for that except for what could probably be considered an evil deed, depending on how you look at it. It's not selfish from one point, but it is from another, but it doesn't violate free will. Also been wanting to do a bit of necromancy recently (talking to the spirits that have chosen to stay here on earth... 'ghosts'. Ones who have been here for the longest, basically). No, not the Necromancy that occultists seem to fancy. They only force entities to talk (more like bug them until the entity gets quite perturbed... stupid ritualists).

Again, thanks for the input. Any more ideas are definitely welcome.

When a person just starts out seeing aura colors it is an off-white color. With practice, you will start to see the different shades. As a rule, always pray for accuracy before seeing or sensing auras (especially Dominant Aura Colors), as doing either is a Gift of the Spirit too.
Also, remember to breathe in white light with each inhalation of breath as you do this. Some refer to this as Pranic breathing. One of the pitfalls that one has in the beginning of auric perception exercises, is headaches, as you are using "muscles" that you don't normally use. Pranic breathing helps to alleviate that problem.
Since you are a perceiver instead of a seer, another approach would be to first sincerely pray for discernment, then look at a person for a moment and close your eyes and sense the colors around him. Others will be able to do this and see the colors instead of sensing them. Some will be able to do both. If you can do one, you can learn to do the other.

I've seen alot of different methods. I have seen 'quick' methods that seem to have worked for some, but from most of what I've read and discussed about it with people, it' really only brings about more of a chance of 'Lucid dreaming' rather than a proper projection or experience. There really are shortcuts in life, but those shortcuts are only meant for few.

Basically what I've noticed is that people who want to be noticed, the people that others will pay attention to more.... the people that, when they walk into a room, you know it, they all project their energies a greater distance. Being sensitive to this is how I learned to control it a bit better than just through the subconscious actions.

Oh yeah.... I tried to do a laying meditation last night... about 5 minutes into it I unexpectedly fell asleep, lol... slept quite well, though. I feel great this morning, so I can't complain at all

Maybe it is just me, but I have trouble embracing any teaching that promotes a spiritual plan of dolphins (#25).

For some, it is a nice notion to consider playful animals in the ocean to be on a high spiritual level. But it is not something that any rationale individual takes seriously.
Do you channel dolphin spirits?
...
On the other hand, I have posted a very good argument that is supportive of the idea that all souls are "fractals of light" of The Original Creator and that it was His plan from the very begining to eventually come into this timeline.
Dolphins are intelligent but they are not on a higher level than humans who are on a spiritual path of service to others and living by The Golden Rule. If they were, they would have chosen to incarnate into humanoid forms, where you can spiritually develop and be more of service to others than you can as a fish.
