In fact you are correct. I do believe I'm experiencing AP in my mind/consciousness and that it's probably just a projection of thought. Of course, this is how I interpret my physical universe experiences too.
I know it's more common to believe the physical universe is real and solid and the astral universe is a delusion. But I see no logical reason to make that distinction -- I've seen no evidence that this is so. It seems silly to draw the line there just because I appear to spend more time in the physical universe. Perhaps in the astral world I'm a very late sleeper.
I figure that if one universe may be a delusion, I must remain open to the possibility that the other is as well. I don't see how I could possibly conclude that one universe is real and solid but not the other.
My astral body is no more or less real to me than my physical body. They're just different forms. I don't have a strong preference between the two, although I do wish I was more competent with my astral body. Giving the command, "Float right, dammit!" hasn't been all that effective for me, but I'm gradually improving with practice.
