I've been doing lucid dreaming for about 6 years and always saw "astral projecting" as a specific form of lucid dreaming with esoteric undertones, which is not worth doing.
However, I am broke and have magical powers and really want to attend Manifest, so I'll try to astral project there. Let me know if you felt my presence!
If I do not attempt to astral project, this will resolve No.
Resolves Yes, if I will attempt to astral project, feel as if I "exit my body", "travel" to Manifest and realistically perceive the place and the attendees.
Will I *manifest* at *Manifest*?

The nearer the resolution of the market is, the more I think this wasn't a good idea at all...
It seemed like a fun idea at first, but actually resolving it well is so hard; I bet Yes on this myself (initially to motivate myself to actually try this), so I have a strong incentive to interpret whatever I will experience as "astral projection" + the term itself is an unscientific, new age concept which cannot be objectively verified. I lured a lot of people to this market through boosts and now the resolution is almost guaranteed to be unsatisfying/controversial. I will try to be as honest as possible, but I'm not even sure there is a defined line between "astral projection" and "lucid dream at Manifest". I probably won't experience a lucid dream either, it's a very unusual happy occurrence for me, not something I can evoke with certainty at will.
(my solution so far - sell most of my Yes before the attempt + resolve N/A if I feel that resolving this Yes wouldn't be entirely honest/clear)
@Logaems case for having a higher likelihood of success - I've transitioned from being the ever-studying lo-fi girl to a DALL-E-generated version of Quaithe, the mysterious magician and shadowbinder from Asshai in the Shadow lands at the far east of the mapped continent of Essos...
@Logaems I think it would be dishonorable to resolve this N/A; you'd probably be doing it to avoid losses from bad bets. Perform the experiment you described
and resolve to the result. If you're able to determine any details about the Manifest venue that you didn't already know, which are then confirmed by Manifest attendees, resolve YES. Otherwise, resolve NO.
If someone else tries this, let me know so we can meet at astral-plane Manifest.
Will you be verifying that the details you see in the astral projection are indeed the correct details at Manifest? (Details that you did not already know in advance.)
@IsaacKing I will, though I don't think that this will work (it is still just a realistic depiction of my (subconscious) expectations about Manifest interpreted by my prefrontal cortex)
I'm diligently practising my astral projecting skills by deeply meditating and perceiving the astral plane...
@Logaems Have you ever successfully astral projected anywhere else before?
(though I'm kinda skeptical of the whole concept of astral projecting...)
@duck_master I have successfully had lucid dreams beginning in the room where I sleep, though I guess "astral projecting" is supposed to feel different (like an "out of body experience"). I would accept these types of lucid dreams as astral projecting, as I'm also not sure, whether "astral projecting" really exists. I'll try though, and imo the self-suggestion will cause me to perceive the state as something like astral projecting.
@Logaems The criteria for Yes are basically just that it begins with the feeling that I am exiting my body and the world which I will be perceiving will not look too surreal/different from reality.
