Astral Projection can take you many places and give you many wonderful experiences, but there are several things to remember if your experiences are going to mean something. The astral environment is extremely receptive, what we have in our minds can show up instantly as thought forms. Sometimes these thought forms take on a life of their own and can be rather annoying, distracting the projector from what is more important.
If you go to bed thinking of a pink elephant, lo and behold, when you leave your body you may very well find one sitting on your bed. He may even be drinking a cup of tea, in the astral anything is possible. Or you may see pink grass as you're flying over beautiful valleys if pink is your predominant thought. Of course we may experience more constructive scenarios given to us by our higher self or guides to demonstrate something for our own spiritual progress. Guides don't usually give you a written piece of paper with all the answers, they demonstrate through 'moving pictures', if a picture paints a thousand words imagine a whole scene. Similar to a well-written play full of social comment, wisdom and inspiration.
So, how do we know the difference between a constructive scenario and thought forms that have no depth. As with most things it is through practice and personal experience but there are two necessary requirements, stay focused and remain objective. Staying focused will prevent your mind from producing all sorts of craziness, which will in turn loom up before you. Being objective will prevent you from jumping to conclusions and becoming too involved in what is happening. You must remain focused in your 'I', in your consciousness. Above all as soon as you wake up write everything down, insights and inspiration often pop into the mind while focused on writing. Analysing your out-of-body experiences will aid your progress the next time you have an astral projection.
Astral Projection is a wonderful way to grow spiritually but it is like any other process or learning experience, it involves hard work and concentration.
