I love your article, and totally agree! I tried Astral Projection, but fell asleep. When My Muse visits, I am in another world, another time, and it didn't cost a thing! If only I can write it as vividly as I feel it...
I think I play the "What If..." game on a weekly basis (some weeks on a daily basis at this time), and I choose a different "Do Over" Point each time. I might not be where I am now, but hopefully I would be in a better position than now. Then I stop dreaming and deal with life. Thank Heavens for authors and books to take us out of the mundane!
