Astral Travel was derived from an actual out-of-body experience and its likeness to my own dreaming experience. I was in a serious car wreck (in real/waking life) and lost consciousness for about ten minutes. In that experience, I saw my body and watched the paramedics put a halo on me. "I" was floating above. The feeling and experience was like those I have in my dream world. The painting depicts the spirit exiting the body and entering another dimension (may it be the dream world or beyond).
