Projections of subtle bodies into planes of existence

“Traditionally it is said that there are more than eighty stages of yoga nidra. It starts with simple body awareness and ‘so-called’ astral travelling but includes awareness of our inner self, knowledge of the karan sharir (causal body).” http://sunlightenment.com/trataka-concentrated-gazing-yoga-magazine/

Sub-planes of the aitheric plane, as destinations in aitheric projection (“the etheric body is like a glove of energy”, stationed in the “the Real Time Zone or the RTZ”):-

“enter the dreams of the sleeping one”.

“The lower realm called the totemic plane is another destination of the etheric body . We can go to hear totemic animal advice , We purposely lower the vibration slightly by raising heavy water energy to fall into the realm below the earth and into the caves and tunnels of Mother Earth .” {An instance of this would be the Lost River sinkhole where flying-saucers landed.}

Mental plane, as in mental projection (“the mental body of an adept will appear like clairvoyantly after projecting from the moon stone . The face will have be recognisable but have a 'mini me ' quality because the entire projection is about half the size of the human projecting . The arms appear uselessly tucked into the flanks and the legs are missing as a vestigial wisp .” {The sun-deity is said (according to the Puran.a-s) to lack feet.}) :

various planets of ETs, such as “arcturians from Sirius ... and their planet is not in our solar system or even in our local universe . These beings are purple gray invertebrates ... .. ... There is a portal on the far left as you enter from the blue lodge side . There we found we could go to their planet to an underwater cave . We saw purple suns”.
