I write as a hobby, and i get really into it. Like, i can sit there and just 'see' parts that i plan to write. For example, in one story of mine, my protagonist is running through a forest area, chased by a crazy dog-like monster creature the size of a house, and she leaps off a cliff and into a river below to get away from it. She washes down the river a ways before getting back on land. As i sat there and came up with that part of the story, i tried to put myself in my protagonist's shoes and imagine what it would have felt like: to run through the forest, smell the surrounding woods, see the trees and shadows they cast, feel the branches and leaves whip against skin, hear the creature giving chase and roaring as it closes in, feel the heart pounding, feel the emptiness of air after the leap, see the churning water below, hear the splash and feel the iciness of it all around, the sensation of being carried in the water.
So, if i think of scenes like that, and immerse myself and focus on what my protagonist would be experiencing -- what she sees, hears, smells, tastes, or feels -- in whatever scenarios i come up with, can i use that as a sort of exercise to develop my astral senses more? Or am i just getting caught up in my imagination and hindering my progress in doing so?
