One particular type of spiritual nonpareil that often is not associated with astral projection is the occurrence of doppelgangers. These instances of non-physical activity involve seeing a double or a look-alike of oneself or someone else. Often, these incidents are deemed paranormal in nature however, they are also [probably more accurately] considered a type of astral projection experience.
The reason doppelgangers are considered to be a product of astral travel is because the appearance of a double tends to occur under the same kinds of circumstances that perpetuate astral projection. Sickness, fatigue, and distress can all produce a sort of astral twin that can carry on outside the body.
One very notable difference between the typically projected soul and the doppelganger is that the look-alike is actually a physical entity that one can make close contact with. Many reports pertaining to these spiritual "stunt doubles" describe the person who is seeing their twin reaching out and touching them, and feeling a physical awareness of that touch. Most people are not alert enough to see their own astral bodies during the moment of projection, so another difference between traditional projection and the existence of a doppelganger is that the person whom the shadow twin has imitated can, in fact, see said lookalike.
Also unlike typical astral projection, where only you know where exactly you are, other people can see a doppelganger and may mistake it for the real person. But why would two of the same person need to exist in the same world? It is hypothesized that a person's doppelganger is one of the halves that make up the entire person, and when a person's spiritual twin exits the body, it often has set out on a mission of sorts that it feels it must complete perhaps to do something that the person themselves does not want to do or is unable to do.
The opinion of the nature of doppelgangers remains undecided; many speculate that one's double is evil, and that seeing your spiritual twin is a sign of imminent doom. Others claim doppelgangers are just sort of "there" and are soulless, walking entities. There aren't any accounts of anyone intentionally projecting their ghostly twin, meaning this type of event is not something that can be performed willingly. The emergence of the doppelganger may simply be a manifestation of a person's grief, anger, anxiety and depression once their sanity has reached its limit for the aforementioned emotions.
It seems, despite all other hypotheses pertaining to this paranormal curiosity, doppelgangers are a form of projection at their core. An exact copy of a person that can carry out the very same appearance and behavior as the original individual could ostensibly only truly be achieved if the twin was projected from the owner's body. - 30309
