The idea behind the experiments was pretty simple.
Do a whole bunch of projectios,
find all the confirmed ones,
figure out what's common with all of them and what's different from unconfirmed ones,
do more projections,
guess which ones might be real or not based on what you found was common,
find confirmed ones to see how right you were,
repeat and refine.
From that I learned there's a bunch of things that seem common in real projections
Lack of control: much like real life, you can't just imagine things into or out of existence nor can you control what other people say. You are just another part of the environment.
Energy usage: Energy drains from the chest and/or head and goes... somewhere... upon successful connection. Energy is the most imporant part. If I don't have enough energy then it doesn't matter what I do, no projection will happen. The constant drain also limits total time I can stay in a projection and sudden drops of large chunks energy are highly correlated with memory loss.
Extra vividness: Everything tends to appear more vivid compared to what I'm capable of imagining even when purposefully trying to trick my senses via meditation. Often vividness will suddenly jump when a successful connection is made. It's not uncommon for me to see things at far greater resolutions than my physical eyes are capable of, complete with peripheral vision which I also physically don't have anymore. Extra interesting since I'm not even capable of "seeing" imagined or remembered images at that detail. Vividness can scale to the point where you will lose all awareness of he physical body and will become a completely immersive as if you are physically there. However the deeper I've gone, the stronger the kruger effect gets as well, so it's kinda a double edged sword.
Real people emit energy: Thanks to the more than a hundred shared dreams I've had or induced with Dreamsoap and a couple other people I've learned that you can feel if someone is real or just representation. If the people are real, then the projection is too. Whcih brought up an interesting conundrum. What happens if you're sharing a dream or projection with someone and there's a third person there who's also emitting energy who you have no ability to confirm with after the fact? Not jus because you don't know them and can't exchange info in the dream but because they are claming that they don't even live on the physical plane? Do you decide that person must not be real since you can't confirm it, thus ignoring all the correlation with people emitting energy being real? Or do you go with the data and admit that, even if you can't 100% prove it, they're probably real. Says nothing about anything they say though, just that they themselves probably exist as an individual.
Getting sucked into the projection: After a certain threshold, sometimes at connection and sometimes a little after, you will just start getting dragged in whether you like it or not. Sometimes you need to fight to stay in your body. This can go beyond projection to just straight up leaving your body.
This list is not perfect. There's extra caveats I've found that seem to have a lot to do with how time works. I've had some times where I thought I had everything right for a poltergeist, went and found something that completely matched what I distinctly remember doing. Only to find out later it was a hoax. Likewise I've had things that I thought were just my imagination turn out to be real. This is why it's not perfect. But its imperfection seems like it could be because of multiple timelines. It's possible that things that have all the right predictive characteristics do in fact happen... just not always here. It's possible that the hoax thing I remembered still happened somewhere else but the version here was done as a hoax. No way of knowing. Also shared expereinces can only be confirmed if both people remember them. Not remembering could be from anything from simply not remembering to it not being real to it not having happened for both people yet because time's a bitch which I detailed a bit here:

Dreamsoap and I once had a shared dream where I had my part first, woke up and told her about it because I was so certain it was shared only for her to tell me she didn't have that dream. A month later she tells me all excitedly about this dream she had that she thought I might've been in, and I pointed out to her that it's the dream that I'd tried telling her about a month ago that she forgot about. So I was right, it was shared, just not for her yet. Probably typos in here but too tired to proofread.
I remember something a while back about there being a shortage of ...or not many NDE's reported from Germany (might have been the former east)
