Who do you meet on your nightly travels and have you confirmed it?

I am new to this forum and to DELIBERATE astral travel. Currently I have not been successful but I have only just started again. I think I had some experiences when I was a kid but that's for another post. Anyway, my question is in regards to who you meet while astral traveling: Has anyone ever experimented to see if who you met is another person here on Earth? In other words, I understand that you can meet any kind of entity over there, but has anyone ever met other soul travelers who are currently living and if so, did you validate it by emailing each other, etc? I personally think, whether it is merely a mind trip or an actual linking up of greater knowing, actually leaving your body, what have you....that it is a very interesting and exciting concept/experience. However, I would also think it really neat to meet someone on the other side who then can confirm having the same experience later. I did something like this with my own sister but we were just very little. A little boy came to our window and took each of us on flights. Kind of like a Peter Pan sort of thing. Later, she and I started sharing our experience and shockingly knew what the other was talking about and even shared details. We were only little then so those details have left me but in getting reacquainted with the idea of Astral Travel, I suddenly had this memory. Anyone else experience this?
