astral body
An astral body is a so-called supernatural spare part devised to escape from the flawed vehicle of the physical body. Dreamers believe it allows them to float freely above the gravity of work and responsibility. In reality, it's nothing more than a shaky phantom smudged on the floor of the conference room, an illusion that management considers wholly irrelevant. The moment one proclaims an out-of-body experience, a storm of emails from superiors rushes in, reminding the wanderer of the cruel gravitational pull of the real world.
