Normally at first I end up in the Void. I wrote a long research article on it here on these sites of my own. And since you are a member there too you might have seen it also already as a 'sticky' on the Astralpulse, where we talk quite often about The Void, just a recent thread was made there again. If interested, see links below.

THE VOID

Recent AP thread:
Void question
www.astralpulse.com
I really believe we all go through the Void, even when we fall asleep. Regarding your 4 categories I think it might indeed be the enlarged (higher) or galactic Self too. I recently asked 'it' via my simplified interrogation method if I communicate with my Higher Self via the Void and the Void answered with a clear 'yes' signal (green light). So there you have it.
From there I have also a springboard to other astral/mental planes like most projectors do.
Never 'ended up' on a ET craft or similar, just once met the Tall Greys but not sure if it was in a craft since it was dark otherwise, probably it was even still in the Void (?) since I believe these folks can be/go anywhere anyway.
In-body experiences I only have a few ones with Chakra visualizing, either the green or the red one. They are spinning galaxies in themselves, beautiful to witness. Once in another experience I flew through all chakras and they were like rings of fire looking. I flew through them one by one. Like this picture but they were more white-ish looking:
I actually made a graphic on my own inspired by these 'rings of fire' that will serve as title page for my Retrievals book that will appear any time in the future (hopefully). See here. Looks cool, huh?
