In A Nightmare on Elm Street, Nancy usually astral projects into Freddie's astral world. Further, her astral body watches her physical body sleep in a lucid dream state. The astral projection concept in the horror film is known as an out-of-body-experience. A character enters the astral world/astral plane through their dreams. Astral projection is essentially an out-of-body-experience.
In the 80's horror movie, the majority of the characters that astral project through their dreams die in the astral world. The characters have little power in the astral world other than realizing their state of being in the dream world - lucid dreaming. Once reality of the dream world is realized, the characters are vulnerable to Freddie's powers.
You can tell the difference between the astral world and the physical world. In an allegorical sense, the red door symbolizes the evil in the physical world. The vibrant red door warns the audience of events to come. Nonetheless, the dull and lackluster colors in the astral world demonstrate the dream horror overpowering the victims' minds.
In A Nightmare on Elm Street, astral projection is a major concept. Even though astral projection is never directly mentioned, the notion of astral travel enables a character to unwillingly enter the astral world/astral plane through their dreams. Astral projection in A Nightmare on Elm Street is encoded as an out-of-body-experience (OBE). Astral projection and astral dreams in this 80's horror film master astral projection.
