The ambitious practice of trying to build, modify, or manipulate structures within the astral plane. While most people are just trying to have an out-of-body experience, astral engineers want to construct astral temples, design cosmic gardens, or reroute the flow of ethereal energy. The problem, much like dream engineering, is that the astral plane is notoriously unstable and your beautifully designed temple is likely to collapse into a pile of floating geometric shapes the moment you try to open the astral door.
Example: "He spent months meditating to perfect his astral engineering skills, planning to build a magnificent crystal palace in the higher realms. When he finally projected, he managed to construct a single, wobbly, semi-transparent bench that immediately dissolved when a passing thought-bird landed on it."
