As far as the astral i think one good example is turning into an animal during a dream esp a lucid one. Ive done this myself a few times but have never thought myself to be the animal. Anything along those lines as well as thinking one can shapeshift is abit nutters.
astrally it takes time to feel like a horse, wolf, or a bear but that's weird it's more of a zen practice to remove your ego to welcome the POV of another consciousness. you can merge consciousness with a lower consciousness like a bug because its easier to process and you would have less to focus on. merging consciousnesses would allow you to know what they feel and see from their eyes. CHANGING SHAPES physically outside of a human form is more of a myth.
I merely would assume or try to assume the shape of a particular animal in the dream. sometimes it would not work out right and was not always as vivid..as for taking on the consciousness of that particular animal as in seeing from their point of view i cannot say i have done.
