There is a lot of stuff on that website but you can search for "life after death".

If you are dreaming about or "visiting" a dead ex boyfriend then there may be something from what ever you get to resolve your feelings about him and the relationship you had with him. I don't think this is astral travel, I think you are dreaming, some kind of semi-lucid dreaming.
