You are fully aware of this, as I can tell you that my shift from imagination to sensing like I was actually being there was quite dramatic.
If you experience the "shift" of awareness over to another tier of consciousness/dimension whatever you want to call it, there is no doubting that when it happens what so ever. Imagination doesn't produce dramatic feedback to our sensory perceptions. Your method is different but just as valued so thanks for adding that.
Part of all this is learning to feel confident in allowing, freeing and utilising your non physical aspects to just simply perceive as the observer without passing judgement or ego trying to box and label the experience. Doubts can't belong in this, they are counter productive to the part of your mind that doesn't even doubt but just experiences and records everything 24/7 in raw format. In astral projecting no matter what method you chose to use, you are reaching that part of you that just experiences with out all the filters and analysis of this and that. Reflection on the event can come later /afterwards.
Now I know Seeker mentioned a bit before somewhere about how we learn to deal with our doubts through our own sense of validations and confirmations. With experience of getting those, in time you start to develop an instinct for just knowing what is and what is not and knowing what are confirmations for you and what are not. So if the doubts are still bothering you, try counteract them by changing the scope of your projection. Try sticking to your locale so you have more chance of validating this. For example, your method is a method that can used for remote viewing. Change it up a little by setting your intention for "projecting in live time" now go and hangout somewhere, a view from a window in your house or a park or something, and using your method place your self in the landscape, wait for the shift to occur, when you know you no longer imagining, ask your self to view what colour and model the next car will be to come around the corner. or what the next person to walk by will look like or be wearing.You get the idea. Keep doing this until you get astral views of things that align with/in 3d live time, often you will see things that are astrally there but not materialised in this physical dimension, so beware of that lol.
