First of all, let me apologize when I come off a little harsh, it's for the better, and I really don't hold anything against you personally - you're just asking, and I realize that.
First of all, you haven't made it quite clear what you mean by 'pocket realm' and apparently the need for one undermines the common usage of the phrase 'astral travel', so that may need some definition too. What is astral travel to you, that there may be any kind of necessity of a pocket realm?
Now, there is such a thing as a dream realm, i.e., a structured recurring location of varying dimensions which can be revisited during meditation and especially lucid dreaming, but that is a very advanced practice that, if you're interested, you might as well get started on now, and sigilization is not the most ineffective way to get there.
However, as far as pocket realms for physical travel... use common sense here. Have you ever heard of anyone - in recent years, in terms of local/current history, not anecdotal stories of ancient sages from other cultures - teleporting, or disappearing from one place and arriving shortly after or simultaneously elsewhere? Do you really think if it was possible you'd be ready for it? Do you think that it's just a casual art, should it exist, that someone is going to share it with you on this forum? Again, I don't have anything against you personally, so don't take this personally, but don't approach the occult with a disregard for common sense. Be open minded, of course, but also take some of these things into consideration. You're 22 years old (so you tell us anyway) - old enough to know better by now.
Clarify exactly what you're asking about here, define it according to your own understanding of what you think these terms mean - given your question I'm not convinced they mean the same things that they traditionally mean - and we'll take it from there. We'll just drop the 'physical travel' bit.
peace V
