What, exactly, do you mean? It sounds like you are claiming a wealth of knowledge on the validity of OBE's. I am assuming you must have had \"OBE's\" before, so have you tried experiments to validate them? I don't think it is impossible to replicate an almost flawless version of reality in an LD because we live in it every day. The only way I've ever seen of validating an obe is the book method, which is where you leave an open book somewhere in your room. This book would have to be something you've never read before, and you would have to read some text and verify it after the experience is over. I do believe OBE is possible, and perhaps they can have \"elements of the astal\" in them, but for someone to claim that they've had one I think they should pass a rock solid test like this.
PS: you can also do this in a dream...you know S**-***, b/c Splash & I have read open books b4, & when we rise in the morning, we flip the pages! So it is also possible to do this in a special type of dream.
