Interesting D.O. but I really did think I exprienced a OBE once or twice. |

It has come to my attention that more and more people claim they have managed to separate themselves from their bodies and float around the environment. In other words, have experienced an "out of body" episode. What strikes me as odd is that none of these people will admit the possibility that this was simply sleep paralysis and hypnagogic imagery followed by a dreamscene. While I do accept the possibility of Out of Body experiences, I do not believe that a great amount of people have experienced them. Therefore, individuals who claim they have OBEs should definitely "test" their state when they have these experiences. |

Since it happend before any of my lucid dreams I can't really judge it 100% I would have to try it next time I have a LD. |

A better test is to open a book or other piece of unread literature and set it down near you before you "seperate". read some of the text through your non-physical "eyes", then when you wake up, re-read it and if it the same than its legit |

Man I have been wanting to start a topic about this for AWHILE. But yeah D.O. you are absolutely right. I was one of those people who thought I was experiencing OBEs this way until I tried to actually PROVE it by using a photo album. I would lay down and place the photo album on my nightstand and flip to a random page without looking. Then I would try to look at the photo during my "OBE" experience and would prove to the whole world that I WAS HAVING OBEs!! |

My Question to you D.O. is have you tried to do this technique with clock during one of your OBE's? |

I support the D. O.'s point of view. He might have used somewhat harsh words, but in the essence he's correct. Too many ppl are absolutely misguided in their views on OBEs/Astral projection and whatever else. The bad thing is that they involve more and more ppl and spread their ignorance. |

I think Ev said everything I was trying to say...just alot better. |

Hey D.O. just so you know...I'm not trying to be critical but try not to double post. You can edit your posts to add to them if you like rather than posting 3 times in a row. |

I compleely share DO's skepticism. I think it is a very probable hypothesis there is nothing verifiable that OOBEs are any experience "apart" from the body. |

Yep, I agree with the sentiment. |

Unless otherwise stated, views expressed in this post are not necessarily representative of the official Dream Views stance. Hell, it's probably not even representative of me.
Hey! Isn't it possible to read a real time book in a LD??? B/c Splash & I do it all the time in LDs that I call S**-***... If that isn't possible, then I must be getting more wisdom teeth! |
