I read about astral projection and obe just now and I had an obe when I was about ten, or at least I think I did, it left me really shaken back then and I've always thought back on it with a weird feeling. I was awake when this happened, standing in a line with my friends holding a tray of food and suddenly I saw myself and the line and everything from slightly behind and above myself and it was really creepy. When I was back in my body a few seconds later I remember trying to tell my friends but don't remember what they said only that I was unsatisfied with their answer and doubted the experience because it didn't make sense.

Is this common or even likely that you have an OBE randomly while awake? I've gotten the impression it most often happens when you're asleep or in meditation.

I'm new to this so please bear with me.

Cheers
