Thread: Difference Between OBE and Lucid Dreaming???

^^ Sivason pretty much nailed it, but:

I've had many experiences that I imagine fit the popular definitions of OBE's, and, in all honesty, I was never impressed.

OBE's to me are the dullest experience on the lucid dreaming menu. Mine rarely ranged beyond the confines of my house or neighborhood, often with restricted movement, always with dull local scenery, and never with anything interesting to do. Just floating around my house is not my idea of a good time, I guess.

I would take even the dullest LD over an OBE any time, I think, because at least something new is happening, and my imagination is getting far more challenge and stimulation. As an extention to that: the potential for creativity, exploration, and imagination in a LD makes its experience vastly more valuable than an OBE. It could be me, but I have never understood the fascination with OBE's.

The point of saying it is that it's true..

Haha, I must agree and admit, OBEs are typically rather dull and even boring sometimes. But mainly when there's no one around, I've had some interesting experiences interacting with other things.
