@ flowofmysoul , blobularwindmil, and Zoth : I think you are saying the same thing but with some kind of different terminology.
I agree with what you say, even if I don't see the need of speaking about another realm for dreams/OBE/SP/AP to happen (blobularwindmil).
I also use the word "hallucination" for a more general meaning.
Since our brain is creating what we directly perceive from the sensory inputs that are just electrical signals, (I'm not saying that the brain creates the reality but he creates our perception of the reality), I consider our waking life as a hallucination.
Look, Our brain is totally isolated in the cranial box and is absolutely in the dark, but we see light, we see the external world.
Obviously, this light is a hallucinated transcription of complex electrical signals that the brain receives from our eyes, that are like web cams. Same thing with the other sensory organs.
The brain only receives electrical inputs, but we don't see electrical inputs, we see complex images, feel concrete sensations, smell and feel kinda real stuffs.
So, we are not perceiving what our brain really receives (electrical inputs) but a complex multisensory realm.
This way our waking life is a hallucination.
It's like we sat in an armchair, in a closed room, looking at the painting of a painter that is looking at the external world through the window (he is the only one who can see something though this window) and who is painting on the board we are looking at what he can see through the window.
We have always been on this armchair and we have never seen anything else than this animated painting which is not the reality but a graphic representation of the world that only the painter can see.
For us, reality is the painted board.
To me, if I use this symbolic of the Painter, Dreams,LD, OBE's, Partial hallucinations(mixing things that are really here with things that aren't, like it can happen on SP),Astral Projection, everything is drawn by the same painter (by the brain), on the same board (in the brain).
When we are awake, the painter uses what he can see through the window, when we are asleep, he uses his imagination, but for us, it seams as real as the reality because we just see a painted board.
There is no need for another room (realm) for this to happen. Only the external world, a dark room, a window, an armchair, a painter and a board. (so we just need a body with a brain, sensory organs, our consciousness, and obviously a real world for our waking life).
