OBE & Lucidity

On Wednesdays i got to my local Buhhidst temple to have a relaxing evening meditating, even though I dont prescribe to any given religion i am very open to different teachings i try to be like a sponge with a filter. Ok so i personally struggle with meditation because i have back problems from an accident form my youth. but i go with a group of 3 kids and grade 11 and a fellow grade 12, and last time i was there, after the bell had rung and we were signaled to open our eyes form our 30min meditation, i glanced over at my two friends and saw my friend 12TW with a strange look on his face, i noticed him looking at his hands and touching his pillow and etc all in a strange way. after we were dismissed for the evening he shared a strange experiance with my friend 11K and myself he told us that he had a really strange experience wile he was meditating. it went somthing like this.

He was sitting waiting in his meditative state, then he noticed a kind of 3rd person view on himself, he saw himself sitting in blackness in this meditative position, it slowly started to rain and he thought what if i could slow the rain then he noticed a large rain drop touch his hand then another large drop on his other hand, he then witnessed the rain enter his body with a bright blue glow crawling up his arm and into his chest. soon after a drop hit him in his head and brought the energy from his chest into his face. Next thing he remembered he was looking at himself sitting no longer in the black space but in the temple as he was in reality. he stared at himself which a clear and common sign of OBE or astral projection or Spirit walks. he then looked around the room at 11k and myself and walked past us, he wondered about the solidity of this world and tried to step on my pillow his foot went right through so he continued on his path he walked out of the main temple room and into the looby, then continuing on trough the door he said he tried to open the door but his hands went through the door so he just walked through and continued through another glass door and onto outside. he sat down on the steps, he looked around to see and empty road, parking lot and etc, this is a busy place he was around by a macdonalds and a main road. then he said he felt a weird disturbance and was then trusted back into his body in a second, he said it was because the women in front of him shifted on her pillow and broke his concentration. this is when i opened my eyes and say his state of confusion, now im very open as i said, and 12TW is a very reliable person not one to make things up just isnt who he is. I have never had a OBE etc but i have heard and read about them before, this is my first second hand a count. I thought it was interesting that he had been in a meditation lucid dream remember he had controlled the rain in his dream then continued into a Astral projection.

Do tell what do u think of this be open minded.
Have you ever had anything like this?
Would you think that taking control of your subconscious in a lucid dream would make it easier to take control over your soul to have an Out of Body Experience?
Do you think we have souls?
