Thread: Is OBE a form of Lucid Dreaming or not?

To thine own self be true.

If some people can AP (mystical) as frequently as the scientific lot have OBEs, then if they're not dishonest to themselves they should be able to prove if they're literally removed from their physical body. Unfortunately, I think those that tend to believe in AP are those who, at the onset, are not critical, sceptical thinkers, and are convinced that it's a real phenomenon on emotional grounds rather than rational grounds.

If I were to suddenly AP, literally, then I would look to disprove its reality. If I could not, and had evidence supporting its reality then I would be forced to accept it. How I would convince another, however, I have no idea. But I'd certainly not be dismissive and defensively hostile when questioned.


Edit. - I could easily convince another by having them observe me during sleep whilst I tell them what's in the next room. Easy.
