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

cool so does your room have subtle differences to reality when that happens, or do the differences grow the further you get into the dream?

im just fascinated by the possibility of actually being lucid in your dream body in reality, but if its possible like in the carlos casteneda books, i would suspect only the very advanced would be able to pull it off

as i write this my dad is in the other room watching the x-lifes and mulder just started talking about some guy going round astral projecting and kiling people in that state. freaky chills up my spine....

I had a dream just recently about trying to lucid dream, I am in my room and it was identical to reality down to me opening and closing my eyes, repeating the words "I will lucid dream I will lucid" and moving around so I could get comfortable, eventually the sun came up in the dream and only then did I wake up in the middle of the night. Of course it was not an OBE or an LD but it just goes to show that you don't have to be in an OBE to experiance another form of reality.

Every WILD I have induced has resulted in me opening my eyes, believing I am awake, trying to get up, realising that I'm paralysed, and then in me rolling out of my paralysed body onto my room floor. Where I can turn around and see myself sleeping.

Just out of interest MrTransitory were you floating in such cases

whiterain, lol went down to get a cup of tea and saw the same show on, the guy thats doing it has no arms and legs. What are the chances...

Nope, no floating. I always feel restrained to begin with where I can move my eyes and....spine. When I roll out of my body, and then stand up, I am on my feet. Every WILD I've done never results in a further state beyond this: I am always in this altered version of my waking surroundings. I can't seem to enter 'a dream', so it's pretty boring actually. Because of this, I now tend to favour DILDs.

give it to me then

great thread all. cheers

MrTransitory its interesting, it would also be interesting to see what boundaries such an experience has compared to something like lucid dreaming. For example how far you could walk before things get weird(if they ever do), then returning to check if your body is where you left it , checking dates and times and seeing if the same reality checks for LDs apply in your OBE.
