Those are different interpretations of the same phenomenon.

In an OBE, people think/know/are/whatever OUTSIDE of their bodies, ie. not a dream, so it can't be a LD, because you "aren't" in a dream. Same goes for AP. Though some people lump them all together, since they believe that dreams are a form of AP/OBE <.<

Actually "A LD is a dream where you know you are dreaming." is a layman definition. The real one is more complex and does cover thinking that one is outside of their bodies or AP.
