I know this must have been discussed here for the nth time but I don't understand all this fuss about OBE's and lucid dreams. |

I asked what is the difference between lucid dreams and OBE's? |
|
I also think the two ar exactly the same. I've had both (during a DEILD I am often capable of 'rolling out' of my body), but they feel exactly the same for me. |
|
In my opinion, there's no such thing as OBEs. OBEs are just vivid WILDs or something like that. Most WILDers out there spawn in their bedroom and chances are, see a copy of themselves(or what they say "their real body") lying on their bed. This often makes a lucid dreamer think that he is having an OBE when in fact, it's just another LD. |

That is something you'll have to figure out for yourself. For some, there is no difference. For others, there's a huge difference. From what I've read, a lucid dream occurs completely in your own mind while OBEs are thought to occur somewhere else, hence the term out of body experience. Whether you believe or don't believe, you don't really have the right to tell people to stop thinking about it. |

15 DAYS: DEILD:[1] DILD:[16] WILD:[6]
APRIL 2012: DEILD:[5] DILD:[29] WILD:[12]
MARCH 2012: DEILD:[6] DILD:[27] WILD:[4]
What's the difference between man and God? |

I think an OBE is when one dreams of a real place, like the bedroom. There often feels a link between these dreams and reality. The room feels almost exactly as it does in WL. Even close observations made in the dream are found to be true upon awakening. Is this the power of the subconscious or remote viewing? I've yet to decide |
|
Well the reason that people call it OBE is the stage where you extract from your body rather than the place where you dream. |

I've done that before and it felt just like an LD, if people think they have to see there body sleeping for them to be in an OBE, the dream will obviously manifest that to support their belief system. |
|
Agreed with ShadowOfSelf, I have tried to OBE, as to give it a fair chance, but it was just like any normal WILDs. The SP was a bit more intense once or twice maybe but other than that it was nothing that crazy. Same for AP, so I don't see a difference, however can't tell people what to believe. |
|
Let's say, first, that LD'ing and OBE'ing are two separate things. I don't believe that (OBE's likely are simply a side-effect of WILD: if you fail to induce an actual dream after you're "in," then yeah, you'll likely find yourself dreaming of the last place you were, with dreamy distortion), but let's just say for now they both exist and are different. |
|
I think, that LDs are happenig on a Dream Plane. They are more of a playground, where you interact with DCs (created by your mind or they are other dreamers), you can alter the environment and do anything you like. |

Well, can only talk for myself but I like to give everything a chance, and in that everything was OBE and APs, so gave them each their chance once I learned how to LD. Don't know about anyone else... though I hear, commonly, that people believe LDing can't give you anything spiritual and thus go towards the OBE option. |
|
I'll share some views about why people term it as an OBE.Now that we all have accepted the universal truth that OBE is nothing but WILD.Lets us consider this situation. |
|
I think you might want to hear other less common people, Hukif, because the people who commonly believe that " LDing can't give you anything spiritual" are mistaken. By its very metaphysical nature (as I described above, for instance), advanced LD'ing is a spiritual event. |
|
Yeah, I often disagree with them because of that... but lol you put it so funny "other than the powerless ghost part, what is spiritual about floating around in your own room?" |
|
Oh don't worry, you did not. Was just saying I have noticed that too. |
|
Cool! |

OBE is when you leave your body while asleep or unconscious or (near death experience.) LD is when you become aware that you are dreaming and therefore have control over the outcome. OBE is NOT a WILD. I believe your spirit can travel around the universe as with a lucid dream it's mostly occurring only inside your mind. When people die for a few seconds and they see themselves hovering above their bodies, you can't honestly think that is a WILD. It's something completely different, they see themselves because they have truly left their body. With a normal WILD you do not leave your body at all. |

"Turn around and you will see. Life is like a roundabout. A kind of LSD."
I believe that some people who have OBE's have at least claimed to have witnessed things going on that they would not otherwise have been able to see. In such a case, it would literally be an out of body experience, and not really a dream since the world around the OBE'er would be based on physical reality rather than the mind of a dreamer. However it sounds to me that most experiences described on this forum as OBE's or astral projection are actually WILDs. |
