Thread: Did I have an OBE, or maybe was it a form of lucid dream?

Yes

They're the same thing. I had a similar experience long ago but I floated out through the wall of my bedroom and across the yard into my neighbor's house where I flew around up by his ceiling feeling like a ghost. He suddenly noticed me and got scared, which scared me (I was especially scared by the wicked gleeful feeling of power I was having) and then I was pulled rapidly back into my bed and my body. This definitely didn't happen in the 'real world', because of several things - it was dark in the dream but full daylight outside at the time I was sleeping, and that neighbor actually hadn't lived there for years. So I'm convinced OBE's are just a specialized type of dream that involve a powerful sense of OMG I'm really traveling outside of my body WTF!!??
