Yeah welcome to the site!

As far as lucid dreaming vs OBEing goes...it is an ultimately unending debate with little to no conclusions. So I don't know how much feedback you will get about that. There is tons of info about that stuff on the site though if you wanted to do a quick search of the forum.

If you have any more questions feel free to PM me or any of the other Dream Guides or MODS.
