The first LD I had I used the technique of: after awaking from a dream in the early morning, I said to my self in my mind over and over: "I want to get back in the dream." While visualizing the recent dream the whole time. I found myself shortly afterwards lucid and dreaming.

The second and third LDs were spontaneous and just happened. I didn't recognize anything out of the ordinary to alert me that I was dreaming (at least not consciously).

The OBE was somehow induced while I was in SP during hypnagogic state, not long after awakening from a dream. I kept telling myself: "I don't want to be paralysed." over and over. And while I was floating and enveloped in an invisible mist of fear, I told myself to not be afraid, and I surrendered my anxieties. Then I told myself that I wanted to fly, and I guess you could say I left my body (up for debate). Next I past through the ceiling like a ghost. I went flying from there. During the whole experience I was totally lucid. I haven't perfected, or even come close to mastering any technique, but thanks for asking.

We typically call this DEILD, Dream Exit Initiated Lucid Dream. Upon waking from a dream you are able to stay in the REM state and slip back into the same dream or create a new dream. The DEILD Tutorial can be found in the Dreamviews WIKI.

We refer to this as DILD, or Dream Induced Lucid Dream.

OBEs are discussed in our Beyond Dreaming section of the forum. You might post your experience there and get some good feedback from others who have experienced similar occurrences.

I hope you decide to share more and spend some quality time on the forum. I think you will find this is a great place to explore the world of dreams and more!
