Greetings! I am new to this sight, but not to Lucid Dreaming. I don't know who to ask, but I am having a problem understanding what the difference is between Lucid Dreaming and OBE's. Another thing is that I seem to go in spurts. For instance I will be doing well until I have personal problems and then nothing.

I have had many Lucid Dreams, but seem to have no control. It just seems to happen and usually when I have to get up. I want to learn to control Lucid Dreaming and have OBE's more than anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
