Yes, they can. Though, it should be noted that the numbers of people dying of fright in the waking world trump the numbers of those dying of fright in the dream world. For more information on being "Scared to death" (literally), click here -> http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...1225094518.htm

The answer to this question depends entirely the beliefs of the person you are asking. Since I am answering your question, I would say "Yes", I do believe it's possible for people to have out of body experiences. While many people believe OBE's to simply be an advanced form of lucid dreaming or a WILD, I am not one of those people.

If you are asking can one learn to initiate out of body experiences...I believe so, yes. Just as one can learn to master conscious dreaming, one can learn this ability as well.

What is "sleep paralysis" and is it dangerous?

Sleep paralysis is a state your mind triggers your body to go into in which it paralyzes the muscles in your body so that you do not act out your dreams while sleeping. It's a safety mechanism. If we did not routinely enter sleep paralysis at night, think about how dangerous it would be if we had dreams about bungee jumping.

No. I have died countless times in my lucid dreams. I've been stabbed in the heart, impaled etc. and amazingly I'm still here to tell the story about "The living man who died many deaths" Don't get so caught up in Hollywood theatrical perceptions of dreaming, and especially out of body experiences.

Remember, your emotions and your thoughts within sleep paralysis will dictate your experience. Keep them cool and you'll have a pleasant experience. If you are stricken with fear while in SP or a lucid dream...then visual, auditory, or kinesthetic manifestations may occur at a level in direct proportion to your emotions/thoughts that triggered it/them in the first place. Hope this helps.
