Once you have more of these happen to you, you may be able to tell them apart easier, althought that's not a guarantee.
I personally do believe that OBEs and LD are somewhat different. Until I had my first unintentional OBE, I though those are happening only to people that had some near death experience. But that still could be "just" LD of a different caliber.
On a few occasions I had what I believe to be OBE, is when I was WILDing and got some strong vibrations. I just floated out of my body without me even having and idea, that it can happen to me.
Next time when WILDing, vibrations were not as strong, so I was able to wait for images behind my closed eyelids to form into a dream and enter a dream that way.
So I kinda see that point during WILDing process, when you can either exit your body and be in LD/OBE that whay, or wait for images and enter into LD that way.
These are just my personal observations. But in my case, I don't completely agree with "what you expect is what you get". Because I totally didn't expect to exit my body and it took my 2 1/2 days to actually realize, what it was. Even after I floated out, I tried to enter LD by mentally pushing my head down, because that's how I entered a few LDs before - by flying head first through space at incredible speed.
I think that this is something, everybody has to study individually, gather as much information as you can and form your own opinion. There is so many incredible cool mysteries that await to be discovered, and it's easiest to do if someone has open mind. There is always time to reject something later.
