I have the same thoughts as Heimdall. What is really going on here ?
What is the difference between a lucid dream and an OBE ? Many claim that dreams are really just projections with a lack of conciousness, but it can be argued that OBE's are really just another form of lucid dream (and in fact, experiments tend to support this).
The whole matter could easilly be settled with this experiment :
1. One person places something in a room (for instance, three playing cards with the faces up on a table), and records the symbols on a sheet of paper.
2. He hands this paper in a sealed envelope to a second person (the controller).
3. Someone else does an OBE, goes into the room and looks at the cards. He records the cards on another piece of paper as soon as he wakes up.
4. The controller compares the two records for similarity.
It's easy and inexpensive. If the records maches, then we can assume that the OBE really took place.
