I don't know, but I know I had many "flying" dreams as a child. These dreams always stood apart from my other dreams, because I actually felt like I was flying; and I always could fly at will. Could we actually be OBE in some of our so-called "flying dreams", and not aware of it?
I was not yet aware of what the OBE experience was when I had these dreams as a child - so wouldn't have classified them as OBEs or lucid dreams. Although I did have a spontaneous OBE at around 5, which was different than my flying dreams. I was floating above my bed, and *knew* I was actually out of my body. With these dreams I can't be *sure*. But then again, they say all/or most of us have OBEs when we sleep, and we just don't remember them. Maybe some of these flying dreams are blurred memories.
