Thank you for the replies. To answer your question Lionhearted, yes it does matter to me if it's a dream or an obe because to me dreams are not reality although they seem very real. And believe me I've had some very cool lucid dreams to very gruesome ones, but I can in no way relate them to my life that i wake up to. The exception to this are those dreams whereby information has been revealed to me ( for example, a friend being pregnant in a dream and in fact she really was except she hadn't told anyone). To me, OBE's are a reality that I can prove to myself by verifying what I saw during my obe when I awake. In a dream I could be flying in paradise, during an obe, I'm in a different realm still in my home, as if I was a ghost which makes me wonder if ghosts experience the same thing I experienced when trying to get someone to hear us. Idk, I'm just very excited about something that although cant be scientifically proven, I know in my heart it's real.
