Many people have given detailed instructions on how this can be done, and others have claimed to have followed the advice and accomplished an OBE. I believe the experience of an OBE is real in the sense that the person having the OBE truly believes that an Out-of-Body experience is taking place. I believe this to be an experience that is far more than and fundamentally different from a dream.
My main question is whether the OBE experience is what it appears to be--the conscousness leaving the physical body to explore this or other realities--or, counter to the obvious sensation of being out of one's body, it takes place completely within the brain. I believe there may be brain structures that control our body perspective. I'll try and look this information up as it could provide some useful insight.
