I rather call it lucid dreaming. It sounds interesting and I once tried it. Without luck however.
OBE is Bullshit.

OBE is a dream, nothing is bullshit when you're dreaming
I actually believe in this shit.
It's just dreaming, nothing bad can happen
Hrmm, wouldn't this be more of a religion section type of item?
It's fascinating, though.
sounds interesting, gotta try that sometime
That just sounds like a dream to me...
This is complete bullshit, complete bullshit. I mean, come on, the op is a furry, you guys should all be mauling him.
Facepunch, I am dissapoint.
I think you're full of shit, OP. There is no middleground between lucid dreaming and being awake, as lucid dreaming IS the middleground.

Well put.
Sounds like too much weed for me.
This is impossible, you're just mistaking dreams for other things.
You should have fucked The Lady of Black.
Then you would have a story to tell your grand-kids.
Sounds like you've been watching too much SG1 and playing too much L4D.
There was a very good episode of Penn and Teller's Bullshit that talked about OBE, mostly the near-death experiences.
Can't seem to dig it up, though.
Obviously OBEs are created by your mind. They do not involve the third eye though, so the spiritual thing is fabricated.
They are basically lucid dreams, but are still interesting enough to be considered separate.
Stop shooting up Meth before going to bed OP.
Cool, spectator mode.
They put you into mental coma - put them into a physical one.
Isn't this like day-dreaming or some shit, if it is, then I have done this. I can hear everything going on, but my mind shows something else going on.

Wrong. There is a state between which occurs when you know you are dreaming, but yet you think everything you see in your dreams is normal.
...
Disregard that, I read it wrong.
Sorry, I just had to

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;20511986][B]Astral Projection[/B]
The study of Out of Body Experinces (OBE) is a very fascinating study. I thought I would bring this to Facepunch today too share some accounts of things I've truly have been unable to explain.
[B]What is OBE?[/B]
OBE is a study/mental state in which the spiritual force of a body is disconnected from the body ,and is free to study on the astral planes. (Reason it's called Astral Projection). OBE is a point which is somewhat... The middle ground of lucid dreaming ,and being awake. You basically let your body fall asleep ,but you let your mind stay awake to cause full thinking capability. Once outside of your body you are able to travel the planes ,but you'll be forced back into your body after a certain period of time do too your body wanting mental and pshyical resting.
[B]In my time of being in OBE:
[/B]To contribute to the thread I've come along to tell of some experiences which have shaken me up for awhile..
The Lady of Black:
Probably the most screwed up thing to date which has come from OBE is the Lady of Black. In the area in which I entered the Lady of Black would enslave souls ,and use them has ways to harness spiritual ,and natural energy from the other astral planes. I had a small chat with her (very scary voice may I add),and she explained how the reason people in the stage plane(Earth) go into coma is because of her. When they enter Astral Projection ,and don't visit her once in awhile she uses her mental strength to pull their spiritual energy into her plane... She then decides to release them or hold them prisoner until their real body dies ,and she can force them to be "Wraiths" in the stage plane.
I usually visit the lady of black though cause it's rather entertaining to hear her explain how she controls weather or not people lose their lifes in the stage plane.
The Hunter:
The most... Gamey form of plane I've been in recently was part taken by a man who just goes by Hunter. From what he told me he calls himself the Hunter because he takes the spiritual presence of those who are apart of furry fandom ,and makes them feel the pain of death in his realm...
I'm going to say this now... You don't want to know what it feels like having a bear trap caught against your leg ,and someone coming at you with a shotgun that looks like some sort of futuristic death ray. >_<
Obelisk Of Truth:
Probably the more... Sane areas on the planes I've visited. The Obelisk of Truth is basically exactly what it says... It is a worship sight for in which people speak the truth. I've seen many other spirits in this plane ,but none of which live in a practical area near me... The weird thing I've found out about the OOT is that you have to speak something of the truth too stay. If you speak a lie your kicked out or forcefully watched over ,and shunned on.
[B]TIPS:
[/B]If you want to start trying this out for yourself... I recommend a few things.
1.) Start out with regular dreaming... Make sure you can remember everything which happened in a dream. You can usually say too yourself, "I wont forget! I wont forget!" ,and in the morning write down what you saw in dreams.
2.) After you cleared step one... Your good to start. You should try too do a minimal thing such as extending yourself about two feet above your body. If you enter the state where you can see yourself sleeping then congrats, you've entered the base plane.
3.) Now... Once your in the base plane you'll notice something weird... A big white light(somewhat like a phys gun beam) is against your back ,and linking to your body. Remember when I said, "Your body will pull you back for full mental ,and physical rest"? That is exactly what that cord is for.
4.) Begin to move around your house for your first time... Don't attempt to leave your house. Once you can examine all the rooms go ,and try to enter a plane by imagining the basics of a different world.
5.) If you've entered the next plane you'll have to get... acquainted to whats going on around you. If you imagined a war zone most likely your going to be a war zone so fair warning... Stay away from violence.
6.) First Trys don't last really long... So you'll be forced back into your body...
7.) When you wake up fully write down what you had done in a journal or a piece of paper ,and keep it nearby too your bed ,and read it too yourself before going to sleep again or try attempting OBE again.
After doing some rinse ,and repeat you should be able to do OBE after a week or so.
Some people who can already do this I would like to see some posts on what you've seen or experienced in your time of the other planes/realms.[/QUOTE]
OBEs are interesting, but do not listen to this man. He has NO idea what he's talking about.
obes are like lucid dreams only they are lucid dreams
p.s. op you are really fucking stupid

Not only did you quote the entire OP, making it obvious you're a complete idiot, you need to understand that OBE is a poorly named phenomenon which is essentially lucid dreaming mixed with people's half-baked mindset that they're outside their body.
One thing is for sure though, these kind of people do not live in reality, dreaming or not.
You're nuts.
"OBE's" are cool though. Even if they are complete bullshit, it can be fun if you use it right.

Not only are you completely uninformed about the actual theory and conceptualization behind OBEs and any remotely related theory except for your own half-baked opinion from what you hear about idiots like OP (seriously, Lady in Black? staying away from war-zones? what the fuck?)-- .. no, that's pretty much it. But seriously, I can't blame you for throwing around your own uninformed opinions if all you get is shit like this from uninformed OP.
All I'm saying is, [b]don't listen to the OP[/b]. I've done a lot of research and thought about OBEs, and this much is clear: [i]he has no idea what he's talking about[/i].
p.s. sorry for being mean you shouldn't be call people "complete idiots"
