Okay, so obviously lucid dreaming is a very real phenomenon. I've experienced it, and so have many others. Out of Body Experiences though, I'm not so sure. I'm a firm believer that anything is possible in the right situation, so I'm very open to the possibility of OBEs. BUT, I've noticed when reading about people's OBEs that they're almost exactly the same as lucid dreams. I'm starting to think that maybe these experiences are not OBEs, but just lucid dreams. But the people who claim to experience them also claim to be able to differentiate between lucid dreaming and having an OBE.

SO, my question here is for anyone who claims to have had multible OBEs and lucid dreams and who ALSO claims to know the difference between the two. I'd like to know, with as much descriptive detail as possible, what you think the difference(s) are between lucid dreams and OBE. How can you tell which is which?

I appreciate all answers, please do not get in an argument amongst yourselves, thank you!
