Hey everyone,

So I've been looking into something I've been able to do since I was a kid where it seems like I'm out of body. It's not a full blown OBE as in I completely feel like I'm there and am not aware of my body, although it has on occasion turned into that. The vividness is more like somewhere between a daydream and an actual dream. I have looked into what it was and came up with a ton of different answers, ranging from what Jung called Active Imagination, to some pagan/new age friends I've asked, most of whom thought it sounded like an OBE. I'd dismiss it as just an overactive imagination as a kid if the worlds I "visited" weren't so consistent and didn't seem to be independent of what I consciously intended. The people I encountered seemed to have minds of their own, even more so than most dream characters in LDs. That and I occasionally run into entities that claim to be parts of my personality and have told me things that are absurdly spot on about myself, things I wasn't aware of. I know this sounds crazy even as I write it but there have been too many things like that to outright dismiss these experiences as nothing but fantasy. Also, just to clarify, I'm not asking whether these experiences are real. For my purposes it really doesn't matter. To me it's just something to entertain myself when I'm bored or on nights when I can't sleep. I was just asking what label people here would apply to it.
