Thread: WILD method same as OBE method.. is it a LD or OBE?

There is a WILD technique where you wait til you enter SP, then try to get up out of your body. Isn't this the same technique used to OBE? and if so, doesn't that mean its not really an OBE but rather a lucid dream?

I've used this technique a few times and although it does feel different, more like an OBE I still get the feeling that I'm just lucid dreaming.

That's pretty much the question of the century for us LD and OBE'ers isn't it? I don't think anyone can really tell you the answer either way- it's simply one of those things everyone must find out on their own.

I believe OBE's are LDs, myself - having had an experience at first that I THOUGHT was and OBE, then upon opening the front door to my house I noticed that I was then in an dreamscape, not in my front yard. Was it an OBE that then turned INTO an LD? Well, maybe, but then if an OBE can feel so much like an LD, what's the difference between them?

I'm not, however, convinced yet that there are no OBE's (technically, if you are one to believe that when you dream your conscious leaves your body, then ALL dreams are OBEs!!) - but I have yet to feel something that was different than an LD.

Poke around the site, I'm sure there's an LD vs. OBE thread somewhere...

Far as I know, you get into SP using WILD and then you either a) ride out SP while still conscious to have an LD b) Get out of your body and have an OBE by rolling out or using a rope to get out. Whether they are the same or not, I can't tell since I've only had one LD and no OBEs before

This is exactly what I thought. I have gone into SP plenty of times. I even visualized myself "rolling" out of my body. All I got was some darkness then a very realistic Lucid dream. Not an Obe but lucid dream. Everything was in place and looked like my house. Even outside looked the same. I could do dream things though. Hopefully some Obe'ers will shed some light

Thing is, I didn't get any HI. Normally my room flashes and I can manipulate it.

Interesting, very interesting. From what I heard in an OBE, you can't control your DCs or do similar tasks as in an LD

Yup that's why I shared The time of day was right, everything looked real but the dream characters were not.
