It has not yet been established completely whether out of body experiences are for real or not. This is due to the fact there is still no solid proof for the same. An out of body experience or OBE is s feeling of floating outside of the body. G.N.M Tyrrell in his book called Apparitions introduced this term in the year 1943. Subjective awareness from a vantage point outside of one's physical body is described in this book.
Many a times there is linkage of these wiith hypnagogic or hypnopompic dreams, mystical trances, near death experiences, etc. OBE can be contrasted with both astral projection and dreaming.
In an OBE there is a feeling of floating outside of the body however this is not the case with astral projection. When there is dream be it lucid or otherwise, a strong perception of being awake and conscious is there which is in contrast to OBE's.
Same aspects differ with every OBE. It is also possible that there are quite a few diverse types of OBE having dissimilar cause and meaning.
In many OBE cases the person reported either being asleep, or been asleep shortly before or on the verge of sleep. Many of these cases refer to circumstances where this sleep is not mainly deep. This could be due to various factors like illness, emotional stress, noises in other rooms, exhaustion from overworking, etc.
There are other situations as well associated with OBE's; one in which the sensation of being outside the body is rather that is suddenly realized after the fact and almost by accident they see their bodies. Second, they either find themselves being pulled from their bodies or will themselves out of their bodies. These experiences of OBE's are not usually long, may be for a minute or so.
Then there are some OBE's reported which get completed with an unexpected sensation of popping or snapping back into their bodies. Then there are some experiences who have reported to go through religious epiphanies; there are some who experience a universal feeling of peacefulness and love and some who experience nervousness and apprehension. Then there are some experiences reported where there is no directly any kind of spiritual experience.
There are mixed opinions concerning the objective reality of OBEs. A lot of people consider the occurrence is precisely what it feels like and that the soul is departing the body and discovering. Positive OBE accounts have been experienced by many and many claim that the experience was a dream and often quote the experience as having a spiritual effect.
Some experiences of positive OBE accounts have been reported and some maintain that the experience was just like a dream and frequently quote the incidence with a spiritual effect.
We cannot disapprove OBE's; however a solid evidence for these experiences is yet awaited. The study of the observations given by the people who have experienced OBE's has not been done to the satisfaction of the scientific community. Messages are received from out of body experiences or generally they may or may not be recognized at first either in the form of archetype or symbols. A solid proof is yet awaited for these experiences.
