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.
This is at times linked with mystical trances, near death experiences, hypnagogic or hypnopompic dreams, etc. With both astral projection and dreaming, an OBE may be contrasted with.
An astral projection does not necessitate the perception of one's own body from the outside unlike OBE. With dreaming, whether lucid or otherwise, and OBE can be contrasted with by the strong perception of being awake and conscious of the experience's reality.
With every out of body experience some aspects differ. Possibility of different types of OBE's with different causes and meanings is there. Let's take a look at different OBE cases where there were different things reported.
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.
Let's now look at other circumstances connected with OBE's; in the first situation in which people see themselves outside their body happens suddenly by the time they realize this; its almost by accident they see their bodies. In the second situation, when people experience OBE they will themselves out of their bodies or either find themselves being pulled from their bodies. Such OBE's are not generally long, they may last for a minute or so.
In addition, there are some OBEs which get completed with a sudden sensation of unexpectedly snapping or popping back into their bodies. From the other kind of experiences reported there are some who go through religious epiphanies; some who experience a universal feeling of love and peacefulness and some who experience anxiety and fearfulness. Also there are some people who go through the OBE itself where there is no directly any 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.
With some people, those who have gone through surgery describe out of body experiences as something they could not possibly have witnessed whilst anesthesia effect.
Disapproval of OBE's cannot be done; nonetheless there is no solid evidence that anyone has really left their body. A thorough explanation has been given by many people whom they supposedly could not have made by any other means. Still the study of these observations to the satisfaction of the scientific community is not done. Either in the form of archetype or symbols, messages are received from out of body experiences or generally they may or may not be recognized at first. There is still a solid proof awaited for these experiences.
