There’s also this long-winded discussion on the differences between OBEs and LDs.

Personally, I like to remind people that the “E” in OBE is the most important letter. Whether you accept the reality of true out-of-body travel or not, people do regularly have the experience of leaving their bodies. People came up with the term “OBE” because it largely feels like leaving your body.
By contrast, people can have lucid dreams for years and never experience anything like a double seeming to separate from their bodies while they’re conscious and aware of their physical surroundings.
