OBE (Post 2)

During the lectures, the concept of out of body experiences were discussed in the slide shows. I found it interesting that many individuals found it similar or confused it with lucid dreaming. Whats even more interesting is that anesthesia was seen to have an impact on it, which was not the same for me. I recently had a surgery and have had many other instances when I was under anesthesia and each time I did not dream once. For me, the medicine goes into effect and then I immediately wake up, with no dreams or any understanding of what occurred. I have also read that many individuals face an “out of body” experience when faced with immediate trauma or distraction.
