This is what I think: in my opinion, an OBE (out of body experience) happens when your consciousness or a part of it and your astral body leave your physical body (with different degrees of awareness). Lucid dreaming is the state you are in when you are asleep but you are fully aware or in control of your dreams. Some people believe that you frequently leve your physical body when you go to sleep. In that case, lucid dreaming would actually be a lucid OBE (one that you are completely aware of). Hope this makes sense (IMG:
