Levitan und LaBerge über OBE

Open minded Forschung von Levitan und LaBerge über OBEs. Interessant fand ich z.B. folgende Aussagen:

Indeed, all
dreams could be called OBEs in that in them we experience events
and places quite apart from the real location and activity of our
bodies.

Twenty of the lucid dreams were WILDs, and 87 were DILDs. Five of the OBEs were WILDs (28%) and five were DILDs (6%). Thus,
OBEs were more than four times more likely in WILDs than in DILDs.

The unusual feeling of leaving the body is exciting and
alarming. This, combined with the realistic imagery of the
bedroom is enough to account for the conviction of many OBE
experients' that "it was too real to be a dream."[...]
Lucid dreamers often comment to themselves in dreams, "I
know this is a dream, but it all seems so incredibly real!" All
this goes to show that the feeling that an event is real does not
mean that it is happening in the physical world that we all share
when we are awake.

Proof that some or even most OBEs are dreams is not enough
to allow us to say that a genuine OBE is impossible.

It may not make any sense
on an objective level to say that the self is anywhere. Rather,
the self is where it feels itself to be.

And, if we were to really leave our bodies --
severing all connection with them -- it would be illogical to
assume that we would see the world in the same way.

So what do you think?

Danke, mir war er jedenfalls neu
(Und im Literaturforum lese ich, im Gegensatz zu anderen Bereichen, durchaus regelmäßig mit.)
