OBE

A sense of perceiving the world from outside your physical body, during sleep, crisis, meditation, or spontaneous episodes.

Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) overlap with some NDE reports and with practices like astral projection, but they also occur in everyday settings.

Describe onset, viewpoint, duration, and whether others can corroborate anything you claim to have seen.
