Ren, Yes, I used to have them regularly, now only occasionally. I had had lucid dreams since I was a kid, but the first OBE happened when I was about 30. I was in the middle of a lucid dream when I suddenly had the idea to leave my body, and it just happened. I got very excited and started reading lots of books about it so I could have the experience more often. I was never able to just lie down and have one at will, but if I woke up in the morning and then drifted back to sort of a half-sleep state, it would happen very easily. Eventually I lost interest in them. It was just the same old me, but on a different plane. I still welcome them when they come, as an interesting diversion, but I no longer seek them out. Now I am much more interested in awakening from the dream of everyday life. This is something which cannot be successfully "attained," because it is our real nature. It is a matter of understanding that we are not who we think we are. We are the witness of all that occurs, and our bodyminds (as well as our "astral" bodyminds) are merely an appearance within that witness, or Consciousness. Understanding this is the ultimate healing or Liberation, because you no longer have to concern yourself with "doing" this or that. It is all just "happening," and You are merely along the the ride.
