This is actually comforting to me. Knowing that I am leaving my body more often than I realize.
Especially comforting when I haven't been "out" as much as I like.
Just the other day I had a non-lucid OBE. This means, I was able to confirm to myself, PROVE I was out of my body without realizing I was out of my body at the time. To me, it was just a dream. I was not clear, aware, mentally awake or whatever you might describe it as. However, I was out of my body on the earth plane, or rather, just like a ghost, wandering around.
I dreamed that I was walking beside my house out toward my chicken coop. I saw the door swing open from heavy winds. All the chickens were out. This causes me to feel a sensation of panic. The dogs will attack the chickens if they get out. Immediately, I woke up and I felt relieved this was only a dream. A short while later, still early morning, I went to collect the eggs. Having thought it was just a dream, I realized it was an OBE. The winds had been so strong they knocked down gates, the coop door was wide open and all the chickens were out. Luckily, the dogs did not realize.
All my birds were safely put back into their coop. They can enjoy the outside from the safety of their fenced outdoor run now.
I think we do this naturally, leave our bodies I mean. This is why I care so much about taking advantage of it. Remembering and being aware of it. My ideal OBE would be to experience the separation, be clear minded and aware. I go through periods when I am more able and less able to OBE at will. Regardless of whether it's happening at will or randomly, it's happening.
