I would not call what I experience real OBEs because it's mostly imaginary, I do feel away but not totally, it's more like when we are lost in our thoughts, daydreaming.
There were a few times when it got more deep, I hallucinated and saw other worlds, but it was mostly like I was dreaming except that I still knew that I was just hallucinating. It's rare though, unfortunately, and it didn't happen for weeks.
I suppose a real OBE is something you believe is really happening.
I noticed something interesting though. The few first times I could not control anything, then later I started to be able to influence a little what was happening, and eventually I was able to even replace an event or a person by another. At the very same period I started to have lucid dreams quite often, as if my mind had been trained to take control while dreaming. So I suppose these hallucinations happen when we slip from focus 12 to a state similar to dream. I wish I could make this happen more often because it's cool to experience.
>if what you're describing is quite similar to a sleep paralysis(?), I for one know I can move at will on F12 at least.
In focus 10 it feels like I could not move if I tried, and I try a little it feels like my arms and legs are very very heavy, too heavy for me to move them. I also mostly don't feel my body anymore, like it's just asleep. But it's just a feeling though, a hypnosis trick, tricking your mind into believing that your body is asleep and you can't move it. It's not a real sleep paralysis because if there was a danger for sure I would be able to quickly regain control and move. Real sleep paralysis is reported as a scary experience where one really can't move despite danger.
Maybe it doesn't happen to you because you just don't want/accept it to happen.
In the exercise when we put each part of our body asleep one by one, I told them something like "Good bye, I'm leaving for a few minutes, the subconscious will care about you, not me."
