   I don't see that it's so sure.  After all, I was convinced that mine were   
   literal for years before I started questioning that assumption.  What's   
   to prevent such a subjective experience from seeming so real that you   
   only think you don't need to ask?  Even when there are blatant   
   discrepancies between reality and what's seen during an OBE, people can   
   come up with various explanations to account for them and preserve the   
   notion that they were really OB, as we know.  I don't see how the problem   
   of personal interpretation can be easily dismissed, so I just can't buy   
   into the "you'll know it when you have it" idea.
