   My first introduction to "Astral Travelling" or OOBE was through Dennis   
   Wheatley's "Ka of Gifford Hillary" and subsequent reading of non-fiction   
   books on the subject. This was all about 40 years ago.   
   More recently (started last year), I have been reading about Robert Monroe's   
   experiences in his books and about Remote Viewing, starting with David   
   Morehouse.   
      
   I was surprised to find just how different they seem to be. I would have   
   thought that Remote Viewing would have had the same characteristics as OOBE,   
   in that there would have been very clear sight of the place visited, but RV   
   seems to be much less "visiting" than "sensing" a target.   
      
   My question: Are OOBE's truly actual separation from the physical body and   
   experiencing distant places, events and even times which one can remember   
   upon return and that RV is just putting out "feelers" and only experiencing   
   a vague idea of the target area?   
      
   I have no personal experience of either, although I am planning to change   
   that this year. I am very confused about the whole thing, to tell you the   
   truth. MikeH
