   Nobody knows for sure, although the evidence suggests that it's little   
   more than a lucid dream, or a Temporal Lobe hallucination.

   If it's the latter, then it seems likely. However, as far as I know,   
   none of the various simple tests of the reality of the experience; that   
   myself and others of a sceptical nature have proposed, in this forum, to   
   those who believe  themselves capable of out of body experiences have   
   ever been undertaken satisfactorily.   
      
   You may draw whatever conclusion you wish from this; but, for myself, I   
   draw the simplest - that the experience is purely subjective, and,   
   therefore, less interesting that I would have hoped.
