I experimented with OOBE as a young teenager. Learned the techniques in one of those books - probably Linda Goodman's Star Signs/Sun signs something like that - back in the mid 80s somewhere. Flew around town. Lucid dreaming. Awesome stuff to learn and I still use it to this day as I'm a frequent dreamer. [every time]. I died three times before I got out of the hospital (premie), so I got that all over with young. No interest in getting close again. When you figure out that you shouldn't even exist at all at a very young age, you get grateful. [I don't know when I learned I died three time before getting out of the hospital - probably around the age of 6 or 7... probably my mother consoling me after a classmate had died while riding her bicycle down our street - and the news shook me up]
