Do you really think? I've felt literally out of the body, in another kind of body. A few times I've seen my physical body from outside of it.
And yet other times there is no way I could see or even comprehend of there being a body, it was like I was simply in another dimension.

Yea, I've had both types of experiences. I was definitely expecting to come out of my body due to my reading of Buhlman and Monroe. A lot more study needs to go into this subject. All I know from my personal experiences is that you don't need to go through the motions of a classic OBE - there are shortcuts.

Some people bypass all the floating stuff altogether and use a technique called "phasing." You literally transport into a dream scene from a waking state - after relaxing the body and focusing the mind on the intention to enter a specific location (old dreams work well). I think a lot of the weird sensations we experience are from conditioning and expectation - thinking that we are literally coming out of our body. This is a misnomer IMO. We are getting into our consciousness, not going out of our body.
Although that sounds quite interesting, my questioning mind is wondering so what then is consciousness, so what then is the 'body', because I am very aware and am telling lots of people this (lol), that science does not know what consciousness is nor what matter is. So there we are, we don't know! The measuring mind as represented by modern science does not know these questions.
So if I say I am out of my body, and I am getting into consciousness, really could just be poetic gestures for descibing the indescribable. I KNOW, subjectively, that my OBEs were not like how I usually dream where scenes morph into each other. Even though weird stuff was going on, the fixtures and fittings around me more or less stayed the same, and I dived into my body and was conscious throughout the 're-emergence'.
