Can you move during OBE?

I'm reading about these out of body experiences, and I'm wondering if you can move your body during the time you're out of body. As I understand it you're paralyzed during sleep (at least REM-sleep), so I would guess you're likely paralyzed during an OBE too. Anyone who knows?

You are not aware of your physical body, when u think about it you will be shot back.

I was thinking you might get some sort of temporary "dissociative identity disorder" where one part of your conciseness is out of body while another has control over the body. So that you might be walking around with your body in the physical world and in your mind. Or well, what I want to know if it's possible, I realize it's most likely not common.

yes, i have been half out of body and half in before and i believe that is sleep paralysis but also the gateway to obe possiblity. when you are completely out of body your physical body is compeltely asleep but your mind is awake. you can only move your astral body, and only if you have enough disipline in most cases.
when we dream and sleeping in general we go into unconscious obe states .. every night we do this.. it is believed by many that it works like this and myself, but we just have no consciousness of it when we wake up because we have left the waking consciousness and gone into a different one. it depends if you do cross over into that world and gain enough disipline and can pass any fear you may have and so forth to continue working on obes and have that abilitity. it is an amazing thing and i hope i will at some point be able to focus enough to really harness it and do more. in my own personal experience with obes ive barely scratched the surface and have only been able to have a couple obes before having to return to my body. but it is insteresting thoguh and i believe it as well that we do actually do this every night we are sleeping and we return when we awaken. its all connected once you look into it more and know more about it. i think we as humans could do a lot more if we all tapped into our full possibilities. not everyone can do that but a good amount could and already can.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*
