Have never had any success with OBE’s whilst awake. Lots whilst asleep though. Have dreamed of flying many times, also of falling. Once I dreamed that I had died. THAT was terrifying; just falling into blackness. Of course, because the mind cannot imagine nothingness. It’s not a thought, but the antithesis of thought. The dreamless sleep.
Over the last few years, my dreams have become much more prosaic (at least the ones I remember) They all seem to be very trivial, simply a confused mess of the day’s activities.
