Experiences are always real, thats why they are called experiences. One cannot experience something that hasn't happened.
In regards to how that applies to my OBE, it makes no difference to me whether someone else comprehends it, believes it or attempts to bebunk it. What happened to me was real. I call them OBE's because I don't know what other words to use. Since I cannot really describe it, or prove that it happened, I seldom talk about it since it generates questions that I can't answer to the satisfaction of the questioner. These experiences changed my life and I am still warmed by the joy of them. Thats all the realism is need. How someone else considers it is of zero consequence. "From what I've personally experienced, I believe it has occurred" seems to indicate your experience was a vivid dream and not your "spirit" or whatever travelling to meet someone. If it has happened you would state it HAD happened, not that you BELIEVE that it had. I am not trying to say that it can't happen, in fact I would enjoy it if you told me, "Yes, it HAS happened". Have you physically met any of the people that were in your "dream", or whatever words you use to describe it? How did you meet them? Why did you meet them? Was it like randomly meeting someone in a bar, or did you meet the person for a specific reason or???
