Given that it says "OBEs can be induced by brain traumas, sensory deprivation, near-death experiences, dissociative and psychedelic drugs, dehydration, sleep, and electrical stimulation of certain parts the brain, among others", it is clear that an OBE simply means that the experiencer feels as if they are out of body.

From my point of view, it is perilous to object to someone who says they feel as if they are out of body. As both a scientist and a harmonica player, you might fare better.

As it is, I have enough trouble with IBE's-particularly those involving the court system.
