Different States

Many out-of-body explorers and authors would agree that we go out-of-body every night during our sleep.

But most of the time we are not aware of it, because we’re unconscious.

And how do we even know that our so-called out-of-body experience isn’t just a vivid dream or a hallucination?

Author and researcher Robert Peterson would suggest there are 4 distinct out-of-body states that we can be in and each of them has different characteristics.

The 4 different states are based on if we’re conscious or not, and if we’re hallucinating (imagining) or not.

It’s important to note that while conscious, the ego is aware and is storing the whole experience as memory.

While unconscious, that is not the case. It is impossible to remember a 100% unconscious experiences.
