You might find this website interesting. It has tons of information on the subject: http://www.near-death.com/ is the main page.
The above site has links to OBE material contained within as well:

Dear Sapphire:
No I don't, not in the sense it is presented today where people purport to go to heaven or hell, then return to talk about it.
As a young child, every time I had a fever, I would have an "out of body" experience, seem to be floating in the air above the bed..this is called hallucinations, I was still lying there.
There are many supposed journeys by accident victims, those under anesthesia, medication, or those who dream while still awake. BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CASE REPORTED WHEN THEY WERE PRONOUNCED BRAIN DEAD BY E.E.G. Sorry, but one can not imagine too well when they are actually dead.
And that leads you to Satan's first lie to Eve: "You shall not surely die." Evil spirits have introduced the idea that you do not die. This lie was admitted to a member of a Satanic cult. You will find an Online site most interesting as the Devil revealed some of his greatest delusions and tactics--tactics that unsuspecting Christians buy as factual. Check that site out at www.revelado.org/satanism.htm
Blessings and AGAPE love, One-Way

Yes, I know OBEs are rare but real.
According to the OT, the serpent in the Garden of Eden didn't lie at all. This allegory is about free will, i.e. becoming "godlike" by establishing an individual soul. Even Christians agree there is no death. Quoting from Genesis: "Then the LORD God said, 'The man has become like one of us, since he knows good and evil. He must not reach out and take the fruit from the tree of life and eat. Then he would live forever.'"

Depends on context.
I have intentional out-of-body experiences all the time.
I tend to refer to them as "objective thinking"...
Then of course there are those pagan "astral-walking" or whatever sorts..... but I'm not sure what exactly they're up to. My process seems a while lot simpler. I just project my consciousness out of my own life and worries and consider things physically in the present, the way they are.

no. the only thing i have a hunch about right now is inner body experiences. serious, like during sleep or rest the consciousness is in the eyeballs or the heart. just something i've been thinking of.

I have had an out of body experience. I was concentrating for weeks to do so and one day I went to class and my teacher said something weird happened to her. I was secretly trying to appear to her to see if it worked. She told me I appeared in her office. It really worked. I believe when you dream you are flying your soul has lifted from your body and was set free. That is why it always feels so wonderful

No.
What people experience is usually due to drugs.
On the operating table, also the same reason.

This question is invalid because belief is of no relevence, it is real. Science can not explain it yet that is why it is considered paranormal science and phenomena.
