What a lovely thread. Yesterday I received my copy of "Buhlman, William - Adventures Beyond the Body: How to experience out-of-body travel" and it was a great read. I skipped the science part, so I was able to read it in 2h. Awesome! He mentions something, which could be interesting/helpful for someone having an OBE:
Each person who has an out-of-body or near-death experience has a guide present during the experience. Assistance is always available but it must be requested...

Hyperspace Fool, can you confirm this? The guides Buhlman describes are reminiscent of your dream teachers.
Confirmation is a strong word.
I can say that I am not always aware of such guides, though if I look for them they are never far away. It could very well be that some type of guide is always with you.
I used to have a guide with me every time I broke through on spice... but it has been well over a decade where I rarely have a guide. It is rather difficult to say, as your spirit guide (or the Holy Spirit if you will) generally seems invisible until you need it, call on it, or ask it a question. It is also difficult to say how this presence differs from your higher(est) self.
Also, there are many other beings and entities that you encounter who aid or guide you. Dream masters, ascended beings, angels, gods, machine elves, and the hoary host of
Hyperspace denizens can all be a type of guide for you, but are generally busy doing their own thing most of the time, and have to be encountered or called upon.
In AP, I have rarely had the tangible presence of a guide. Even the famous "silver chord" is not always in evidence. I think that some connection to your body is there, though, even when you are unaware of it... and that if you have this kind of
inner voice going, it is with you whenever you become still enough to hear its peaceful guidance.
Wish I could be more definitively authoritative on this, but there you go.
