There are a seemingly infinite spectrum of frequencies and corresponding types of OBE.

Mental wandering and astral phasing are similar, or the same. This type of OBE is not very good for exploring the real time zone, as reality fluctuations are much stronger than they are during a real time OBE.

However, the mental wandering/phasing method plus a lot of energy can produce a very accurate view of real life. The remote eye projection method is another way to approach this.

Some projectors I know have attained a 77% accuracy rate with observing the playing card test. So this is doable.

The sheer amount of energy you are capable of raising before an OBE exit sets the 'solidity' of the experience. So energy work is key.
