[I'm going to say OB but it could have been focussed imagination.]

One of the amazing experiences here (for me and I'd like you to share also) is that people you meet OB can have access to what you do or did OB and some at least see it as real.

What happened in this regard has two parts: First, I went on a partnered exploration with someone I'd recently met here. We arranged to meet while OB at Navy Pier, Chicago and see what would happen next. I wanted more particulars but that was it. Navy Pier is not small. While looking at a ferris wheel I thought ' I didn't know they had a ferris wheel. Then a fellow came up and said, "Come on, Bets. Let's ride the ferris wheel!"

So we did, with all the swoops and falling sensations of such a ride. When it came to the top again he leaped off, calling for me to follow. His trench coat billowed, he swept away. I stood up and thought I might as well so I was going to leap, but fear struck and I woke up.

Years later a woman learning a different tradition got into my life (more than I would have preferred) and one days she asked with eyes sort of big"Whatever happened to the man you were with that jumped off the ferris wheel?!" 

I knew he'd survived because he and I had checked notes afterwards on what we did there, what we wore etc. but I had the small satisfaction to never tell her. He was quite accomplished but has relocated in a new country and career.

So did the woman see the ferris wheel incident as real due to her own limited experience? 
Is there ANY difference in what we see in the lives of others we partner with if we see their OB experiences?
I think the answer to that shows how real these experiences are, or aren't.
