but know very little about it.

I've been studying and recording my dreams since 2002. I've had a number of lucid ones.

Of special interest to me are those dreams in which I violate the inability to perform certain actions in a dream, as suggested in the movie Waking Life. For example, in my dreams, I can turn lights on and off, read whole pages of printed text, and clearly see the numbers on a digital clock.

Not that I may understand 100% of what Lucid Dreaming is, but I have at times realized I was dreaming and no one around me was real... which then the Dirty Old Man takes over and o boy o boy... It's a lot of fun until the lucid becomes awake and it all melts away!

The fear is when I'm in declining years and mental faculty, I may believe the people aren't real around me and well... you can imagine!

My favorite part of dreaming and know it's a dream (but I can't always control the sequences) is that I can 'kick off' and then move/glide about 4 to 6 inches off the ground for long distances. And sometimes yeah, can control that to different heights and speeds. LOTS of fun!

The other two not so much.

There are many, many books out there on NDEs.

The other two, less so.

OBE’s in particular. I had them often as a child. My son did as well. He’s 14 now and recently told me that he misses those experiences.
