Many years ago, after I was married but before I had any children, I used to wake up when my husband got up to get ready for work, then fall back to sleep until he would kiss me on the cheek when he left for the day. 

One morning I woke up as usual when he got up but, when I fell back to sleep I was instantly standing in the front yard. There seemed to be a light fog in the area, and as I stood there in amazement and delight I felt a presence with me. This presence transferred to me a slight feeling of impatience that seemed to say, "This is not the time for silliness! Now pay attention." At that moment I got a bit of 'tunnel vision' and found myself standing at the edge of the driveway in front of our car. I looked down at my bare feet and could distinctly see where the grass stopped and the gravel of the driveway started and that I seemed to be wearing a long white gown that came down to my ankles. My vision was directed toward the tires of the car and I could see that they were flat. The next second I was back in bed and my husband was kissing me goodbye for the day. I blurted out without thinking, "Be careful, the tires on the car are going flat!" My husband didn't know what to think and left for work. At noon, he called me to say that I was right, he had barely enough air in the tires to get a mile down the road to the gas station before they were completely flat. 

That is the only time I've ever had an OOBE, and it seemed to be for a purpose, although not a real life-threatening one.
