I've had some out of body experiences and many lucid dreams. The only time I remember seeing my self were during the OBE's.
Once, I woke up early one morning, and went back to sleep trying to exit the body. Felt really strong vibrations and completely let go of any worries, thoughts, or emotions. I just let the energy rush and out of no where I felt my self floating, near the ceiling, looking down at myself laying on my bed. The only problem was that the room felt dark, but I could still somewhat see myself. I looked as I do in the physical world. I was laying down on my back with my eyes closed. I also was able to look at my parents in their room, and they looked similar to they physical selves.
I have this huge mirror closet in my room at my parent's house. In another experience, which started similarly to the one above, I was staring at that mirror, looking back at my "astral" self. It was totally weird and eerie. I saw a huge shadowy figure with a see through smokey material (think the smoke monster in Lost). Now, when out of body, I always seem to just float around. I could never really do it on command. It's as if I had no limbs and I would have to focus really hard to move where I wanted to. But the figure in the mirror definitively had arms and legs like a human being. I think it is because I was so used to my physical self that it was what I expected to see as my reflection.
I guess the mind kinda creates what it knows and what it is used to. For example, gravity is very hard to go against, even in lucid dreams. I've been fascinated with flying since I was a kid. And I have a lot of dreams where I fly, but it is never exactly like I want it to. I always seem to struggle to fly exactly where I want, as if the laws of gravity were still partly there. Even in lucid dreams where I seem to have a lot of freedom and control, physical laws somewhat remain. I assume that you can get better with practice, but I doubt that you could fully get rid of them.
Cool new near death experience and out of body experience article / research for those that are interested.
