Under certain conditions, yes.

When we go "out-of-body", are we really going out of body, or are we projecting something outwards from our brain?
Is the subconscious a physical part of the brain, or is it something else that is simply connected to certain parts the brain, and has its primary existence elsewhere?
The only thing that is "real" from my perspective, is consciousness. Everything else, is an abstraction of that. Hence all that is physical is simply a virtualization of processes in consciousness.

We have more evidence that consciousness is more fundamental, despite what materialist ideologues have brainwashed people to believe (and make no mistake, materialism *IS* their religion). You have never had an experience outside of consciousness. You can only ever observe physicality from the lens of consciousness, and the failure of scientists to figure out how precisely consciousness is generated by the brain as some kind of epiphenomonon of physical interaction is simply because it is not generated by the brain.
If anyone cared to objectively think about it, in a serious manner, they would see, with perfect clarity, that it assumes far less, and explains far more, than materialism ever has. It is a more parsimonious explanation, even in regards to Occam's razor.
