Dangerous? I sincerely doubt that. It can feel dangerous, that's for certain, but it's pretty much just a strange kind of dream. I started having them rather frequently earlier this year, the result of training myself to have lucid dreams. Ironically, my first OBE was a direct result of my scepticism and disinterest in them. They're certainly strange, but I don't like them as much as a regular lucid dream, in fact they can be downright disturbing if you don't know that you're dreaming.
My method is like this:
Sleep erratically, this increases your chances of finding yourself in sleep paralysis - sp is fucking frightening until you come to terms with it, after that it is your friend and gateway to interesting dreaming. I've only ever had OBE's in the morning, good morning sleep conditions are lots of people banging around and talking loudly outside your bedroom door - this means that you'll wake up quite often, though for very short periods of time, this will encourage 'false awakenings' which you'll often experience both before and after OBE's. Trying to learn how to achieve lucid dreams is probably the best way to have an OBE because they're closely related.
