Is there a difference between virtual reality and virtual thinking (virtual reality being the computer orientated experience of simulated reality and the other a practise of outer body experiences, thoughts and feelings. Is one needed for the other?

This extract got me thinking. Could it be theorised that as some people may have 'addictive personalities', it may also be said that one may have an 'immersive personality'? What I mean by this is that one with an immersive personality may have a tendency to daydream. It could also be theorised that no having an immersive personality may lead to difficulty in conversation over the telephone. As most of us will know, some people find it awkward talking on the telephone. This, it could be argued, may be down to the person not being able to place themselves in a zone between the two in conversation (namely, the space in virtual reality). I'd be very interested to hear comments on this section.
