The Monroe Institute in the UK has a great page displaying the Focus Level List. Please also pay attention to the video with Robert Monroe speaking.

Focus 1 – Normal, everyday waking consciousness. Completely in phase with
physical matter reality. Also referred to as “C1 Consciousness”.

Focus 10 – The physical body is deeply relaxed while the mind remains conscious, awake and alert. “Mind awake, body asleep.”

Focus 11 – The Access
Channel – the ultimate communication channel to all levels of awareness
-mental, physical, and emotional. Opened during each Human Plus® exercise.

Focus 12 – A state of expanded awareness while the body remains deeply relaxed and asleep.

Focus 15 – A state of
No-Time. Consciousness is now far removed from physical body signals.
Linear time is no longer relevant to experience.

Focus 21 – On the very edge of perception of the time/space continuum. Mind remains fully conscious and active.

Focus 22 – On the border between time/space and non-physical states of being. Comatose.

Focus 23 – The condition in which an individual may find him or herself immediately following physical death.

Focus 24 – The site of non-physical activity generated by simple or primitive religious or cultural beliefs.

Focus 25 – The expression of the major organized religious beliefs in recent human history.

Focus 26 – Here are
identified certain areas, few in number, containing the structures and
knowledge of various highly individual religious and other beliefs based
on direct experience of self.

(Focus Levels 24 to 26 are referred to as the Belief System Territories, and are explored extensively during the Lifeline program)

Focus 27 – The edge of
human thought capacity. The site of a way-station (not a terminus) for
rest and recovery from the trauma of physical death.

Focus 34/35 –
The area of the Gathering. Beings from many other locations within the
physical universe are gathered here to witness the upcoming Earth
Changes. First mentioned in Bob Monroe’s second book, Far Journeys.

Focus 42 – I-There cluster consciousness.

Focus 49 – Sea of I-There clusters.

I also like this graph with their spectrum of other states or practices and how the correlate with the non-physical / physical. I'd assume 'Mystical Experiences' to also represent OBEs.

Now the comparison to the Frank Kepple Resource and his 'Wider Reality' Model. I copy this initial post from a post I made long ago on the Transients forum. First, here is the link. It is recommendable to read it in its entirety.

I recently rediscovered the late Frank Kepple's system/cosmology which is a simplified model of Robert Monroes (founder of the Monroe Institute) focus levels model. While Monroes focus levels are up to 35 or higher Kepple's model is very simple and straightforward from F1-4. It was all his own exploration but many projectors could relate to it from their experiences (mine included), although I disagree with him in some minor points.

Quote Kepple:

So how does my model equate with Monroe's? Well, in most ways they sit very well together. My model can best be viewed as a simplified version of Monroe's, but with additional features which are due to discoveries made by me during the course of my explorations. For those familiar with Monroe's system of labels, here is a basic comparison as far as possible:
Monroe's Focus C1 = my Focus 1
Monroe Focus 3, 10, 12, 15 & 21 = my Focus 2
Monroe Focus 23, 24, 25, 26 & 27 = my Focus 3
Here the comparison ends, as my Focus 4 has no Monroe counterpart.

Frank was a skilled explorer of the non-physical planes or dimensions (4D/5D) and is held in high regard among the projector community. His write-up is excellent and an interesting read (it is a summary done by s.o. else compiling the forum posts actually).

So taken in to account that this is a spectrum with lots of gradients this would be my (rough) comparison with the often used 3/4/5-D model and also with the 'historical' (Eastern, Theosophical) 'planes/bodies' model:

F1 - physical plane - 3D
F2 - astral private / (lucid or unlucid) dream planes - 4 D
F3 - astral lower and higher / public planes - 4 or in part already 5 D ? (this is rather muddy)
F4 - mental planes / 'spiritual essence' (quote Kepple) / Higher Selves / or even 'Source'? - 5 D
