Yes, please do...

I've very little idea what to make of this, but everything iv read on the subject of AP leads me to believe i just stumbled onto the real thing. Tell me what you think...

I was staying at my girlfriend's place, and we were just waking up, for the first of many times, that morning. We were up till about 3:30, the night prior, and her family keeps chickens and roosters that roam free in their yard, so we awoke promptly, with their crowing, at the crack of dawn. I was feeling very 'half asleep' that morning, as i had a lot of energy the day before, and i didnt fall asleep that easily that night. Anyway, after the poultry woke us, we lay there for a while, both of us trying to get back to sleep, and thats about when it happened.

I lost "Concsiousness", or so it felt like, just about how it feels when you first enter a dream state when you fall asleep, except that i dinstinctly remember instantly knowing that i still had control of myself. The first thing i experienced was pitch blackness, though i could actually still feel my hands the whole time, as i had a constant "pins and needles", sort of electric sensation, in both of them. In fact, that was all i could really feel. I had a sense of vision, and i could feel some electic sensation in my hands, and thats about it. I dont remember feeling any other part of my body. And then, just about as soon as i realized that the pitch blackness had occured, it dissipated, and i was in a house, of some sort. The first thing i noticed was that i was in a hallway, with a large bit of the wall to my right that looked like a shopping cart full of bricks was sent right into it; just sort of had a large smashed spot in it. The hallway was painted white, or so i remember it as being so, and every last bit of the time, i could still feel my hands, with that sort of static electricity, hands-falling-asleep sensation in them the whole time. In fact, i am more compelled to describe the feeling in my hands as a more electric sensation, because i did not experience any of the numbness that you get when you do have pins and needles in a part of your body.

As i say, i dinstinctly remember being instantly aware that i had control of myself in this state. Not just moving and feeling, but i remember thinking to myself, as soon as the blackness went away and i was in this house, "Am i out?" After that, i tried moving. I felt like i was reaching out with my hands, palms flat and fingers stretched out, as if i were giving someone a "high ten", and i gave an abstract thought "Forward". It was more as if i felt the word, than heard myself say it, just like when i asked myself if i was out, but i still recognized it as being in the english language. Anyway, upon feeling the word "Forward", i began moving down the hall, until i felt myself stop. That, however, is about when i snapped back to my body.

Now, i have uncertainties about this experience. One, of course the possiblity existsts that this was simply a lucid dream, because to be honest, i have very little idea whose house, or what building i was in, and have no memory of such a building with that smashed spot on the wall of a hall. However, if that be the case, how would the state of pitch blackness just before it be explained? Entering a dream state has always felt very instantanious to me. Also, the static electric sensation in my hands, and the free floating movement sensation, i have never experienced in a dream before.

Im not sure if this qualifies as AP, but it was still an amazing experience. Any thoughts would be most apreciated.
