It's a pretty awesome thing to prove to yourself that we really can exit our bodies! Congratulations AntiGravity!! [8D]

The one OBE I had happened in similar circumstances (I sort of fell outta practice soon afterward, but I'm trying again).

The similar part as that I had dozed off.. and then I woke up, realized I was awake and in my bed etc... I'm not sure If I had sleeping paralysis because I didn't try to move.  I started doing the exercise where you recreate the feeling of vertigo (the feeling you get going up in an elevator) and I shot upwards as if launched from a catapult. I saw the sky and treetops for a few seconds, then my vision went black.. and I flew around for awhile (the only time ever that flight felt truly graceful).. and then I lost focus and fell asleep I guess.. but I awoke 15 mins later or so and recalled the above.

Anyway, congrats man!  Also, I'm not sure if this works for you, but 70% of the time I take a nap during the day, I wake up with sleeping paralysis.. no clue why, but my mom says the same thing happens to her.

Oh wow, I am so happy!!! I cant find the words to describe the way I feel right now! First off, Id like to send great thanks to Hurricane Ivan for making it rain so damn much up here so that the power went off, and Cube for supplying me with the knowledge of Sleep Paralysis and how to OOBE from it. (Ill explain why I thanked the hurricane in a moment) Now here goes my first OOBE!!
I was sleeping, and it was very early in the morning, maybe 3 or 4ish. I was in a pretty light state of sleep, or may have been awake but just trying to get back to sleep. Anyway, all of a sudden the power goes off, and I say I must have been lightly sleeping because I sensed that the lights just went off at the neighbors house. So, after the power goes out, Im still laying there with my eyes closed and these pretty loud beeping noises go off downstairs in set of twos. They sounded like when you shuffle sneakers on hardwood or tile and you get that squeek. My first thought was OMFG theres someone in the house! Now Im fully awake and conscious; my arms are laying on my pillows above my head and my body is almost straight. I want to get up and figure out what those noises were, but I COULDNT MOVE! I tried very hard for a few seconds to try and move but no luck. I could only open and shut my eyes and my jaw. I suddenly realized, Im in sleep paralysis! I can OOBE from here!. So I shut my eyes and begin taking deep slow breaths. It was a little difficult to do, but I managed to do them. After my second breath, I started feeling intense sensations; kinda like the vibrations but somehow different, I cant explain it. Then I imagine myself rotating out of my body, I really felt myself do it! (If Im looking at my body on the bed, Im facing north. I was rotating by my feet counter clockwise, so I was facing west now.) As soon as I was fully sure that I was rotated enough (enough was just facing west like I explained), my vision came and I was looking at a very big ceiling, somewhat like my houses entrance ceiling. It was white and had like square colomns that sorta went someting like:

~ See Below ~

(On both sides of the wall.) They were also white and merged with the ceiling at the top "bend". Strange thing is, I was sure I would see my bedroom ceiling and my room, but I was like rotated west attached to my physical feet with my astral body facing up at this huge ceiling. I know it was an OOBE and no dream because I could see it perfectly clear and felt very much "there". I guess at this point I thought of my body and woke up in the same position with my eyes closed. They opened and I was able to move again. It wasnt until about an hour later that I realized what I had just done because I was more worried about that noise. Turns out, something makes that noise when the power goes out and comes back. So then I start dancing in my room (litterally dancing, Ive been trying for 7 month and have finally done it!!!) and now,  Im here talking about it.
Im soooo happy, you have no idea how greatful I am right now. Thank you all, thanks everyone and everything for your help! I love you all!!!!

P.S. I thanked the hurricane because it has been bringing a downpour of rain since yesterday and hasnt let up. I knew the power would go out and that it would help me somehow, I dont know how I knew this but I could sure feel it.
Once again, thank you everyone, and take care!
   

Dangit, cant get the example of the colomns to show. Heres what they looked like in paint.
