1st exp?

[YourLocalRockstar]

afternoon folks.
ive been trying to oobe on and off for years and recently started to practice again with some rather decent results.
basically ive not tried anything different from what ive done in the past but im able to get the energy bursts in my head with roughly 3 second intervals between each burst. after about 5 bursts my head is about explode and my whole body is vibrating, an exp im used to from spontaneous encounters. what im asking myself is 'why now?' why am i having some moderate success. i dont know what im doing different. also i think i may have had my first concious oobe, but the more i think about it the more i doubt. this happened yesterday whilest practicing next to my gf. basically i got the bursts of enegery in my head which lead to all over vibes, i then wondered how to get out...i decided to try the rope technique...why...its never worked before. well anyway surprising i was out of my body, i could see but the room was dark yet it was daylight when i attemped approx 11 am. my vision was that of being able to see underwater but without the blur...kind of wavey?? lack of a better word. i turned to my gf who wasnt in the position she should of been on the bed.i turned around and my tv wasnt where it should have been. i decided to see if i could jump through my ceiling...i jumped and banged my head, not what i was expecting. finally i jumped over my banister (my room is the attic) and floated down my ladder and noticed it got progressivly darker and then i woke up. for a first exp i wasnt overly excited like i thought i should have been, but i definatly had control yet the more i think about it the more i doubt that it was an oobe. so im posting here to see if some of you guys can shed a little light on my situation.
thanks all o/

side note before i forget. i clearly remember saying 'clarity now' to improve my vision. nothing happened. not sure how important that minor detail is but i'll leave it to you guys.

Hey, I could be wrong but that sounds just like a brief RTZ (real time zone) projection. There are often differences in the "scenery" in projections, so don't worry about that.
Not sure about why the clarity command didn't work, though.
Congratulations!

Regarding seeing, it helps to give yourself mental suggestions, such as "I can now see clearly", " I can stay out of my body as long as I want", these affirmations have helped me greatly.

Also I have had lucid dreams, lucid dreams that I am out of my body and numerous OOBE's, once you have had several of each you will know the difference and have no doubt about when your OOB or dreaming your OOB
