I wanna phase!

[Gummage]

Hi guys! 1st time here. Right so I am wanting to perhaps see how OBE's work as I want one. My college buddy who also has this deep interest says he has accomplished one before and says its well worth trying to do. I have looked on numerous sites for info on techniques and such and came across one called "phasing". To me this seems like a technique that speaks out to me to try which I will but I want to be able to know exactly what I am doing. While I have read about Frank Kepple and other stuff on it I want to know what people who are currently applying the technique are doing and how. I do have some straight questions which I hoped someone could answer so things could be more cleared up in my mind about the technique before I really go to town attempting it.
K so here they are:

Is it better to try phasing when very tired or fully awake?
Do you need to specifically be in meditation state like Alpha or Theta brainmode before phasing progress?
Are you meant to actually try invisage things to try "phase" into or just stare at the darkness until you see something?
How long (very roughly) until the average person trying this technique see's things in the darkness to phase into?
Is it true that phasing is not different from havin a OBE or AP other than the method to get there?
Pls tell of your first successful phasing experience.

Thanks for readin!
