sounds like a great experience! I have had very similar experiences but in my case I have always chalked them down to lucid dreams.. but perhaps I was wrong to do so? What about your experience made you realize that you were APing and not LDing? The reason I ask is because there are a few hints in your story that lead me to think that it was perhaps a very vivid lucid dream rather than an AP, mostly from what RB has said on the subject. I've never (as far as I know) had a concious OBE so it's hard for me to understand the differences between them...
