This week, I was at my cottage for 4 days. Each night I tried to have an OBE and on the last night something happened. It was in the early morning (the sun wasn't up yet) and I was half-asleep. I remember dreaming of seeing myself in the mirror. I could turn my head and see each side of my face. Then, I started to feel more conscious and suddenly I felt myself rising. It happened so quickly that I was scared and couldn't tell I was maybe having an OBE of some sort. I couldn't move and felt like my stomach (my lower tan tien to be precise) was pulling me downward toward my body. I tried to move my eyes and sort of woke up. I tough about it a little while then got back to sleep. Could that have become an OBE? Was my experience a sign of progression?

Yes, I agree. It definitely sounds like you had a brief OBE. Congratulations! Being completely relaxed is the key. Have you tried using binaural beats to help you? They're very helpful for those just starting.
I tried binaural bits a little bit once. It helped, but not that much. I'm currently practising each morning. I hope to succeed soon.
