On this particular evening, I laid down in bed with my wife. I was on my back with my right arm raised above me and under my pillow and head. I thought to myself " I can't go to sleep in this position or I will have a crippled right arm in the morning. I realized that I could not feel my right arm at all. I had not been in bed two minutes yet!  I then realized that I could not feel any part of my body. No arms, No legs.  I could not feel the bed, the covers, my head on the pillow, nothing!  

That is when I started feeling that sinking floating feeling.  I had felt it before.  It was neat, I always liked it.  The next thing I know is that I am out of my body, outside, somewhere. it was dark, night.  I did not know where I was, but I knew I was not in my body. I even said to myself, "hey, I'm out here cruisin' around" I was floating in the night. 

I then saw what appeared to be a light colored trail/road/pathway. I was not sure what it was.  I floated down to take a look at it.  I was earthen.  I tried to take a step and walk on it.  I had no foot, or the foot I thought I had could make no purchase with this ground. This surprised me and I ascended back up in the air. I still knew I was out of my body.  I then floated directly over some multi colored lights that were spaced apart.  I wondered what town I was over. The lights were green, yellow, amber, red, and not in any set pattern.  I had to be a small town I thought.

I then thought " Well I'm out here. Lets go someplace. I didn't know where to go. I then decided to go see my ex wife. I chose this because I thought that would be far away I guess. I didn't really care if I saw her on not.  I was troubled.  I did not know how to go there, or even where it was.  I did not know how to make myself go somewhere!   

The next second I saw a golden (I don't know what to call it) connection emitting from a spot in my forehead, curving and bending through space and connecting me with my body.  I quickly flew through space (what a ride) and almost slammed back in my body. Except I didn't slam onto my body.  My re-entry was cushioned at the last instant. 

The next day I had to take more supplies down in to the Canyon, (my job)  I thought about this experience all morning. Did it really happen? I knew it did.  I knew it wasn't a dream.  I had not even gone to sleep when it happened. 

Then it happened.  I was in the Red and Whites, steep switchbacks in the Kiabab Trail.  I could look down on the trail as it crossed the plateau. I realized THAT was the white thing I tried to walk on last night. I was looking at from a much different view but that was it. The trail went across a white limestone on the plateau. I could never see it the way I saw it last night unless I flew over it.  I entered the inner canyon and on to Phantom Ranch. As I rode through the Phantom Ranch camp ground  it was about 7:30 AM. I saw all these tents that campers had erected during the night. Red, yellow, green. I then saw a young man exiting his tent. He had a candle holder in his hand. I noticed another tent had one hanging inside it. I realized that these were the lights in the town that I had drifted over last night.  

The time I had gone to bed would have been the time people were getting in their tents and preparing for bed and had lights on in their tents.  That is it.  I would like to do this on command.
