Carol H's Experience

Experience description:
I laid down to
take a nap one afternoon and as I was drifting off, I heard a loud buzzing all
around me. This had happened previously and I always shook my head to get rid
of the sound. This time, however, I decided to just let it go on. The next
sensation was of falling. I kept telling myself that I was safe and to just let
it happen. As I was "falling," I heard voices that I didn't recognize. It
sounded like bits and pieces of conversations. Then suddenly I was floating up
toward the ceiling. I remember thinking that this was impossible, that I wasn't
light enough to float. I ended up at the ceiling, kind of bobbing around and I
felt really free. There was no fear at all. It felt totally natural.
But when I
looked down, I saw a little blond girl in the doorway. She was looking up at me
and pointing. Then a woman came into the room, looked up and grabbed the little
girl's hand and they both left the room. I didn't recognize either one of
them. I felt like I was in my bedroom but it was different. For example, my
pictures were no longer on the walls. I felt like it belonged to these other
people that I have never seen before. I almost felt like an intruder. Anyway,
after they left I found myself back in my body on the bed. I was totally awake
and this experience was very real and vivid. This experience was NOTHING like a
