Mainly when I had the flu with some fever. When I was almost sleeping, with my eyes closed,  I felt like I was going up and there was nothing I could do about that. I was not scary but strange. When I opened my eyes I could see myself in my bed, and I was as high as the ceiling. I do not remember how I got back, but the feeling of being out of my body faded away and I was back in my body.

Because of that I was awake again with mixed feelings. I thought it was wonderful, I didn't knew what it was or what happened.

I was disappointed it stopped, but on the other hand I was glad I was back.

It gave me such a strange feeling the day after, that I was wondering if it was a dream or not.

Later on when I was around the age of 15, I saw a documentary about this on TV. I was starring at the TV! This was something I had experienced when I was a child!! From that moment I knew it was not dreams.
