Experience description:

I remember lying down to sleep, the next the I sensed was I felt a gritty surface under me, I opened my eyes and was on the ceiling looking down at my prone body.  I was thinking 'cool'.  After a moment of so I started moving up thru the house, seeing plumbing, wood supports, I popped into (as in just moving through) a spare bedroom.  Then to the attic, insulation, wires, then out the roof.  I was moving approx. 5 feet a second, getting higher and higher, so I was nearly about a thousand feet.  When a thought came to me (like out of nowhere, prior I was content and happy, just calm) and at that moment I started panicking and thought NO, NO, NO!!!!  The next thing that happened I went speeding back the way I came (the speed was like 500 feet a second) and I awoke in my prone form on the bed.  I have NEVER had another NDE.

At the time of your experience was there an associated life-threatening event?   Uncertain  Again, now I have Sleep Apnea, But at that time all was know was I was a LOUD snorer.

Was the experience difficult to express in words?  Yes     The only way I can put this into words is, I've replayed that moment, millions of times over and over.  Even though I'm writing about it now, for some reason I feel sad.

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    when I was floating up I was calm and alert, but not worried in the least.

How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal everyday consciousness and alertness?      More consciousness and alertness than normal   I felt a sense of love, not a care in the world, seeing the landscape getting smaller, to the point where I thought I was looking at a map

Please compare your vision during the experience to your everyday vision that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience.   I wore glasses (single lens) with 20/200 left eye and 20/40 right and yet I had NO glasses on and I could see plainly and very sharp and clearly.

Please compare your hearing during the experience to your everyday hearing that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience.   I don't remember hearing anything at all.

Did you see or hear any earthly events that were occurring during a time that your consciousness / awareness was apart from your physical / earthly body?   No  

What emotions did you feel during the experience?   At first, awareness, then calm, happy, at peace with myself. THEN panic, then nothing since I was back in the body.  

Did you pass into or through a tunnel?   No  

Did you see an unearthly light?   Uncertain   I mean it was a nice spring day approaching summer, bright and sunny, although I never thought of it that way.  I guess there could of been a glow; but I never thought of it.

Did you seem to enter some other, unearthly world?   No
I guess that it seemed if I had continued my journey, I was headed towards something.

Did time seem to speed up or slow down?   Time seemed to go faster or slower than usual
I would have to say slower, for animals and people (neighbors) weren't moving, But that was not my concern.

Did you suddenly seem to understand everything?   No

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure?   Uncertain
Unless when the decision to go on or to return was a boundary I don't know.

Did you come to a border or point of no return?   I came to a definite conscious decision to "return" to life
whether it was panic, or just a decision gate.  I know that My grandmother was dying in the hospital.  And I felt almost as an after thought, my mother could not handle another death in the family.  And yet this didn't even occur to me while floating upwards.

How accurately do you remember the experience in comparison to other life events that occurred around the time of the experience?   I remember the experience more accurately than other life events that occurred around the time of the experience   To this day, I can still remember all that I felt, at times it seems to be like a permanent record in my brain.  

My experience directly resulted in:   Slight changes in my life

Did you have any changes in your values or beliefs after the experience that occurred as a result of the experience?   Yes   I am aware of lives of  learning the lessons in life so I won't have to come to this cesspool.  And yet, I now feel that the dead are among us in the same dimension set apart of us at a higher frequency.

Do you have any psychic, non-ordinary or other special gifts after your experience that you did not have before the experience?   No   But, I seem to have D�j� vu; I'll have a dream of a future moment; and immediately forget it happen, and I won't dream again, until.  Whether it's a few days, a month; but not more than 6 months, I'll at that very instance remember my dream and realize, that I've been here or at least dreamt I was there.  Then I'm free to have another d�j� vu dream.  I would have to say the earliest instance, I know of starting around age 12.
