EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I had lost my baby , still born six weeks prior to incident. I had been out with friends who had attempted to lift my mood but all I wanted to do at that time was die. I probably had a little episode of depression and had been with friends and had enjoyed a pleasant day. That night I went to bed with no issues. I awoke at 6am and looked at the alarm clock next to my bed. The next thing I felt was moving fast above my body almost flying. I panicked and felt a jolt - I was consciously back on the bed and looking back at the alarm clock. Almost immediately I felt like I had nodded off back to sleep with then another waking of being above my body. I didn't feel like a woman or a man I had no sex. It was me , but I was high above in the room looking down at myself. Then I remember travelling fast, faster than anyway I've ever travelled before and music playing. It sounded like pleasant music , nothing like I would choose but still it was okay. The music had almost oriental/ Asian tones to it with odd instruments I had not heard before but which felt weirdly calming. The room felt warm, not uncomfortable. I remained travelling fast and being aware I shouldn't be going anywhere and wanting to get back. Within seconds I had left the room I was in to be at the top of the stairs. From here I could see post that had arrived through the post box. Five letter three with brown envelopes.  I noticed these. Then as travelling fast almost to go downstairs I saw a woman around age 30 maybe a little younger. She had a white t shirt on, black bobbed hair. She did not look scary but she was waving at me and smiling. I did not follow her, my brain was like I have to go back I've not said goodbye, my mum it will kill her. The next I knew I was jolted back onto the bed. The alarm was registering the same time but I had felt like this had gone on for some time, especially me listening to the music?. I remained still afraid to move. I contacted my doctor as thought this is it I must be dying . The doctor did not think I had gone mad thankfully.  They did think that I had hallucinated. I had definitely not hallucinated as once I did get up and go downstairs the five letters were as I had observed and laid out the way I had seen them, yet in theory physically you had not left my bed. I often have wandered what that was that morning?. I did gain a lot from the experience. It gave me the will to live , it made me slightly afraid of dying and for the first time I wanted to be alive. I felt guilt that I had not just given in and joined my baby also. It will always remain a mystery but I am aware now that there is something else we remain unaware of.
