Experience description:

When I was about 6 or 7, I remember looking looking down at myself sleeping. My mother was sitting on the floor talking on the phone with someone, and my little sister was sleeping on the couch. (We were all in the living room). I then noticed my baby picture was leaning up against the wall on the floor, and in it was a beautiful sky blue. I heard all of my family’s voices all at once coming from the picture. I started to float over to the picture, and when I went to go in to it, i woke up. And there my mom was, sitting on the floor talking on the phone, and my little sister sleeping on the couch. Everything was how I seen it before, only that my baby picture was hanging back up.
