Hanna S's Experience

Experience description:
I
was a high-schooler, still living in my parents' house. It was summer afternoon
and I felt tired and was lying on a cough in the TV room. I heard my mum making
noise in the kitchen. I don't know if I fell asleep but suddenly I noticed I was
lying in the ceiling, close to the wall. I was in a fetal position, my legs bent
and I kept my eyes shut. I realized my body is under me and I felt great fear to
look down and I didn't. I saw the wooden wall in front of me and knew I was
there, up in the ceiling. I remember it lasted for a few seconds and then I
started to slowly com down. I felt like I was coming "trough clouds," I heard
loud hissing sound, like the motors in an aero plane or something. When I was
down, I still felt frightened and tried to shout. Nothing came from my mouth and
I tried to call every family member by name. Eventually I could make a small
noise from my mouth. I felt like paralyzed. I got up, confused, and went to the
kitchen, where my mum had a guest. I had to tell her what happened and I was
very amazed she didn't blink an eye, but just said "that can happen to sensitive
people". The whole situation felt absurd as I thought she would have reacted
differently, like not believing me, and in front of her friend.

No

Most
of ppl have believed it, some were frightened, some curious. One told
What
emotions did you experience following your experience?
I was confused
right after it, somehow happy I felt it. Afterwards I haven't really thought
about it much
What
was the best and worst part of your experience?
I felt
frightened when it happened but afterwards I felt quite okay with it as I could
witness myself that these things can happen. I've never kept it as a result of
too vivid imagination, I know what I experienced.
Is
there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?
Maybe
couple of times after this, when lying on my bed before falling asleep, I have
started to feel exceptionally "light". Kind of knowing that if I don't grab the
bed sides, I'd rise up. I guess I still have some frightened feelings towards
this phenomenon so I have moved my body and grabbed the bed sides with my hands
and the light feeling has gone away.

medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?
