So I observe my surroundings "usually in Awe, of the beauty" and I feel myself drifting off.

On this one particular night I had felt as if I had actually awoke in a place I've never seen before, and I saw myself standing in front of me. I was in a "praying on knees position" i.e. not the way I was sleeping, or in the room I was sleeping in I looked at myself "in front of me" and tried to speak, but instead the words moving my lips moving "the me on my knees" the standing ME's lips moved. What was I trying to say? Oh MY GOD! I looked around to see if there was anyone else or anything else. I saw nothing but a wooden chair behind me that appeared to be an antique. Feeling there was nothing to do here I remember walking into myself. Then I remember the most intense falling feeling I've ever felt.. it lasted for what seems like a really long time. . I then awoke. . and had what I'd describe as mixed brain messages. . i.e. thoughts were colliding inside my head as if I were resorting them it took me a good 5 minutes to "collect" myself. I then closed my eyes to try to go back to sleep. .it almost seemed as if I was being forcibly put to sleep. .the next thing I remember I was holding my head by the hair in my left hand and laughing about it. I somehow "without the head on my body" looked at the bottom of the head and it was a graphic depiction of a the bottom of a head that had been cut from the body. Oddly I was not afraid. . that's all I Logged from the experience.

After I awoke I felt invincible, and as if I could conquer the world. I have felt this way since this occurrence to this day.

Was the experience dream like in any way?  When i was younger my dreams were of places ive seen. . just slightly off. . ie. some things were out of place. . this seems more like somewhere someone has taken me oddly. . I cannot explain it's a feeling and i'm no Poet
