I knew i was out of my body as i have experienced it before, not very often though. At the end of my bed there is a wardrobe which has a chime hanging off it so i was thinking to myself if i could hit that and it would make a sound.  So as i was thinking, i started to move forward and my feet hit it. I couldn't feel moving nor could i feel my feet touching my wardrobe but i heard the chime make a sound. so i knew i had moved. actually i think i slightly remember moving, floating or something forward to it.

After i heard that sound i was completely freaked out and i wanted 2 return back to my normal body.  at this stage i thought i had died as this experience was different than the others i had experienced in the past. as i was returned to my body, i feel i kicked but physically i didn't kick out of it. When i returned back to my body, i put my hand against my heart and it was beating extremely fast as it had done last time when i had left my body. This experience would of lasted less than a minute, i feel if i wanted it to it would of lasted longer but i became very scared and wanted it to end, so it did end, for that night
