Experience description:

I had been at a state of deep relaxation all day. I was now lying on my bed , trying to meditate. Suddenly I felt a strong pressure on the right side of my head and the left leg, under the knee. I found my right side being lifted up into the air, very slowly. At first I was interested in what happened and let it happen, willingly. The other side of my body was lifted up as well. Then I realized how absurd it was to be floating a few decimeters over the bed. I tried to get down but I couldn't, so I started to get really scared. I moved around, threw my legs up and down, tried everything I could think of, but I was still floating there. I was terrified. I screamed as loud as I could but no sound came from my mouth. Then I slowly calmed down. Slowly my left side sunk down again, and after that the right side of me. I was lying on the bed, fully awake and with my eyes open.
