All of a sudden I found myself in a meadow or garden, very beautiful, with red flowers like giant poppies. I could not see my body, though I knew I was still myself.  Within me there was a noise like a vacuum-cleaner, but a deeper note. I was walking in the garden, ecstatic, marvelling, filled with joy, walking very quickly or almost flying, when suddenly I saw a neighbour called Rosi; she had died some two years previously. This neighbour was from my home-town, not where I live now. She was standing next to a white wall, I guess the wall of a house, as she communicated to my mind that this was my house. I don't know if she asked me in, but I intended to go in, but at that moment I found myself back in my bed. I have always wanted to have a house with a garden,  especially for the sake of my little dog, but I have never been able to have one.

I had fragile health with a lot of depression, as well as being ill, which nobody believed. The doctors only found a cure when they finally discovered the illness, after about 4 years.
