This had happened to me once or twice before, but I always woke myself up because it is very frightening.  For some reason I decided to over-come the fear, and just see what happens.  I was still flying  through a void of darkness, pressure building, vibrations getting louder and louder. I wanted to cover my ears, which to this day, I still can't explain.  So after about five minutes of this, I was about to give up and wake myself up.  A second later, it was all over.  There was no more velocity, no pressure, no sound or vibration.  I was surrounded by light.  It was a white light that felt like pure energy.

This sounds crazy, but if it were possible to feel the presence of God, this would be it.  There was so much power all around me that it made me feel intimidated. But instead of feeling scared, I said four words, "I'm open to you" (I thought I was in the presence of God, but later my friend told me that I reached the core of my consciousness, I don't know what to believe.)

Anyway, as soon as those words left my mouth, I was back in my bed.  I sat up and went to rub my eyes, but my arms were invisible.  I could make out the outline of them, but they were transparent.  I looked around my room, and everything was intact, but darker than usual.  I started hyperventilating because  I though I was a ghost.  My heart started to beat so fast.  That's when I woke up for real.  I started crying, and woke up my mom to tell her what happened.  I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night, so I went online and that's when I learned about OBE.  I never heard of it before, I only heard of Near death experiences.
