After about ten minutes laying there with my eyes closed, I began experiencing a bright, beautiful greenish/blue light. Almost like a dimmer, it took about ten seconds to start from dark to a super bright light, although it didn't hurt my eyes. My eyes are still closed!  I then felt a presence in the light, a very loving energy. I remained calm. I didn't move, yet in hindsight, I don't think I even tried to move. I didn't want to scare the wonderful experience away.

Visually, it was like I was surrounded by fog (nothing was distinguishable). The light came from all directions.  I experienced this for a couple minutes, and then decided to open my eyes. When I opened my eyes, to my surprise, it wasn't different. The light was the same, the feelings the same, no change. Like when you're in a pitch black room where your vision is the same with your eyes open or shut -- Black. Only I was a experiencing a very bright wonderful light.

Another couple minutes passed. I willingly waited for whatever was next, and almost as fast as the light appeared -- it disappeared. I could then see my room. No more light, but there where still an essence of the loving energy,  but it too were fading.  I remained awake for at least a couple hours after the experience. I even tried laying on my back again to see if it would come back, but it didn't.
