Robyn L's Experience

Experience description:
I was
getting ready for my class at college when this overwhelming feeling of
"sleepiness" came over me. I could barely keep my eyes open. I went back to
bed and before my head hit the pillow I started floating. I know my eyes were
not open but I could see myself floating towards the wall. I pushed myself away
from the wall and started do the back stroke trying to get back to bed. I
remember I was scared thinking the devil was doing something. I made it back to
my bed and as soon as I hit the bed I awoke. I was wide awake and felt rested.
Exactly
one year later, the same overwhelming feeling of "sleepiness" came over me
again. This time I knew what was going to happen so I got underneath the covers
and tucked the sheets and blankets tightly down the side of the water bed. Once
again, my eyes were closed but I could see myself floating towards the wall. I
pushed myself away again and did the back stroke back to bed. When I awoke, the
covers were perfectly tucked in my bed like I had never left the bed to float.
But I was floating.
