Experience description:

My experience always happened when I was a child, probably 8 years old, and it was always reoccurring. I would see this brighter than any bright ball of light and it was always hovering at the door. I would leave my body and see my body and my sister in her bed and I was really afraid of it. I remember feeling a pull to the light and trying to fight reaching it, and every single time I would reach it, I would feel myself race back to my body, causing me to jolt out of bed. This continued to happen until I told someone, then never again. I've been thinking about it lately and trying to will it to happen, but no luck. The part of me that always made me skeptical of this, is that I would always hear water running, like the sound of the bath tub, and that was what would lure me to the door, because it was as if something was wrong with the water being on and a need to turn it off, but I wasn't able to ever get to it because the light would stop me. Every time I'd touch the light, it was like a forceful energy. Terrified me at the time, but I wish I could experience that again now that I am older, I'd experiment a bit.

I see things before they happen. Once I was driving behind a truck with a bunch of mirrors and I could picture them coming at me, so I slowed down, and then at that moment the mirrors fell out of the truck toward me, thank God I slowed down because it would have went through my windshield. I also had a premonition of someones pet dying and that day I went to work and coworkers pet had died.
