Experience description:

 
          I found myself in a dark tunnel at the end of which I saw a small, powerful light.  I walked slowly but confidently toward it which grew as I got closer.  At the end of my journey, the tunnel and darkness gave way to a complete, ineffable light where there was a resplendent city without shadows.
 
         Three days after this nighttime dream, at 10 a.m. while I was at work, I felt an enormous luminous force ascend from my body to my head which changed my way of seeing the world from being normally gray to illuminated as if everything has its own internal light.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:   Experience was definitely real   It has remained imbedded within me and has produced fulfillment, assurance, and a desire to share it with others so that they might also want to experience something similar. 
 
Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you? Answered in questions 3, 12 and 21
 
How do you currently view the reality of your experience:          Experience was definitely real

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience? Yes    Regarding illumination...I have recently discovered what is clearly described in the Hindu tradition as "Kundalini Awakening," but together with what I expressed earlier, the experience is perfected through the knowledge of the Love of Jesus which also happened sequentially in my own spiritual history.
 
Are there any other questions we could ask to help you communicate your experience?   I think the questionnaire is well structured.  Perhaps there is a super-imposition of questions but I'm not sure.
