Experience description:   

      i lay in bed relaxed and suddenly i found myself out of my body the body looked like i was sleeping beside my husband. i was pulled down back wards into a darkness. like a vacuum devoid of light. i was afraid. i landed on a cold floor of sorts and saw a door. i opened it and saw a woman. she was nude and asked me to come to her. i did not know what to do so i obeyed and she embraced me. i pushed away but could not. then there was mocking laughter and i again pushed away and began to run in what appeared to be a hall. at the end of the hallway was a being of unspeakable emptiness. it had horns and looked like i would see the devil as at 16. its eyes were black and empty like vacuums devoid of feeling and the laughter became hysterical and consumed me. i have to say i was completely terrified and i knew if i did not get out of there i would be dead and stuck there for ever. i could not move or escape and i cried out for Jesus with all of my strength. suddenly i was pulled upwards so fast i could not see. i was pulled up into light brighter than hundreds of suns. the light filled my very being till i too became the light and then the love that emanated filled me too. i knew i was saved and deeply loved like nothing on earth. i looked around and saw that i was in a place of great beauty. there was green grass that was alive an emanating light from itself. and blue sky that was a shade i have never before seen. i noticed a path and a man walking down he wore what i took to be biblical robes. he pointed to a small church that had a sign which read "the gospel" i heard the words "the truth" and much knowledge filled my mind and my mind accepted and understood all. then there was a rushing sound and i found myself "clicking into my body as a familiar shirt.....and i opened my eyes and began gasping for breath. i screamed hysterically and cried joyfully as i sat up and tried to recall all that had happened. my husband at the time quickly brushed it off as a vivid dream and i rarely told anyone after a few unsuccessful attempts. it was definitely not dream. i have had lucid dreams but this  was different after this event i began to spontaneously have OBE but they never replicated the original event. i also have a voice that comes every so often to tell of events which then come to happen. i also communicate telepathically with animals
