Experience description:

            My experience dates back to year 1998. Unlike most conventional NDEs, I did not experience death nor dangerous circumstances. Everything happened at night. I was sound asleep in my student bedroom when I had a dream. Indeed, this dream differed from conventional dreams, because I felt like there was a very strong invisible presence in my bedroom and although asleep, I was perfectly aware of it, however, it�s very difficult for me to describe how. In my dream, I was on top of a hill which I know very well in my country capital city, Yaound� in Cameroon, and I felt like I was kind of sitting on a skate board, somewhat like those teenagers use. Sitting on this board, I felt like somebody pushed me, and I started to rush downhill at amazing speed, so fast I can�t describe it, fairly like formula 1 racing cars. Once down the hill, I started to rise in the air, quite like I would fly, and there, although physically still asleep, I was perfectly aware I was not in my physical body anymore, this body was still laying in my bedroom. I started to rise higher and higher, and when I raised my eyes, I felt like the clouds where parting away on my path, but mainly I could not slow down, I kept rising higher and higher, when all of a sudden, I was in totally indescribable atmosphere. I started to slow down as if I had reached my maximal height, and I heard a very pleasant music, and I had never heard anything so beautiful on Earth, no sound compares to this. Then, I felt kind of enveloped in a very sweet and invisible presence, somewhat like a baby  swathed in its cradle. I found myself in a very bright light, the music kept playing on, I felt incredibly well, very well. The only feeling I had was the love which flowed from this light. The only thing I saw was the blazing light that enveloped me, while feeling the sweetness of the Presence amidst the music. Things lasted this way a few seconds, then, I felt kind of hurled downwards, and in a split second I found myself in my bedroom, under the form of a floating being. I saw my body on my bed and I was immediately sort of sucked back inside it. While penetrating inside my physical body, I felt like you put a glove on, or when you wear socks, this was for me the irrevocable proof that there is indeed a dissociation between my physical body and my spirit.

On the one hand I was in front a very bright light, but on the other hand I did not feel blinded, rather a total well being.

Did your hearing differ in any way from your normal, everyday hearing (in any aspect, such as clarity, ability to recognize source of sound, pitch, loudness, etc.)?              Yes     The music seemed to me both very sweet and very profound, a bit like it would penetrate inside of me. And it is difficult to me to compare to earthly music.
