Experience description:

I was between 7-9 years of age. Middle-class family in the suburbs of Buffalo NY. I was sleeping on the couch in our living room that evening. I sometimes did this when there was a thunderstorm and my room upstairs was to close to the sky. I remember just popping out of my body. I looked down and saw myself laying there sleeping.  It was very weird but I was not scared. I do not know why I was sleeping on the couch that night. I know there was no thunderstorm. My best guess was that I had been abused sexually by my father that evening and was scared to sleep in my bedroom, in case he came back. I was sexually abused as a child from a very young age until about 11 years old.

So there I was floating above my body. I thought of myself as a cloud just hovering.. I started to feel a sense of concern for my siblings and as soon as I started feeling that I started floating down the hallway, around the corned and into their rooms. Weirdly in that i floated there as if walking but then went through their doors to look at them sleeping.. although went thru is not accurate, more like I thought and then I was there.. I checked in on both sets of siblings and then feeling reassured that they were okay.   I went up through the tunnel and into the light. Supersonic speed very fast...then I was with 4 or 5 beings. They were pure light, energy and peace. They were all familiar to me, like family members, but I cannot tell you who they are now. they were wearing white robes, except white is not the color, it was more than white. They spoke into me. Not like hearing voices external or internal, but in me.  They were seated on a bench I was sitting in one of their laps...The person felt like a male and was comforting me...They were telling me all about myself, I knew everything//then they told me it was time to go back.  I was afraid, but they told me it was all right, I would be okay.  I still did not want to go.  Then a women came and held me close and lovingly told me about something I had to do, it was very important that I go back and do it.  I do not remember what she told me though. I laid my head in her lap and she caressed me.  Then I went back to my body and opened my eyes, looked around. I felt a huge sense of peace. I then fell asleep.
