I was very upset, my husband and I were fighting and he said he was moving out
and he left. Later I went and got some take-out Italian food and when I got
home I had locked myself out of the house and had to crawl in a bedroom window
to get in. I was very tired and I laid down on the couch to rest awhile. I was
on my back with a light quilt over me and I fell asleep. I had several dreams
in which I thought I had woke up and I was really in another dream. I don't
remember how many times this happened.
Then I really did wake up and I did not move any or open my eyes. I was telling
myself to check out my environment in the dreams and if something wasn't the way
it was supposed to be then I would be able to tell if I was dreaming.
As I was doing this I felt myself float up about a couple of feet from where I
was laying. I said to myself "Hey, this is cool!" and then I kind of wobbled or
rolled from side to side, but something or someone seemed to be holding my left
foot down. I sat up and reached down with both hands and pulled my foot and leg
up along side the right one.
Everything thing was black around me and I was afraid if I didn't do something
quick that I would end up back on the couch. I don't know why, but I remember
asking God to release me, either back into my body or completely out of it.
Then I saw a very small bright light, the color of the sun, straight ahead and a
little bit to the right. I just realized that where I was headed. Then I felt
myself myself moving very fast towards the light, I started getting really dizzy
and it was more than I could take. I don't remember anything after that except
for waking up on the couch.
