Janine's Experience
|
Experience description:
At the weekend, my
children went out with their father so I decided to take a nap. Suddenly I felt
jolted awake, a weird sensation took over my body and could hear a strange noise
and a presence in the room with me before feeling myself being pulled out of my
body. It felt slightly uncomfortable until I was "out." Then I felt weightless.
At first I wondered what was happening, I'd never felt anything like it. I was
in the air floating, I could see my room and myself sleeping. It dawned on me I
was "flying" around my bedroom and I felt peaceful and happy, elated in fact.
Then I suddenly snapped back into my body. A few moments later the same
sensation happened again and I was again out of my body. I thought maybe I'm in
spirit, but if im in spirit why is my deceased daughter not here. A few moments
later I snapped back before it started again, this time I wondered if I was
lucid dreaming. I told myself if this is a dream, my beloved daughter would be
in her cot before flying across my room to view her cot, her cot was still
empty. i then tried to "escape" my surroundings and try to see if I could travel
anywhere but I snapped back again. This happened repeatly twice more before it
stopped. It would always stop when I tried to experiment too much or went too
far.
Each time, I felt a
presence in the room with me. I couldn't see them, just sense them. I remember
"hearing" them say "she's out! She's out!" once when I was out of body. I also
noticed my room was full of light.

I would say 100% aware.
I was 100% aware that I was out of my body yet my body was asleep on my bed. I
was also 100% aware the whole time that my children were not home, so much so I
even knew where they were. I knew I was home alone and knew where I was. I do
not drink and do not take drugs of any kind, including medication.
