Experience description:

I was sleeping normally.  I remember getting the feeling that I was being lifted up and floating towards a nearby door.  At the time I felt as if someone (or more than one) was moving me out of the room.  I floated about 6 feet above the bed where my husband was sleeping.  I became frightened when I felt that I was close to the door and the experience stopped. I awoke briefly, but went back to sleep and slept through the night.  When I awoke in the morning, the memory of the experience was very real.  I felt silly about it and didn't mention it to anyone, but I certainly felt as if something had happened in the night, and I still can remember the feeling of floating in the air.

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Uncertain, It was very brief and I don't know how to explain it.
