Experience description:

I lived alone at the time. I prepared a meal and ate while listening to the radio. After finishing my meal I took a packet of milk and laid in bed while sipping the milk. I finished the milk and switched off the lights and the radio. After what seems like a minute I was awake and sat at the edge of my bed. I looked around and I saw my body covered in bed. I was terrified and thought I was dead. I tried to touch the empty packet of milk to see whether it was expired and thus poison but I could not grasp it. I could  not touch myself. I finally resigned to the fact that I was dead. My fear subsided and I tried to explore my world. I moved from one room to the other with only my imagining it. I found myself outside the house just by merely wishing. I went to my rural home where I saw the dogs and the compound - it was quite and people were asleep. I felt tired and came back to my bedroom. I decided to sleep next to my body and wait for morning to come. I entered the blankets and closed my eyes. when I opened them my physical eyes opened and I was conscious. I woke in a fright and felt so much peace that I can't explain. I wish I could do it every night.
