Back to the incident. When getting to the point when you cannot feel your body anymore, sometimes I would feel this vibration. Slow and low. Felt good. Never thought anything of it. This was one of those times. It started as usual, but then didn't stop. It became very intense --and I started shaking in this loud,intense vibration. More than shaking, I cannot describe. The noise was loud -or the vibration. I went into what I thought was a void & felt very light, but had this feeling before. I was very awake and felt I was in my body (but different in a way I cannot explain). Anyway, went into the living room to see my husband. He was sitting in the living room watching TV with a magazine on his lap. I think I said something to him, but he didn't answer. He got up and went to the bathroom, then went to the mirror and started picking on something on his face. I don't remember saying anything to him at this point, but remember standing behind him and (think) I was in the mirror too. 

Suddenly I was jolted back to my body. I almost jumped up out of bed immediately,  I was feeling a mixture of fear, confusion, but intense excitement too! I knew something amazing just happened, but didn't understand exactly what. Anyway, I ran into the living room to tell my husband I reached a new level of meditation --with the slow realization I had just been in there with him. Now really confused, I got a little scared. I asked my husband if I was just in the living room, then the bathroom with him. He said no. But I was!  I told him I came in a few minutes ago, exactly what he was doing in the living room, and then in the bathroom. The look on his face. Realizing I had everything he did for about 5-10 minutes exact.  I could tell he was afraid, because he is very close-minded. He didn't understand my studies or meditation. For a while after, I remember being afraid to meditate. Now, I am a very spiritual person and only deep meditate sometimes.

Lucid dreams.  Knowing I am in a dream/place and sometimes being able to guide my dreams.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         Yes     I can feel spirits around me sometimes.
