Experience description:

I was about 7 years old at the time.  In the middle of the night I woke up and found that I was floating near the ceiling of my bedroom.  I was floating on my stomach, so I was parallel with my body which was lying in a single bed...except that I was looking down at my body and my body was looking up at me.  If we had been swimming my body would have been doing a back stroke and the crawl.  What struck me was the sensation that I was conscious and that this consciousness was the same rational sort that I experience when I am awake or right now for that matter.  I wasn't afraid.  I liked the feeling because I realized that I was experiencing a form of lightness that even at the happiest moment of my life I could never experience. 

I had the impression that to be awake was to have some sort of force pushing down on me and that when I wasn't in my body things were beautiful and light.  I stayed there for a while, floating, looking at myself and the way my body was positioned in the bed, not being afraid. I tried to make my body wake up but couldn't, then I very calmly decided that I should go back in my body. So I slowly started to float down into my body...still in the same position.  I was acutely aware of the fact that I was floating down slowly....I tried to speed things up but that didn't work...so I just kept on floating downwards.  During that time I continued to try to wake up my body which obviously didn't work.  The weird thing was when I finally got back in my body it was in a kissing position and it was at that point that I couldn't see but I was still aware of what was going on.  Then I felt like I was moving through pudding or something as my spirit cranked around 180 degrees in order to align myself with my body.  It happened rapidly enough and when I was properly in my eyes opened up and I saw that my hands and feet were in the same position as I had seen them from outside my body.  Then I just got up and walked down the hall...I'm not sure if I went to the bathroom or to see my mom or what.
