Experience description:

I was 12 or 13 at the time with my biological mother, step father and 3 step brothers. Our financial circumstances were very poor. My stepfather was an alcoholic. My mother was extremely violent and mentally unstable. She was extremely violent and both physically and emotionally abusive towards me. My brothers got the bulk of emotional caring and warmth. I was mostly sidelined. My maternal grandmother was my only source of comfort. I cant remember the events of the day only that I "woke up" from being asleep. I was not ill at all. I was not emotionally distressed at that point but I was completely and totally drained and exhausted. I was in an environment that was non-ending. There was not point of reference to begin or end. It was not black but more grey. There were 100's of beings with me standing together. They were human form but had no physical human body. I remember feeling very calm safe and comfortable. I had an extreme sense of being in a natural state. I asked to go with them because I simply couldn't keep on living with my family. I desperately wanted to die and be with these beings. They said no, I have a life to live still I cant go with them yet but that I will be ok. There was a central figure of authority but there was also an equality with everyone. I accepted this and then simply woke up the next morning. These being were not of a specific sex and I did not know anyone. Death was never discussed but was regarded as a shocking taboo. You don't speak about it.
