Rachel B's Experience

Experience description:
I was asleep on a sleeper train travelling from Moscow to St. Petersburg. I fell asleep and when I awoke I was floating on the ceiling looking down at my body. I was particularly frightened as the ceiling was high and I was facing downwards and thought I would fall. I put my arms out in front of me and fell into my body on the bed. The experience only lasted a few seconds but has altered my ideas of life as I am now totally convinced we are not only our body. What was your level of consciousness and alertness during the experience? I was asleep and awoke to find myself out of my body.
