Experience description:

I should first begin by saying that I had a similar experience about 1 month before this one. It was uneventful because the only similarities were the sensations, I now believe in hindsight that I fought to stay in my body.

I had just laid down to go to sleep, probably about 10 minutes later I felt a very heavy feeling, and kind of tingly sensation. I first sat up, and was very aware of my surroundings, I could hear my wife breathing. I floated up, not very far, and was very frightened. I pushed my fears aside and decided (very lucidly) that I wanted to see what would happen. I floated through the walls and out to the back yard and consciously decided I wanted to go around the house to the front. My perception is that I flew very fast, rounded the corner to the front of the house, I saw my neighbors car, and both my vehicles in the driveway. I felt like I wasn't in control of how fast I was going, like if I kept going I could reach unlimited speeds. At this point I was frightened and went back in the house through the front wall as and back to my bedroom. I was frightened that I would not be able to get back to my body, and in fact had a difficult time doing so, I ended up on the floor, felt sick and even vomited a little. I than out of fear opened my eyes, (strange because I could see everything) and immediately woke up. I was very frightened. I began looking out the windows and everything was exactly like I saw it, the weather and the vehicles.
