Experience description:

I found myself floating near the ceiling, looking down.  I saw that I was in my house, but not in my room.  I floated toward the hallway where the bedrooms were, and into my parents' bedroom, where I saw them sleeping.  I then got scared and wanted to go to my own room - where I would feel safe.  I floated down the hall into my room and saw myself laying in my bed.  I wanted to be back there, closed my eyes and focused on being in my bed.  I felt myself falling and then opened my eyes.  I was laying in my bed, and the bed was still shaking from the impact of me re-entering my body. 

I was very young when this occurred, and it was very brief.  But it was as real as anything else I've experienced in my life, and I still remember it vividly (over 25 years later).
