I was sitting and watching from the shadows. a woman materialized from out of nowhere right before my eyes. She was dressed from a past era. I asked her who she was. She said " I am you." She did not look like me but I knew it was me, from a different dimension.  Somehow I found out that she had been murdered. The others knew who murdered her but could not prove it because her body disappeared and they needed her blood sample to prove the murder. Then she vanished. Because she and I were one, they had brought me into this other dimension to extract blood from me( because it would be identical).

This was not a simple thing to do. The time had to be perfect and the planetary system aligned. It had to be done very specifically. I found myself on a roof top of a glorious and ornate building, with other beings. It was evening and the sky was incredibly filled with stars. Each seem to have its own distinguished brightness. Each person was sitting and faced strategically facing the stars. They were silent, waiting.  I could see in the sky that there was something, not sure what, but something that had contact with the people on the roof. They were communicating. No spoken language, all telepathic. I understood! I find myself in a great hall. All made of marble, very ornate.

A man appears, very handsome, I am drawn to him. He came toward me then backed away. He said (telepathically) "it is not possible." I was saddened. He was sad too but knowing we were from 2 different dimensions made contact impossible. In the center hall stood only a table. It too was marble. I approached the table. There was an intricate design embedded in the table. It was a language I have never seen. I knew that I must lay my hands flat on the table. I looked up. I could see through a roof opening that the stars the moon and the planets were all in line . The night was crystal-clear. From behind me someone laid a cube shape substance on the table as soon as it touched the table it began to have a molecular change. As it did, my fingers absorbed the liquid rapidly. I knew at that moment that my blood sample was being transferred.  This was the moment that all had awaited. The woman appeared again. I begged her to let me go with her, with them. My heart was throbbing with desire to be with them. She looked at me and spoke with her mind, "it is not possible".  The others around me, whom I had come to love like they were apart of my very being, began to disappear.

During the night of this experience, I awoke myself 3 times, out of breath, because of the intensity. Each time I would fall back into a deep sleep and return immediately to the other dimension.
