Experience description:

As soon as I became hypnotized, I started to feel my 'soul' float outside of my body.  It moved first outside of the dorm room, with my feeling a small bump as my soul burst into molecules outside the walls of the dorm room!  It began floating in the air among flower pedals and rays of sunshine.  It was warm and glorious!  Such a wonderful, great feeling!  I would live in that feeling forever, if possible!  I floated for a while, looking around at university buildings and then nature, until I sensed a very, very, very warm feeling and a sucking action toward a tunnel.  Inside was both glowing yellow-white very warm and cooler blue curves.  My molecules gently floated at first, sucked in and started to swirl, faster and faster toward the tunnel's small center.  I sensed excitement, not fear.  Also, curiosity about as I got closer to what seemed as hanging cloth with warmer and cooler reflective.  Next to cloth, it seemed there were maybe humans or some sort figures.  But, at this point, I was being distracted by the girls in the room who were getting upset.  Telling me that I needed to stop being hypnotized.  Needed to 'Come back!'  I was scaring them.  During the entire time I was hypnotized, I was describing my experience to them.  Talking.  I remember hearing the girl who hypnotized me say, 'No, you can't touch her.  My dad told me that.'  So, they kept telling me, 'Wake up!  Come back!'  So, I did.  I came back and felt sad.  The next day, when I walked around the university campus, I looked at the nearby buildings where my molecules had floated around.  I looked them, all so differently.  I realized my body is simply molecules.  Simply sand.  I am part of the world.  I have no boundaries.  I've never had a brain or other injury.  At that time, I had never tried any drug or even drank alcohol!  I don't know why this happened to me.  I want to know why!  I want to talk to other people who have had this same experience, not related to death, injury or with drugs!  I feel there is a reason that people like me have this kind of experience, to tell people.
