I just let it happen and I felt myself start to rise. I found this quite scary so I made an effort to kick my legs, and was back in my body again. I was still quite relaxed so when I heard the buzzing noise again, this time I let myself rise up. I felt like I was floating and was aware that I was about a foot higher than the bed. I couldn't really see anything because it was very dark. I became frightened again, so this time when I kicked my legs, I woke myself up too much for it to happen again.
