Experience description:

I was lying on my bed my mother was on the chair at the side of the bed speaking with my aunt and I had to ask her permission to go to my aunt's house so I could be with the kids on the block as I was waiting I put my hands behind my head I propped a knee over my leg as it was bent and I just stared at the ceiling waiting getting tired of waiting to ask her if I could go when suddenly after staring at the ceiling what seemed forever and at that time it was 1960 there was still wallpaper on the ceiling at that time which was printed I was staring at the patterns waiting when suddenly out of nowhere I felt myself like from my stomach being pushed through the bed I can imagine the whole thing happening as it was the next time I looked around I was in the corner of the room at the ceiling it was near a window I had looked over at my mother who was still on the phone I saw my body on the bed and I decided to look out the window as it was something I wanted to do to see if this was real yes it was my yard I recognized it so I looked over again at my body in that position waiting for my mother to get off the phone and that quick I realized like in shock I'm not in my body I flew back into my body that quick to this day I cannot explain it it did not scare me the only part that scared me was the being hovering in the ceiling looking down and seeing my body but I knew I was not in it

They hear me tell them my dreams and have sometimes some of them come true

 What emotions did you experience following your experience? None at the time because I was a child I did not question it not at all I always felt like I was different this everything I have been through in my life has only proven there is something different about me I have learned I am an empath and that is a horrible thing to be most of the time people will will take your feelings and drain you dry until you are so sick and tired and can't even get up anymore you have to avoid these negative people

 What was the best and worst part of your experience?     I am grateful that I had the experience because from the time I was a child a tiny child my first memory was such a weird memory I was a baby in a crib how can I remember back that far it was something I did I can't even say I've reached into my diaper and I remember smearing something all over the wall and I remember my mother yelling at me and I even understood her but all I knew was I was uncomfortable that was the only time I remembered anything younger than seven being odd

 Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience? At the time they had something called the I guess national enquirer examiner I don't know those rags and I was a reader and I was positive at that time that people leave their bodies when they die did I have a near-death experience that's all I could think about now this was going on like two years later I'm still thinking about it did I have a near-death experience did something happen did an angel save me did something save me, it's hard when you're a child you can't talk to people they think you're making up stories but I'm 67 it has been with me every day of my life I don't dwell on it I just ask myself was I graced by God to show that there is a solo that can leave your body is there a silver cord somewhere if I had wandered too far would that silver cord broke and I would die yes I did research I had to for the sanity I needed to wonder if it was a near-death experience or just an experience

 Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?       No     

Did the questions asked and information you provided accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?           Yes    Without a doubt all these years I've searched everywhere I've asked people what in the world did I go through I knew it was an obe but I did not know why or if it was a near-death experience as I do have a familial aortic ascending aneurysm I also have an abdominal aneurysm I have every sickness known to man and they're all come from my family my mother had them all I even passed the aneurysm on to my son, I had to verify all this with the doctors that being that I am a thin person not a new beast person that the aneurysms the atherosclerosis I have was not the reason from being overweight but a familial thing

 Please offer any suggestions you may have to improve this questionnaire.       No I think you hit all the bases in everything I wanted to know I would certainly love to meet people who were children and had the same thing and it didn't scare them at all they just went about their business like it was nothing and that the only scaring part of the whole thing was knowing you were separated from your body how can that be?
