I just wanted to tell you about a profound experience I had at the age of ten. I am now a 43 year old RN, and my outlook on life has changed ever since this experience.

One extremely cold winter night in Texas I got ready for bed and entered my bedroom. At that time we had what was called a 'space-heater' which was gas of course. It was so cold in my bedroom that I turned up the heater to full blast before climbing into bed. 

Sometime during the night I 'woke up' to find myself against the ceiling. I was literally floating and I could see myself from the chest up. I remember feeling no discomfort, such as heat or cold, just a nice peaceful feeling. While I was wondering why I was able to float against the ceiling, I looked down and saw myself sleeping on my back. This was strange enough, but the strangest part was how I thought of myself on the bed. I thought of myself in the third-person. I remember distinctly thinking, "She is running out of air" and "There is no oxygen in this room." I did not think this in a state of panic, more like a peaceful concern for the body. 

The next thing I knew, I was hurling toward my body. I woke up when I slammed back into it. I jumped up, gasping for air, and raised all the windows in my room. That blast of cold air was great!!! 

I stood there for several minutes, just taking deep breaths of air. I then turned down the heater real low and opened the door to my bedroom. I told my family about this the next morning, but they just said that I was dreaming. I knew better because it felt like no dream I had ever had before and the fact that I couldn't hardly breathe when I woke up in my body. 

This experience changed my life, because up to that point in my life, I was very unsure of life after death. I also was suddenly not afraid of dying either. 

Though I did not see any other beings during this event and never saw a tunnel, I did seem to change mentally / spiritually afterwards. It was shortly after this experience that I became known in my family for having visions that came true. I believe that I 'tapped in' to something that made me somewhat clairvoyant. I also would occasionally see deceased loved ones. I begin to think of God as a more loving being than he was portrayed by my Southern Baptist upbringing. I became more open to other religious ideas, such as reincarnation and the idea of multiple levels of heaven.
