My experience happened while living in the university dorms. It was a sunny Saturday morning in February of 1992. Because it was Saturday I slept in until around 10:30 a.m. I awoke still sleepy but decided to take a shower.
My roommate had gone home the day before for the weekend. Around noon I figured since I didn't have anything to do I might as well go back to bed. The curtains were open and the sun rays scattered all over the room. Above my head was the window from wall to wall, and beyond the foot of the bed was the only door to the hallway.
I was not particularly tired, but somehow I slept.
For an instant everything was black, and a strange sensation ran all over my body. Then I felt something like a warm wind coming out of my body from head to toe. Next thing I knew I was standing at the foot of the bed. I turned around and saw my body in the bed. How could I be standing when I knew I was sleeping and looking at my body?. My eyes where closed and my body restless. But what was I? Happiness! Whatever I was I felt the happiness all over me. "I did it!" I started to say.
I did not know what to do and was just walking inside the room withouttouching anything but aware of my sorroundings. I felt very very big, extremely light and full of energy. I imagine that I went back to my body because I do not remember black or white as if time did not exist.
After a while I was out again. I could still see my restless body in the bed, but I was conscious and awake. I went and sat by the heater under the window looking at the door. At that moment a young lady came throught the door. She did not open the door but came through the wood. I do not remeber seeing her face, but shewas wearing a long bright white dress, and her hair was also white and long down to her heels. She carried a white telephone. She walked to the desk, moved the papers lying there, unplugged the regular phone and plugged her white phone into the jack. Then she started talking very calmly as if time did not exist.
I did not know what was happening. She seemed unaware of my presence. I then started to get nervous, because in real life (out of this "dream") I was waiting for a phone call! I do not remember hearing or understanding her conversation. Some minutes passed and then she went out the same way she had come in. She never looked at me and I never moved from were I was sitting.
As soon as she was gone I wanted to go back to my material body and wake up to the real world but I could not, for a little ugly thing or animal (like a gremlin) came in the same way the lady had. He or it stood about three feet from the door and kept looking at me. Then it started rotating and laughing and I felt that it was making fun of me. There was no reaction on my part. I was not afraid afraid, but in fact felt strong and powerful. (I want to make clear I had not watched any horror movies.)
As soon as he stopped rotating he went away. I decided again to go back to my body and wake up but I could not. I was trying to open my eyes with my non-physical hands but my eyes kept closing. It was very strange. I saw my hands opening my material eyes, and it was as if an extra force was helping me.
I then lay down my material body but with my non-physical eyes open. Everything around me was clear. Suddenly there was a young men sitting by my body's feet. How and when did he appear? It's hard to describe, but I never really saw him but rather perceived his presence. I knew that he was young, kind of handsome and had a good build. I could feel his eyes staring at me with love and passion. He did not represent anything malicious, for the only thing that I felt was love coming out of him, a love that i had never felt before or since.
I felt his warm hand touching my legs, then his body over my body. I knew this man from someplace. It wasas if he was my soulmate. There was no need to talk for we knew what the other one wanted. We were two bodies but our thoughts, likes and needs were one.. We made love. It was unique. (Despite being in the university I had never made love with anyone before. These feelings were entirely new to me).
We became one. His kisses...I still remember them. I do not know what happened then. I went back to sleep, everything was black again. I wanted to wake up. I again got up from my sleep. This time I moved little objects but they returned to their original place. I then tried to get out of the room. I went through the door without opening it and knocked at my friend Sandra's door. She opened the door. She was a wearing a light pink jogging suit.
I begged her to come to my room and wake me up because I had tried and failed. She looked at me and laughed. "Come on, do not joke. I can see you," she said. She also said "Come on, let's go and get something to eat." I said no and she said that then she was going to get something and would bring it upstairs and eat in my room. Then she turned to the elevator, the room keys in her hand, and walked away.
Our rooms were in the corner near the fire exit. I went through these doors and downstairs. I was not walking on the floor, I was floating. As I went down, my head was first and my feet dragged behind. Outside the building it was dark and everything was different. It looked like a war zone with burned building and garbage everywhere but no human bodies.
Somebody was in danger. I knew it. I tried to fly but could not get my body above 10 or 15 feet.
Then I was in my room again inside my material body, and I was moving like I was fighting with someone. Now I only saw black and could hear the laughing of my neighbors. This laughter was real, not part of the dream, but I still could not openmy eyes. Then I heard a knock on the door.
Within a minute my material body finally awoke and got out of bed and opened the door. I was not sleepy, but I felt numb and dizzy. It wasSandra. She was carrying a tray of food for she had just come from the cafeteria. The moment I saw her, I said three times "Thank you!"
She did not understand why I was thanking her and looked at me like I was being silly. I then started thinking that everything that had just past was real. I could still feel the warm wind in by body, the young man's arms aroundme and his kisses, the flying of my non-physical body.
I felt very happy.
The sun's rays were softer now. It was now between three and four in the afternoon. Though I had just awakend, I felt tired as if I had been doing alot of exercise. Some minutes passed and then the phone rang, It was the phone call that I had been waiting for.
I wrote down my dream in Spanish two days after I dreamed it. The original write up has more details and descriptions, but I do not know them in English.
