So, 3 nights ago, I had a very weird experience. It wouldn't be the first, but it's the first of this particular kind.

To be honest, I don't recall what I dreaming AT ALL, but I suddenly jolted straight up in bed. There was a voice in my head that told to sit up, so I did. The voice also said, "tilt your head up to the ceiling and take a breath". For whatever reason, I wasn't breathing. So I tilted my head up and took a deep breath. At that moment, I felt a vibration deep in my abdomen. Somehow, I knew this was "energy". At this point, I was not asleep. I was fully aware of what was happening, although still groggy. Anxious to go back to sleep, I laid back down and closed my eyes, but I didn't want to forget what happened.

In one instant, I knew that I had just switched bodies, like in "dimensions". Don't ask me how I know, because I don't know. It was an awareness I had in that semi-awake state, like it was no big deal, and there was "someone" helping me out, making sure my consciousness made the transition OK. The first "breath" sealed the deal, I guess....at least, that's the understanding I had when I experienced it.

Now, the strange thing is that this "dream" follows on the tail of another I had two nights before this. I was traveling through space a light speed and zoomed up on a small, dark planet-oid, which I somehow knew was Pluto. I was looking at Pluto. Then the number 11 flashed across my view and the word "INRI", which then morphed into my first name. I then saw an image of Christ on the cross, but when I looked closer, it was me. How weird is that???

Eh, don't judge me. All I'm doing is trying to understand. I didn't read or watch anything unusual before bed, so there wasn't anything influencing this. I will add that I have very vivid dreams quite regularly. However, I've had an unusual dry spell for a few weeks...I couldn't remember anything I dreamed AT ALL. That is VERY unlike me! So these dreams were in a large group of dreams that happened right after this "dry spell".

Oh, and when I woke up, nothing seemed different. So if I am in a different dimension, it's virtually identical.

Thoughts? And please, no jokes or jabs. I'm older, don't drink, don't do drugs, and don't have time to entertain nonsense, really. I posted to see if anyone out there might have some insight to help me out. These experiences have been weighing heavily on me the past few days, and are as vivid as what I had for supper.

Vivid dreams are amazing, in the least. That is a pretty interesting one you had from the sounds of it. I have only had vivid dreams twice, and they are for sure worth sharing. I don't have any answers, maybe you should ask a few questions to that subconscious mind of yours. It will give you a better response than any of us will be able to. Happy future dreaming.

That happens to me when I have an Asthma attack in my sleep (actually the only time I ever have one IS in my sleep), but I wake up the same way, I have this nagging feeling that it's my soul coming back to my body because I was close to death, but something always wakes me and forces (like a CPR feeling) Air down into my lungs and it goes into my lungs but some of it goes through to my stomache. Oh and no, no one Physically is giving me CPR I just get air forced down my throat and my head gets tilted back the very same way the OP explains,except I don't sit up; but instead of it talking to me it forces my head back and forces air into me (like a person would if they were giving CPR). I know there is physically nobody there, because I am fully awakened from the pressure on my chest (From the attack) before it happens. My Cats are always there too, never fails when I am going to have an attack the cats sleep with me...we've got black mold no money to clean it and can't move...thanks to the backing up of our pipes from the park's pipes and they won't clean up from their stupid nasty mess so I gotta close off the back room of the house or I am sure to have an attack.
Wonder when it will start affecting the kids?
