Experience Description

I remember flying out of my bedroom window. My mum told me that I fell, hitting my head on the rose bed and my body on concrete. I don't remember going to hospital, but I remember that I was looking down at myself. The room was lemon yellow; a chair was at the bottom right of the room. My bed was near the door to the left, I was looking at me from the top left corner of the room, ceiling height. I remember vividly that there was a toy monkey with plastic facial features, looked realistic and scary, but I have no phobia of monkeys to date. I recall looking down at my physical body, motionless in bed and stare at myself for at least two minutes or so. Then shortly afterwards my eyes opened and I looked around the room and everything was exactly the same. I didn't feel anything weird, I didn't feel scared, I was little and unsure what to make of it. I have told anyone about this apart from my husband.

I had a few nightmares a year after the event, but that was due to me sneakily watching a Tarzan film that had natives with scary masks, and imagined I saw a skull with spikes in the corner of my bedroom and believing that it was pulling my bedcovers. I screamed and ran to mum and dad’s bed. I don't know if that is relevant.
