Experience Description

As I was asleep, I suddenly found myself moving very fast down a long curved tunnel. The tunnel itself was paved with small squares which lit up as I flew through it. I felt that I was ME but I was only spirit, no body. I was in awe but not afraid, I knew there would be light at the end of the tunnel. I said to my self 'WOW, this must mean that I am dead' Immediately, I stopped and then woke up. It was an amazing experience as was a dream I had a few days after. In my dream I saw myself with a giant angel who was removing my nail polish. It seems unusual since I never believed in angels, and this seemed silly. The angel was huge with enormous white wings, blond curly hair and giant feet in gold sandals. No words were spoken but it seemed so REAL, even though, in retrospect, it was ridiculous.
