Tonight while going to bed I close my eyes and start feeling like I’m gonna phase out of body, a spiraling light forms in my minds eye and it almost looks like a hologram that is getting crystallized into something tangible for me to go through and this time no holds barred go right through this morphing colorful portal that looks like a spiral rectangular shape that doubles as doors or gateways through parallel dimensions…the portal turns into a tunnel of light and I’m sliding through them like a Hershey park water slide packed with technicolor and twists and turns that I could physically feel as movement when it stops I perceive myself to be upright, my astral body is stiff as a board and I sort of feel like a sentient tripod or something, my back was still on the bed it felt but I could also see and experience my conscious still moving locations but like it was normal movement, picture your hand as the body, fingers as the arms and legs, put your handout flat, the same way you can still move your hand without moving the fingers I was moving sort of like this like my consciousness was dragging the astral body with it but the astral body itself wasn’t moving and was stiff like I became a floating door or something I sense I’m not really in my room anymore and I started getting flashes of earth but on the ground level like I was flicking through channels of earth looking at different cities, towns and people when I ended up losing consciousness after this I find myself back in bed and could feel the astral slip back into the physical I fall asleep and end up in a dream, I’m pretty sure I was working in the dream and then after work I went out late at night for a walk or something, I see this car following me and they park about 30 to 50 ft away from me who is right outside an industrial warehouse for some reason i get the feeling I should leave and not find out what’s happening, I turn to my right and sprint down the side of the warehouse to cut off their view of me, I ran like 100ft in two seconds I turn back around to view my previous location and this tall man was already around the corner next to where I was and he leaned and looked at me, he had it have been like 7 feet tall bc I was now 100 fr away and he still was big as hell from where I was standing, I said yea fuck this and begin to clumsily fly away I just do it, wasn’t thinking about if I was dreaming or not I just knew I needed to get away and so I did, flew up to the street in front of the warehouse, which I thought was a normal project building at the time but as I’m flying away I can go though the walls and I accidentally went through to the houses in front on the next street, I’m going fast now so location gets a bit slippery but I was at one point viewing two or three different interiors of the houses trying to find a way to get out of town or find some place familiar, only back across the street to the warehouse and I finally see inside of it but a quick skim through like an old 90s music video with the camera running close to the ground at a fast speed, I see the inside of the building faster than it would’ve taken me to think about how it would look like so it couldn’t have been a made up location on my head I thought, It was dark dusty obviously still in use like not abandoned and had yellow beams and wires all around the place, these metal grates separated the two or three floors of the building and I get lost again so instead of flying in a circle I pull directly up and up then look down to get a better picture of where I’m at, this guy or whatever scared me so much I just kept flying until I snapped back into my body, my wife is walking up to go to the bathroom at the time and she catches me sort of jolt back awake the second I came back to the physical I got up in a cold sweat like doctor strange in the beginning of his second movie after the dream sequence Don’t know if it was really Detroit or Virginia or Pennsylvania but it felt like I was in a suburban neighborhood at night
