5am New Years Day

Are you going to tell them about me? Okay, okay yes. What should I call you? My name is Jennifer and as you know, I am your inner voice. They are going to think I'm psychotic. You're not. You can tell them I'm your feminine side. Someone to give you advice and ask you questions. Okay, Jennifer. There, I said your name. Good morning Graham. What did you start thinking about when you woke up today? I immediately thought about writing. I think you should tell them why you named your blog, Out of Body. Should I just start telling the story? Yes.

It was over 30 years ago. I woke up, or so I thought, and I was looking out the window, but it was like the window was the floor. I looked out and then down at the yard. It was spring and the grass was growing and I could see a bee on a dandelion and as I watched the bee, I realized that looking out the window like this was strange. Next, my consciousness was suddenly swept up to the ceiling. I hovered there for quite awhile and realized that I was looking down at myself laying in bed and as soon as I realized this I was rushed back into my body with a thump and I woke up. A thump? I don't know how else to describe it. I felt a physical impact as I woke up.

Have you experienced this again? Yes, you remember that time that I was flying over Hillside Avenue in my dreams. Yes, I remember that and some of the other times, as well. It doesn't happen very often. Why is that? Are you afraid that the magical part of your life will take over? Sometimes I am afraid of that, yes.
