MY FIRST OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE

Back in 1987, I was shot with a pellet rifle in my left eye on what was supposed to be a prank that of course went really, really wrong, and suffered a serious retinal detachment.

I underwent retinal laser surgery, subsequent checkups and several eye-drop treatments that took place for weeks.

On one of those first days of rest, and while in a dream state, I suddenly found myself -or what appeared to be me- floating in my bedroom! I was in complete shock and very confused (to say the least). From this aerial point of view, I was able to see my brother laying on his bed and, when I turned around, I was also able to see my physical me!

I was like, “what the hell is going on?”

“AM I DEAD?”

“I CAN’T BREAD FROM HERE!”

“WAIT, WHAT?… I CAN SEE BETTER NOW THAN FROM MY PHYSICAL EYES…!?”

So freaking confusing and frightening moment, I am not even sure how long this lasted but it felt like several minutes.
