Exciting Out of Body Experience

While I was living in Fayetteville, NC, out on a peninsula that opened into sort of an island, I had an unusual experience one day while taking a shower.  I was in the shower, just enjoying the water pelting down on the top of my head.  I just kept standing under the water and letting it just continue to hit me on the top of my head and relaxing and enjoying it when suddenly I sailed out of my body.  One minute I was in the shower, the next, I was looking down on my rapidly receding roof.  From my viewpoint, it seemed as if I was a rocket ship sailing away from the ground.  I was not moving sideways but straight up.  I was looking down on my house out on the end of the peninsula and it and the peninsula were getting smaller and smaller.  I was surprised and confused. Then I went into a cloud.  It was like being in a dense fog.  I could feel the coolness and the dampness on my arms.  Suddenly I popped out of the top of the cloud into the bright sunlight.  When I did, I realized what was happening; I was having an out of body experience. I gave a whoop of joy waiting to see where I was going next. And then, bam, I was right back in the shower again with the water pounding me on the top of my head.  Many times over the years since, I have tried to repeat the experience while standing under the shower with no success.  I don’t know what made that particular occasion in the shower so unique.  Maybe it was to show me that, like Shakespeare said, “there is more to heaven and hell than dreamt of in your philosophy, brave Horatio.”
