I love the rhyme scheme in the poem and the photo is a perfect match. Your notes dud a great job at truly explaining what kind of experience this was about.

Have a great night!
Mike

Hello, Chrissy, :)

I have a friend who says she does this all the time. And when I was a child I remember being right under the ceiling as I lay in bed. It was a very odd feeling, but I wasn't scared. Then I fell asleep and that was it. Did you ever see the movie Insidious? Good movie about astral projection! I loved it.

Don't let anyone tell you that you were just imagining. I don't think you were. No one has scientific proof or not, anyhow. But there are a lot of stories of people in hospitals knowing what the doctor did to try to save their lives and what they wore, what was said, etc. :P

Hey, take care,
Nome

    Hi Nome, Thank you so much for your review and yes it is an odd feeling and unexplainable so best to just go with it, No I must try and see this movie it sounds interesting. Cheers Christine

Astral dimension is what they say awaits many of us and just as you described. What a beautiful experience and hope indeed it is what the afterlife brings as we fly from one dimension to another.Which at times one can experience until one opens one eye. An unusual piece, and like your open mind.

This work has reached the exceptional level

Out of this world! I give you six stars based on poetic talent, all ' 'the good stuff' and your sense of humour. It flowed really well, and it was a delightful change of subject.
Hugs, Trisha

This is a lovely verse about feeling like you're leaving your body at night.
I've heard of people doing this and I have tried it over the years, but never succeeded.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

I am so sorry, Christine, but you are not a bit off the planet. Astral travelling is real. I experienced it myself, although I didn't have nearly the wealth of travel that you encountered. I just flew a bit around. That was enough for me.

You remind me of how interesting it was when I first encountered Astral projection. Maybe I'll dabble a bit in it again.

    Hi Susan, Thanks for reading this one too and glad to talk to a fellow traveler I maybe exaggerated a little pit with poetic licence but I did fly one night and it was amazing. Yes again one day Cheers Christine

Hi Chrissy, your poem is very good and reads well. Both the rhyme in abcb form and the meter, rhythm are excellent. A very good biographical poem. I also used to fly in my dreams as a child, but it was usually because I was being chased - not a pleasant dream like yours. Interesting author notes. Keep going, LOL, the end of the month is near. Warm regards Dorothy xx

I really like the energy and spirit of this poem. It gives me a sense that I am free and flying as well. It's a beautiful poem that flows well and makes me feel better just by reading it.

What a fantastic poem, Christine. Astral traveling from memory likely holds many sensory images to share with those of us with a poetic bent.

Good job on keeping up with the NaPo too!

Gloria
