the other night the strangest thing happened. I was just lying there in bed, on the verge of falling asleep, when this pleasant sensation crept over me. I say 'crept' and not 'swept' because it was very slow. and interestingly enough when a good feeling 'washes over someone' it generally is described as starting from the head and working down to the toes, or generally moving in an vertical direction.
this was blatantly horizontal. I was lying with my hands folded upon my chest, and the feeling began in my left elbow (the "leftmost") and worked across to my right elbow. I scarcely know how to describe it. it was like that feeling of unlimited potential you get when you climb out of the car on a beautiful day, surrounded by friends and an open field with footballs, frisbees, or whatever your favorite game is. Nothing has happened yet, but you know it's about to. you get that 'tingly feeling' of excitement, and that's similar to how this felt, except it wasn't exciting. It didn't make me more awake, if anything it almost made me more tired.
I was consciously aware of the sensation from the moment I noticed it in my elbow. it took a full 10-15 seconds to cross my entire body, and stayed for 30 seconds to a minute.
I vaguely recall wondering if I was dead, or if I was wrong about there being no 'pre-trib' rapture, because I've read that near-death experiences (or post-eternity experiences) are supposed to be blissful. And peaceful. And I guess this was both of those. the thing that really makes it stand out in my mind isn't that it 'felt good', because we've all felt good for no apparent reason at some point or other. it mainly stood out in my mind because for me my 'feelings' or 'emotions' always seem to emanate from the pit of my stomach. they usually kind of radiate outward if it's positive energy and I feel like they spiral inward if it's negative. This moved from left to right. I tried googling up said sensation but I couldn't find anything that sounds exactly like what i'm talking about.
...with my luck, this is a little-known precursor to a stroke or something, so maybe it's good that I didn't find anything about it. Why ruin it?
