Inner Paths to Outer Space

Yesterday I had a severe headache, which is not uncommon in the first trimester. Since I am unable to take medicine, I tried natural remedies until I went to sleep, assuming I would be cured when I woke up.

After getting up to pee for the third time around 4:30am, I had a hard time getting back to sleep and my headache was still at full force. I decided to eat some cereal, and lay back down and try to leave my body with a request to be healed of this headache.

Around 6:30 I observed my body falling asleep and I maintained my consciousness:

I feel myself sinking into the bed and the early tingling sensations of electricity curling through my cells. I encourage this to happen and peak through my real eyelids to see how light out it is. It's as bright as day and I feel very safe. The thought crosses my mind, "What if aliens come and take me away?" immediately my 'request' created the comical image of thousands (THOUSANDS) of different kinds of alien and gnome creatures walking from one wall, past my bed grunting, and then through the other wall. Because of the hilarity of the joke, I just watch amused and remain unafraid. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and morph into one another.

I decide while these strange beings march beside my bed it wouldn't be a bad time to request to be healed from this headache. Without words, I send my hope to be healed outward, and before I even stop I begin to feel a tremendously soothing energy, whooshing all around and through my head. I even feel it washing down into my neck where my muscles are tense and in pain. It feels like a vibration, the most unobtrusive and sweet vibration you can imagine, and it took away the headache.

Finally, just one alien stands beside my bed and just watches me. This is your typical gray alien creature, and yet I still remain unafraid. I begin floating out of my body, wondering if he is taking me to his spaceship. I feel unattached to him and free of constraints, so I just soar into the sky feeling wonderful. I plow straight into outer space like a madwoman, and once I have reached a destination far enough away from Earth, I merely stop and float.

I come across a very small spacecraft. It looks American! Or at least, Earthly, as it has blue digital numbers that I can see from outside the craft. It's the shape of a thimble and probably could only hold 3 people. I float toward it, curiously, and find a window to peer into. When I find it, instead of peering into it, I gasp at my own, pregnant reflection. I mouth something to myself, but I can't remember what I said. At some point I remember thinking to myself, "If anyone in that spaceship could actually see me they'd probably wonder how I could ever survive out here, naked in space." And I feel like superwoman.

Because I didn't want to wake up yet because I thought it would be too early, I projected myself into a lucid dream with ease and woke up around 7:50, cured from the horrible headache and unsurprised.

...and grateful.
