I became more and more afraid. The desire to leave that
state grew exponentially. All of my attempts to return to my
body brought no result. Frightened and scared, I sat on the
bed like a figurine. Suddenly, out of the silence, I heard
steps in the room. But I couldn't see anybody. The fear grew
worse and worse. I began to scream at that invisible man
wandering in my room, bidding him to stay away from me. I
then asked the question, "Who is he and what does he want
here, and why can't I see him?" I got an answer: "Don't be
afraid, this is all normal". He appeared a moment later,
standing beside my bed. He was about 6 feet tall and a little

The young man abruptly ran towards the corner of the
house in front of us. Entering through its wall, he said that it
was time for him to return, as his friend was due to arrive. He
disappeared. I stood in same place for some time, watching
people pass me by. I didn't know how to get back to my
room, because the place from which we entered the street
turned out to be a wall. What a bad break, how was I to go
through the wall? I closed my eyes thought about my room,
and recited, "whatever will be, will be," stepped forward, and
found myself on my bed.
Sweeping my eyes over the room, I discovered that
nothing had changed in it. The sun shone into it just as it had
before. Breathing in a sigh of relief and closing my eyes in
