Dream state?

 I want to hang on to every minute and every feeling associated with the dream - 

yet I know I won't.

 

I woke up wondering if I had died; 

curious if I was 'coming back' to my current reality 

or if I would be allowed to continue in the wonderful state I had just experienced.

 

The closest description I can come to is that 

I remembered what it was to not be embodied; 

to be part mist, part dust of the air, 

to have a full understanding and sense of me and who I was 

and yet be in a form that required absolutely no effort of movement 

or expenditure of energy; 

just being, 

while traveling through time and space on a molecular level; 

a part of everything that exists and that I saw, 

passing through everything and knowing a oneness with it all. 

The colors and landscapes with intensity on another level.

 

It felt like a state that existed for hours; 

gorgeous pain free and existence bending hours; 

it wasn't until I came back into my body and noticed the heaviness and pain in my legs 

that I realized I was leaving one state and entering a physical one once again. 

 

It was both heartbreaking and hopeful. 

I wondered if I had had a near death experience in my sleep .

.. and found myself wishing that that was indeed what dying would be like.

 

All I can say is that if you ever hear I've died in my sleep... 

be happy for me.

If it's anything like this, it was glorious.
