Just on the onset of sleep i felt very drifty. I love that, because i know i am about to slip into a peaceful sleep. For some reason though i was in dream state almost immediately. To top it all, i knew i was asleep but i was fully aware that i was, if that makes sense.
I found myself floating in 'mid-air'. There were clouds all around me. As i looked up at the sky, i could clearly see a number of 'spaceship type' craft travelling at high speed. They all travelled in formation, criss crossing space, and looked uniformly silver/white. They were very far away. As i scanned the sky i saw a great many of them, and pondered why nobody could see them on Earth, because i could see them so clearly.
I don't know what happened, but one moment i was floating in the air, and the next moment i found myself inside one of those 'ships'. There was a very benign looking person standing next to me. He looked tall, taller then me (I am nearly six foot). He had long blonde hair and was dressed entirely in a white long toga-type garment. He did tell me his name, but i can't remember it. He led me to a window which was curiously carved, much like the tip of a crystal...in fact i was sure that it was made of some type of crystal. It looked incredibly strong to me. As i looked through the window i saw the Earth. It was at least twice the size of the full moon viewed from Earth, so we must have covered a lot of distance. At no point was i aware of any sensation regarding travel or speed etc...neither was i perturbed or disturbed by the fact of were i was or who i was with.
The voice of this occupant simply popped into my head, and sounded oddly calm and comforting. He spoke of our planet and that we must look after it more...that there were difficult times ahead. He said that 'they' were here to assist us in that and that they have been here for a long time. He told me that i had my part to play, but for the Love of me i cannot remember what that part was...maybe i am not supposed to know until the time comes. I really cannot say. I remember thinking that i didn't want to leave the ship, that i didn't want to wake up.
He said that i was free to explore the ship (I did not see any instrumentation of any kind anywhere, or any technical stuff that i could recognise as having a function) and led me to walk some of it's corridors with him, until we came to a large chamber. He said that there was a person he wanted me to meet. He then turned away and left me to it. To my utter shock...and i find it difficult to put into words...i was met by my brother Peter who died four years previously. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but i suddenly experienced the most painful feeling of bereavement. It was almost unbearable. I didn't realise just how much i missed him until this moment. Peter told me that he didn't know how he got here, but that they wanted him to 'work' here on this ship. He said that he met quite a few that he recognised from somewhere but he didn't explain himself further. He kept on saying that this place was great and that i would love it. I felt so very sad to leave him.
Later, i met my 'first contact' one more time and i know that we talked for a while. Again i cannot recall the contents of our conversation with any degree of accuracy (i wish i could), and there seemed to be a modicum of familiarity, as if we had met before.
The scene simply winked out and i woke up in my bed. I suddenly realised that i had almost total recall of everything that took place. I also had that certain feeling that i was to see them again at some point. Whether i was supposed to remember this journey, or whether this was done by design, i have no way of knowing.
Anyway, i was asked by others to relate this experience, so this is the first time i wrote this down. This story is true and i do know what this must sound like to a great many people out there, and so feel free to believe or disbelieve according to your nature. I don't mind at all, as i don't need the approval of others.
