For me, dreams are so elusive.  I wake with one on the edge of remembering, try to grasp it and it slips away from me, like  trying to hold the wind.  So when I have a strong dream, with physical feelings that stay with me on waking, I tend to take notice.  Last night I had one of those.  This is what I wrote immediately on waking:

Powerful ascension dream.  I had been left behind for eternitys.  I finally heard the call; people see the spaceship and I hear the music calling me up.  I saw my loved ones being left behind.  They saw me lifting up and understood I had to go.  One in particular, an old woman in black, struggled over to say goodbye - I reached down to hold her hand.  Our goodbye was the most beautiful thing.  She saw me turn into a radiant angel.  I felt myself lifting up.  The end of my time on earth was so beautiful yet sad.

What was so strong about this dream was the actual bodily feelings I remember.  First there was the ache of longing because I had been left behind "for eternitys".  Then there was the feeling of lifting up - I really felt myself floating upwards and had a strong sensation of looking down on the faces below.  The woman in black is a strange one.  I can see her clearly now, like a Portuguese widow in black - not known to me personally, yet strangely familiar.  She was like a grandmother figure and I remember she walked badly with a stick, yet "rushed" over to me when she saw me rising up so she would be in time to hold my hand and say goodbye.  It was very touching and emotional.  Then there was me turning into a "radiant angel".  I can see it now, my body becoming transparant with flickering colours like spreading oil on a puddle - I felt so light.  I was becoming beauty and merging with beauty - a feeling of oneness and peace.  All in all, and uplifting dream.  I would appreciate any comments or interpretations.  My husband said it sounded like an out of body experience but I have no previous experiences to judge this by.
