This was during the 7th lunar month, when spirits return to Earth from hell for a month. I decided to sleep in front of the balcony in the living room as I was going to watch some late-night tv. In the middle of my sleep, I dreamt that I was looking out the balcony that night. In the dream, I was wearing the same clothes I wore when I went to sleep. I looked at the foot of the opposite block of flats where offerings were mostly burnt during this period and saw a number of chinese elderly. They were taking the offerings. One of them, an old man, even had a dog with him. I thought it was too real to be a dream. I wasn’t scared at all because the spirits didn’t look…well, ghostly.

When I turned back, I saw myself sleeping! I was wearing the same clothes, juz lying on the mattress I had laid out, with my mouth wide open, snoring away. I was puzzled. Juz then, i woke up. I looked at the time; it was 10 minutes after 4 in the morning. I thought about what i had juz dreamt about, because it felt so real. To this day, I am thoroughly convinced I had an out-of-body experience. But…hey, our bodies are juz vehicles for our spirits to move about while we are alive right? Maybe that explains why i wasn’t scared. My soul was juz seeing other souls.
