My first remembered experience

AS I have issues sleeping through the night I sleep in a separate room from my wife. Last night was no different in that respect. I also have the T.V on and set the timer to turn it off after a 2 hour period. I was still somewhat awake when the set switched off. I felt myself starting to slumber into sleep. Now I am not one who remembers dreams. I have been that way since I was a child and that is a story for a different day. Anyway, I started to hear,something,voices I thought maybe coming from my wife’s T.V. I opened my eyes to see if her set was on and didn’t see the usual glow of light coming from her room,so I was pretty sure the set was off. I started to fall back to sleep,but still I was hearing something,voices but not. i cannot explain it. The next thing I became aware of was some kind of vehicle and a portal which stared into the blackness of space,no stars. Again during this I thought I was dreaming. The next thing I became aware of was amber colored symbols flashing in my head,and not long after that I had the sensation I was floating, I mean really floating with a turn to position my head the right way in my bed. As soon as I was in bed I forced, I mean I really had to force my eyes to open, I also tried to call out to my wife because I wasn’t feeling right. I tried with all my might and I was very aware of this and it did not feel like a dream at all,but all I could get out was “honey” in a barely audible to myself raspy whisper. I then fell asleep. I awoke keenly aware of the dream,experience,whatever, and was also puzzled that my left leg was draped over the back of the day bed. I am normally a fetal position side sleeper and usually wake in that position. I was also puzzled of how vividly I remembered a dream when I hadn’t remembered one since I was 7 years old. Anyway I had my coffee and did my normal morning stuff. My wife woke later and asked if I had turned my T.V back on after it had went off,as she had noticed flashes of light coming from the room. I told her that no I had not turned it back on. Then told her of what I experienced. I am not one to make things up,hallucinate, nor am I schizophrenic,bi-polar. I am just a normal guy living in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan And I had some kind of experience I cannot explain. What’s more while in thought about this during the day I have remembered evenings in the past were I had awoken not feeling right and trying to call my wife and unable to do so. Beyond that I have no other recollections of dreams and or experiences other than when I was 7. And I had always chalked that up to a dream. When I was 7 one night I had problems sleeping and snuck into the living room and watched an old black and white movie,I’m not sure what the name was but it had vampires in it. When I did go down to go to sleep. I felt a presence in my room all the rest of the night and long into the morning. My parents came at noon to rustle me out of bed. I had always thought that it was just a dream but now after this experience I’m not so sure. Another interesting thing I have noticed during the day today. I am transposing many letters today,something I normally don’t do. Is this connected? I just want to talk about this. I felt no need for fear at all through all this,just confusion. Anyway that’s what I experienced and nobody will ever be able to tell me it was a dream.
