I was a child around the age of 3-4.  I remember waking up from what I called a 'dream' at the age.  I told my parents that grandma visited me and we played games, watched movies and sung songs.  I also described exactly what she was wearing upon her burial yet I never actually saw her or attended the funeral as a child or had little understanding of what had happened.  Now as an adult....I remember it better.  There was a feeling of innocent, utter bliss and happiness but with an underlying theme of power/strength shown through this light that surrounded everything.  I felt that I was there and we did stuff for a long long long time but it also felt like it lasted 2 seconds.  It really felt amazing.  I was there for maybe days but it only lasted 3-5 seconds as a dreamy type of theme.  The last thing I remember is my grandma floating up directly above the bed waving goodbye with a bright glow around her.  I sometimes feel that I am making it up but then realize that it wasn't a dream and the more I think about it as an adult today, the more information I can decipher and understand.  It truly is an odd yet wonderful experience. The area I was in was cloudy/light/white happy as I moved to scene to scene of us either singing/playing etc.  I only saw my dead grandma (depicted as an angel or spirit no wings though) and myself.  I wish I could go back!

Was the kind of experience difficult to express in words? Yes     As a child my family always told me about me recalling the experience and I myself had memories of it.  Not until I was able to look into it more as an adult did I realize what was happening.

At the time of this experience, was there an associated life threatening event?          Uncertain      I was a child and it was within the week my grandma died and had her funeral.

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?    The last third of the experience was the most upsetting and exciting. Remember, I may have experiences eternity so the feeling compared to time and in relation to what I felt is self contradicting.....I knew she was leaving but it was weird as she floated away I awoke from the dream.  I guess I was most aware and enlightened at the end of it and I am so thankful God gave me the chance to experience it.

How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal every day consciousness and alertness?    More consciousness and alertness than normal

If your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience was different from your normal every day consciousness and alertness, please explain:            The last third of the experience was the most upsetting and exciting.

Did your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision (in any aspect, such as clarity, field of vision, colors, brightness, depth perception degree of solidness/transparency of objects, etc.)?  Yes     Everything seemed more enhanced or real...like it was the most basic/truthful thing out there compared to real life.  It made this life seem fake/constructed versus the truth of the other world (cloudy/timelessness area I was in with bright white light/clouds gold softness backgrounds...Im trying my best to remember it all)

Did you see a light?           Yes     bright white light unexplainable around my grandma and in the surrounding environments.....you could feel the light it had its own character and emotion it portrayed.

Did you meet or see any other beings?           Yes     Just my grandma who had already died earlier in the week.  We just did stuff we used to do before she died...watched a movie, sang, played a board game, laughed.  I feel like there was more and it may be revealed to me as I go throughout life...remember I was only 3-4 so if I was shown something I may have not understood it.
