Well Lisa, this is good news.  And this particular experience of yours sounds like mine: quick, but I am conscious of what is happenig, and wake up exhilirated.  Ah!  Here's a question and I don't it doesn't sound too weird:  Has anyone experimented with trying to contact someone who has just died?  I never have an agenda, really, in my little experiences and I'm wondering if I should attempt some sort of "Take me to _______."
