Last night I was having trouble staying awake...well it was late...maybe midnight. I rather crashed. My (teenage) son went to bed I think soon after. He always closes his bedroom door; the shades are down on two windows but not the third (corner room; third is on 2nd outside wall). I might note there is a new moon coming and the bedroom is on the second floor and there are no street lights near.

So I'm drifting to sleep, a bit groggy, and he calls to me asking me to come there. Once a mother, always a mother? I drag myself up thinking he may be ill or something. I open the door and he starts talking...a little groggy himself...about a light over by the area where I'm standing, across from that third window. I don't have my glasses on so things are blurred for me anyway. (He also wears glasses). So I'm on the bed, looking toward the area where he saw the light. He said it was about the size of the window but in front of the dresser. I keep asking questions but I'm not sure what he saw. He said he stared at it for about 10 minutes before he called me and that it moved and changed a little. I don't think the 10 minutes was literal but means the effect lasted a little. I'm not really sure what happened but it obviously affected him somehow.  The area looks a little strangely lit to me, but I'm still not awake. But I don't see a big square of light either. I open the door more; light is always on in the bath across the hall. Why I didn't turn on the room light I do not know. But the reflections seem to glow more than usual. Did it look odd because it was or because I was only half awake without glasses?

So ..questions... in that in-between state, seeing light would mean what? He said it was the size of the window and I thought maybe he confused seeing the window with the space near it.  The window is partially obstructed with a clothes rack anyway, and he kept saying he saw it in front of the dresser, which is a few feet from the window. I tried to feel for associations with particular persons but I couldn't find any connection. Are there light forms on the other side that just bleed through sometimes? I didn't see te form but for some reason I felt edgy about it. Anyone have any similar experiences or thoughts on interpretation?

Tonight maybe I'll look for it. I know light in the physical can do strange things but I can't figure out a physical source. Maybe I'll tell him to talk to it, ask it a question,  if he sees it again.

Hi, my name is Greg, I am Lucy's son,
    I wondered about that because sometimes I pick up smells that remind me of close people who have died, for example a very close almost grandfather to me smoked cigars alot and some times I pick up that smell at odd times in extremely peculiar circumstances, such as walking through a busy intersection.

The only reason  I doubt the OBE possibility Is that I vividly remember being awake, and I remember checking to see if I could wiggle my toes. but on the other hand I usually get used to the dark and can usually discern objects in the room given approxamately 5 min. also I remember comparing the light I saw to the slivers of light that came through the shades and it was more like a consatnt glow rather than  the light that came through the shades.

Also I was wondering if I was supposed to feel anything, because the light never took a definite shape, and I never got any overwhelming emotions, so I can't even determine if it was human.

I'm new at this so I'm sorry the only way I can "discuss" this is to just sort of splatter my ideas on the canvas of the screen.

thank you,
Greg
