(On the above evening I again experienced a feeling of enlargement in parts of my body. This was very similar to my experience of July 9,1965, at Oswego State University College in Oswego, NY. See page 131. Both experiences seem to be related to sound, and both took place in the small hours of the night after I had been sleeping for some time, then awakened. In each case Jane slept on beside me.

(In a drowsy state, I lay on my left side with my arms loosely crossed over my chest. I began to feel the enlargement first in my hands, then across my chest.

The results didn’t surpass those of July 9; they were just a bit different.

(The sensation was very pleasant and not at all frightening. This time I had no feeling of enlargement in my face, or in my body below the diaphragm. The sensation lasted very definitely for several minutes, giving me plenty of time to explore it, then gradually dwindled away.
