Exploring Inner Space – Jane Dunlap
Perhaps half an hour after Dr Davidson had made me comfortable on the davenport, covered me with a blanket and handed me a sleep shade, I noticed that the familiar Second Symphony of Brahms then being played had taken on exaggerated and overwhelming beauty.

Although I was aware of breathing deeply and yawning repeatedly, the marvellous feelings of being weightless, boneless and bodiless persisted through most of the day. At all times I was as free from the fear of falling as would be a bit of thistledown. Being cushioned on air and caressed by the arms of space caused glorious sensations amounting to ecstasy
