Right before I was to get married I was in bed one night asleep.  Suddenly I felt like I was rising up out of the bed, not lying down but in a sitting position.  I looked towards the end of my bed and saw my fiance’s deceased mother standing there. I had never met her but had seen many photographs of her.  Even though there were no words exchanged I feel as though were were communicating.  She smiled at me and nodded her head.  I believe what I was experiencing was astral projection and I know she was giving me her blessing.  I felt myself return to the bed and she was gone.
