My husband and I have been married 26 years and we have lived in our home 15 years. Last night is the first time I ever saw this or anything like this.
We sleep in a king size bed in total darkness. We live in the country so no bright outdoor lights, passing traffic, etc. We sleep with the bedroom door locked, blinds down and curtains closed. We have two bedside lamps. A tall dark wooden solid headboard. Dark black comforter with tropic flower pattern, white sheets and white pillow cases. We have digital clock with red tinted digits on his bedside table. We have a cordless phone that is plugged in at night on his bedside table. At the foot of the bed on the tall dresser against the wall we have a 23 inch TV. We have a ceiling fan over the bed with three light kit. And an adjoining bathroom with the door left open. I share all this detail because I am aware that electronic items pull electricity even when not turned on if still plugged in, and don't know if it could be a factor.
I woke in middle of night about 3 am for no particular reason and looked toward my husband. He was turned toward me and was in the middle of the bed. I remember having a feeling like my husband needed me to have more tenderness and compassion for him, like I should take better care of him or pay more attention to him. (we have a pretty normal marriage. as all we have had difficult times but we have overcome it all and are very committed to our marriage. just want to eliminate that factor.)
As the thought finished passing through my mind, I saw a light around my husband. It was not a flashlight. It was more like a soft diffused white light shining around him from his waist up around his head. It stayed lit for a second or two and went off. Odd, but maybe I didn't really see that, I thought.
Still looking at him, neither he or I moved, I saw the light again, come on, be around him and go off. Now this got my attention.
So I really was looking and it happen once again. All three times it was pretty identical and all happen with a short span of time... maybe a minute or so.
After that I started to move my hands around him in the air to see if maybe a motion light had turned on. (at one time I had this kind of light that I used to read at night. It was an led light that could be turned on or it could be set to being a motion light, or turned off. This light has been missing but since I was used to having a motion light before it was the first explanation that popped into my head.
Moving my arms around my husband in the bed, I woke up my husband who was asking me all types of questions, "are you OK, what are you doing?, is something wrong" I didn't answer immediately because I didn't want to disturb the light or the chance of figuring out what it was. I guess I am an inquisitive person. I sat up, looked all around, over my husband and finally said, "I saw something." What? he asked.
At first I didn't want to say, kind of a weird happening... but finally I told him. we couldn't figure it out or come up with an explanation so we went to sleep.
I have remembered it a few time during this day, and wonder what happen.
In thinking about it, the light was not shining down from a source, nor was it emitting light throughout the room or even toward me. I saw nothing but the light around him. The soft white light was only about a few inches off the surface of my husband's upper body, and it did go around his head but not up to the headboard.
It was not a flash, or a split second. It stayed a basic solid soft white light for 1-2 seconds and then went out.
It was more like a light was coming from or radiating out of my husband, but that is not the impression I had at night, that is an afterthought since I didn't see a source of light or a beam down toward him. My nighttime impression was a light was coming on and going off... It did not frighten me or worry me. It was just like... that is odd, really odd.
Since I spoke to him right after, and was cognitive of his questioning, I know I was not dreaming or in a sleep state.
Any possible scientific explanation?
