Experience Description

We always went to my Mother's and help prepare holiday dinner. I was standing against the door going into the kitchen, just talking and laughing with everyone in the kitchen. I saw myself on the other side of the room sitting on the steps, peeling potatoes and talking and laughing, but I could not hear what I was saying and all I could do was point at myself. Of course, everyone laughed and said yea right, but I could not explain it. I didn't know why or how. Only how strange I felt at the time. Everyone laughed it off and I though no more about it until about hour later. I was actually sitting on the steps peeling potatoes, and it was as if I felt a shock, jolt and I realized that where I was, what I had seen an hour earlier. It just happened.
