Up until the year 2000 I had epileptic siezures regularly. Most times I would make my way to the toilet to avoid an accident, & if it was during the night go back to bed & because of the medication I was on would go back to sleep without any problems.
One early morning, circa 1995 something different happen to me. I was going back to bed and must have gone to sleep while walking back to my room & do not sleep walk.
I half woke (my eyes were still closed) But knew I was walking and someone was leading me somewhere. I could feel a hand in my left hand & fine gravel under my feet. I thought maybe one of my daughters was with me.
After crossing a road which always has traffic on it and walking up a street I had not gone up before, I awoke fully, saw it was still dark and reasonably quiet but not completely still as there were some cars around so I assumed it was early hours in the morning. I was alone & was walking on fine gravel in bare feet. I kept walking for a short while in the same direction, no reason to turn around yet. When I could make out the road in front of me (Unley Road) I thought the one behind me was my street. I turned around and immediately the land marks were recogniseable. I started to walk home and then realised that I was only wearing nightclothes so ran before some one saw me.
I checked out the name of the street on my way home and I had not been up it before then.
When I got home one of my girls opened the front door to let me in. Nothing more was said so I went to back to bed till morning.
Next morning I had to check I hadn’t been dreaming. First thing I did was check the soles of my feet. They were almost black. And I also went up to check the street's name & it was as I remember.
I didn't even think then why I had not stubbed my toes at all while walking outside especially on the curbs or walked into anything, like a tree or stobie pole/sign post. I had no bruises etc.
Psalm 91: 11 - 12. Explains that I was looked after.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
I can remember this event today just as if it happened yesterday & it keeps me believing when I recall it.
