I have not had the experience. I am wondering how young you were at the time.
The experience that I have, occured when I was very young. I would have thought such experiences would not be possible before the age of accountability, but in my case I believe I was 5 or 6, it was certainly before I was 8.
The first experience I saw a being of light, that looked like a lamb, but had a very angry expression and made it clear to me that he would destroy me. My mother was inactive LDS at the time and my father was not religious but had been raised in the Lutheran faith, so church was not a part of my life at the time. I was not offered glory or demanded to worship, there was just a clear message of hatred for me, emnity, and a promise that I would be destroyed. This happened while I was in bed, but was not a dream, but a vision. (Which is unusual in that most of my spiritual experiences are either in dreams or receiving revelation while meditating.)
The second experience was similar but also different. This time the form was of a snake and completly devoid of light. The serpent came down from the bottom of my bedroom curtain and began to suck the life out of me thru my nose and mouth. This probably was a month or two after the vision above. The details are less clearly remembered as this was all over 40 years ago. I did not get the same sense of hatred and malice, simply that it was occuring and that my life was being taken. I do not know how it was stopped, I just remember it suddenly being gone and being able to breath again.
