Back when I was about the age of 12, I was an altar boy at a Greek Orthodox church. On one particular Sunday, I was in the back of the altar standing somewhat out of sight while the priest gave his sermon. Out of nowhere, I was overcome with something very powerful; this is going to sound strange and it's very tough to explain, but I could literally "feel" the color white. In addition to this, everything I looked at appeared to have a heavy white haze, voices suddenly echoed and sounded as if I were underwater and I vaguely remember feeling weightless. One of the most vivid memories of that moment was a calm emotion... an extreme calmness that I had never experienced again in my life. This whole ordeal lasted roughly 10-15 seconds.
I'm now 22 and just last night, I relived the above experience in a dream and it's gotten me to thinking. As a kid, I was satisfied with passing the whole thing off as some spiritual occurrence that imbued me with secret powers or something, but there has got to be some kind of medical explanation for what happened.
edit: Just for reference, I've always been perfectly healthy with no allergies and no underlying ailments at all. Both parents are pretty healthy, and when I told them about this back then, both said they had never experienced anything like that.
