Energy came over me

Hello everybody,

Is it correct to say "After the shower, I felt the energy come over me"?

Thank you

exie After the shower, I felt the energy come over me. Your use of the definite article "the" presupposes prior context referring to some particular energy. Absent this, "I felt [some] energy come over me" would be better.
