Experience description:

I was sleeping, approximately at 5 a.m., and my 2 year old (at that time)  granddaughter was in our bed, sleeping between me and my wife.

I began to listen a very beautiful and unknown music, but very melodious. At the same time that I was listening I started to feel Peace, relaxed, and a sense of well-being as I never felt before. Something amazing!

I thought that because I never felt anything like that, despite my age, I could be CROSSING from this life to another one, in other words, that I was Dying, but the feeling was not of death itself but a PASSAGE for a much more pleasant situation.

Then I thought, that I had a son still finishing his engineer degree and he will need me a lot, and in my granddaughter that was with me in bed, so I decided to make an effort, like when you have a nightmare, to stop that feeling. I succeeded to wake up at 3rd or 4th attempt.
