Experience description:

It was around 11:30 PM on a Saturday night. I was driving down the interstate enjoying the light traffic out for a Saturday night.  I started to get a tingling feeling and at first thought that I had forgotten to take my blood pressure medicine. This went on a no more than a minute.  I then started to feel objects all around me, trying to close in but not to hurt me.  The objects were very blurry but I knew that it was people and didn't feel scared. Then I found that I was above myself or my physical body looking at ME still driving the truck and the forms were still surrounding me as I sat in the drivers seat, but now they were starting to become focused, more clear and sharper imaged.  As I drifted above myself the people surrounding me became crystal clear and I saw that it was men and women.  The men were dressed in black pants and white shirts and all the women had on a blue or gray dress like the early settlers wore and each had on a bonnet.  No one said anything, I didn't feel scared by them but as they became as clear as day I knew that I was about to die.  I told myself that it's probably a heart attack.  I don't remember if it was me sitting in the drivers seat driving at 70 miles an hour or me (floating above me) that said it but I said very forcefully I'M NOT READY TO GO.  I'll be ready after I dance with my granddaughter on her wedding day when she's 25 years old. I don't have a granddaughter so don't know why I said that, but when I did the people around me started to become unclear and fade away exactly the way they appeared when it all started.  When they disappeared I was back in my body and still driving the truck.  This seemed like it was over the course or 3 or 4 minutes and I try to tell myself it was probably only a few seconds.
