Experience description:

Hello I am Fatimeh. I am 17 and I am from Iran. I've always loved God a lot and felt his kindness within my soul. He has always helped me. I've always dreamt unusual dreams. For example, before my grandmother's death I dreamt that she was inside a grave and was very uncomfortable. I wanted to tell her this but I was worried that I would frighten her. I told my mother and my mother said that she must have sinned and that she must cleanse her sin before she died. I even remember that after her death some other people had seen her in a grave in their dreams. Another time, because I'm Muslim I saw the third Imam Hussain in my dream. He gave me three walnuts. A month later I went to Karbala on a pilgrimage. What I want to say is I'm not sure if it was a dream or if my soul left my body but the fact is that it was real, I have no doubt. But anyway when people sleep their soul leaves their body, but my experience whatever it was or even if it was my imagination, is not a lie and is completely true. That night that my soul was flying it was a beautiful place, it was a path surrounded by beautiful greenery and a small lake and beautiful flowers. I don't know how to describe the beauty of it. There was a cool breeze and the atmosphere was peaceful and I was flying towards the path. I was totally free and without any sorrow. I wanted to know where the path led. In my heart I asked where does this path lead and in my unconscious mind I found the answer; the path led to heaven. I wanted to go and reach the destination and I was flying in the air and there was no impediment. I wanted to hurry and get to the path but a voice inside I don't know if it was a voice or just came to me, the voice said please go back. Now is not the time. Now is not your time. When I heard that my eyes opened and I saw myself within my body.

سلام من فاطمه ام 17 سالمه و اهل ایران هستم من همیشه خدا رو خیلی دوست داشتم و محبتشرو درونم احساس کردم اون هم همیشه کمکم کرده من همیشه خوابهای متفاوتی می دیدم مثلا قبل از مرگ مادربزرگم خواب دیدم که اون داخل قبر قرار داره و خیلی نا آرومه دلم میخواست اینو بهش بگم ولی ترسیدن ناراحت بشه به مادرم گفتم و مادرم گفت که حتما اون یه گناه انجام داده که قبل مرگش باید پاک بشه حتی یادمه بعد از مرگ چند نفر دیگه هم داخل قبر اونا رو خواب دیدم یه بار هم چون مسلمان هستم امام سوممون امام حسین ع رو خواب دیدم و ایشون به من سه عدد گردو دادند و من چند ماه بعدش تونستم برم کربلا زیارتشون

یه شب خواب بودم ولی این چیزی که میخوام بگم هنوز هم مطمعن نیستم که خواب بود یا اینکه واقعا روحم از بونم خارج شد اما در درست بودنش هیچ تردیدی ندارم ولی خب آدم وقتی هم که میخوابه روحش از بدنش خارج میشه ولی خب این تجربه من هرچی که بود توهم ویا دروغنیست و کاملا صحت داره اون شب دیدم که روحم داره پرواز میکنه یه جای خیلی قشنگ بود یه جاده وجود داشته که اطرافش همه سبزه های قشنگ یه دریاچه کوچیک و گل های زیبا بود نمیدونم چطور زیباییش رو توصیف کنم یه نسیم خنک میومد خیلی فضای ارامشبخشی بود من دیدم دارم پرواز میکنم و به سمت اون جاده پیش می رفتم کاملا ازاد و رها بودم و هیچ غمی نداشتم میخواستم بدونم اون جاده به کجا میره توی دلم گفتم این جاده کجا میره و توی ضمیر ناخودآگاهم جوابش رو دریافت کردم اون جاده میره به بهشت میخواستم برم و به مقصد برسم اما همین که روی هوا پروازدمیکردم و هیچ محدودیتی برام نبود و میخواستم که سریع برم و به مقصد اون جاده برسم یه دفعه  یه صدایی درونم گفت یا از بیرون اومد نمیدونمچطور بود فقط بهم القا شد که نه الان وقتش نیست لطفا برگرد الان زمان تو نیست و تا همین که اینو شنیدم چشام باز شد و خودمو توی جسمم دیدم
