Experience description:

It was a normal day, I went to sleep about 2 pm in my room, and dreamt that I was dressed all in white, with a robe which covered me from the neck down to the feet. It was made of gauze, my hair was loose and there was a breeze, because I could see myself, my hair and the gauze of the gown moving, although I never felt the movement of the air. I was at the house where I grew up, in the yard at the back, and it was night. I began to float upwards, then started to fly, and when I looked down, I could see the whole area surrounding the house, its streets, its lights, and I began to fly higher and higher, until I could see the stars, one of which, very beautiful, was straight in front of me in the distance. I came nearer to it, and as I approached I felt peaceful and happy. I went on towards it until I entered into its light. Now I was in a tunnel of light and felt really happy. I continued my flight, and further on in, much further into the tunnel, with a bright and beautiful glow,  hands were waiting for me, open, beckoning  together, come, come, then remaining opened. I felt such happiness as I have never again felt, never again as much as in this beautiful dream, then I woke up, the telephone was ringing and my heart was beating very fast, so that when I answered, my fianc� who was calling me said: "What's the matter?" (I answered) "I was just having a lovely dream" - and I told him about it. He gave me some explanation, with a name for such things, I don't remember exactly what, but I have always remained in doubt as to what it was, what had happened to me, since if I was so happy and peaceful, why did I wake up with rapid palpitations?... Now that I read the accounts of other people, I realize that they have been through this as a result of being on the verge of dying, whereas I myself was just asleep. What I do remember is that at the time I wished to die, and was annoyed by that phone-call...

 

Era un d�a normal, me qued� dormida alrededor de las 2.00 p.m. en mi habitaci�n, me so�� vestida toda de blanco, con un vestido que me cubr�a desde mi cuello hasta los pies, y ten�a un tul, mi pelo estaba suelto y hab�a aire, porque me ve�a a m� misma, mi pelo y el tul del vestido se mov�an, pero nunca sent� el aire, estaba en la casa donde crec�, atr�s en la yarda, y era de noche. Empec� a flotar hacia arriba, despu�s empec� a volar y cuando miraba hacia abajo, mir� toda la colonia de mi casa, sus calles, sus luces, y empec� a volar cada vez m�s alto hasta ver las estrellas y una muy bonita estaba frente a m� lejos. Me acerqu� a ella y como iba acercandome, sent�a una trnaquilidad y felicidad. Me segu� acercando hasta que yo entr� en aquella luz. Ya estaba en un t�nel de luz y yo iba feliz. Segu� volando y all� adentro, muy adentro de ese t�nel, con una luz brillante y hermosa, hab�a unas manos esperando por m�, abiertas, a la vez haciendo un movimiento de ven, ven, y luego se quedaron abiertas. Yo sent�a una felicidad que nunca m�s he sentido, m�s que en ese sue�o hermoso, y entonces me despierto, el tel�fono so�aba y mi coraz�n estaba palpitando r�pidamente as� que cuando contest�, era mi novio, y me dijo: �Qu� tienes? Es que estaba so�ando algo muy bonito - y se lo cont�, y me explic� algo de un nombre que ten�an (esas cosas), no recuerdo ya, pero siempre me qued� con la duda de qu� hab�a sido, qu� me hab�a pasado, porque si ten�a tanta felicidad y tranquilidad, porqu� me despert� con palpitaciones r�pidas... Ya ahora que leo las historias de otras personas, me doy cuenta que ellos lo vivieron, porque estuvieron a punto de morir, y yo no, s�lo estaba dormida. Lo que recuerdo (es) que en aquel tiempo yo deseaba morir, y me enoj� por aquella llamada...

Yes, I was the house where I grew up as a child and the area or district around, all from above as if I had seen it before, and just as I saw it, it is, and as I went higher I could see the whole town where I grew up.

Did you have a sense of knowing special knowledge, universal order and/or purpose? Yes PUES YO ESTABA SOLA Y LE PEDIA A DIOS QUE ME LLEVARA CON EL Y YO CREO QUE POR ESO ME PASO ESO, TENIA PENSAMIENTOS DE SUICIDARME CON PASTILLAS PERO NUNCA TUVE EL VALOR O MAS BIEN LA COBARDIA DE SACARLA LA VUELTA A ALA VIDA COMPRENDI QUE NO ERA LA UNICA SOLA O QUE SUFRIA Y CREO QUE SO�E ESO PARA COMPRENDERLO Y DEJAR DE TENER PENSAMIENTOS NEGATIVOS.

Yes. The thing is, I was lonely, and asking God to take me to him, and I think that is why this happened to me, I had thoughts of suicide by taking pills, but I was never brave, or rather cowardly, enough to go through with it. When I came back, I understood that I was not the only lonely person, or the only one suffering, and I think I dreamt this in order to understand that and to stop having negative thoughts.

No. That is, what has happened is that sometimes when I think things, they happen to me later on, but this has been since childhood, such as when Papa fell into a coma and I asked God to grant him 3 years more and that is what happened, he woke up and then died 3 years later... in the same month, 3 years later.
