Experience description:

My experience is rather singular in that I believe I lived through someone else�s life after death experience.  This is how my dream went:  I was in the back seat of a car, it was night-time and I had the impression of lying down.  I realized that there were two people up front, a man was driving and a woman was in the passenger seat, she was sleeping I think, but I couldn�t see their face.  They didn�t realize I was there, lying down in the back.  All of a sudden I felt the car falling into nothingness, and I felt that we were crashing (but I only felt like a simple observer of the scene, seen from the inside).  I looked at the passenger and saw her coming apart.  While one part of her remained lifeless in the car, the other part of her went through the car and  flew off into the night. I was still lying in the back of the car and looking out the window, but in doing so I also was leaving the car without realizing it.  I watched her from a distance, flying ever higher into the darkness.  That�s when I looked toward where she was going, it was towards a man who was at the threshold of a sort of luminous white entrance.  He seemed reassuring and was drawing her to him, towards the light.  That�s when I stopped looking at her and started trying to see the face of this man, who to  me only seemed a shadow, like when you look against the light.  So I looked away from him and looked behind him, into the light and I saw other pale shadows in the distance and I got the feeling that they were there to welcome the woman. 

And it�s at that moment, I think, that I no longer felt like an observer.  I suddenly felt drawn to this light which was at once so gentle and so powerful.  I wanted to go towards it and I started to rise and that�s when I felt an incredible love (which is difficult for me to describe) an urge to laugh without being able to do so, an inner well-being, a serenity which even in the happiest moments of my life I have only been able to barely scratch the surface.  I had the impression of returning to a familiar place and I was so happy, while at the same time being conscious of the human condition and really I wanted only one thing and that was to enter the light. 

But at the moment when I reached the threshold of the light I saw the shadow-man (to whom I�d no longer paid any attention whatsoever)  slam the door in my face and I woke up, my eyes wide open in my bed with the memory of that love still intense within me and such a powerful wave of  emotion; but already those feelings were (quickly) fading to a vague and bittersweet memory of a paradise lost.  Strangely I felt a sense of unease and of injustice towards the shadow-man, but I understood that my time had not come and that by slamming the door in my face he�d saved my life. 

Strangely I didn�t question the experience in the days following the dream, until the day when my father told me of the death of a friend of mine who was killed in a car crash.  It was night time, her boyfriend had fallen asleep at the wheel and they�d plunged into a ravine.  She was killed instantly, he was only slightly hurt but remained traumatized.
