Experience description:

My husband and I both woke up with a jolt at the same time in the night.  We couldn't believe we had the same experience.  I was traveling down a black tunnel. I wasn't frightened. I knew where I was going to meet family who had passed on.  When I thought of my young child, I decided to come back to my body.

My husband said he saw his body below him and it was dark where he was.  He also said that there was a tunnel with a bright light at the end.  He wanted back in his body.

I know all near death experiences are usually just that, but my experience wasn't near death.  The feelings I had were the same.  At that time, neither I nor my husband had ever heard of NDE.
