Experience description:

I live in a dorm at college. I got into bed like every normal night, and I fell asleep, I was dreaming and my parents were in my dream and they told me that they were sorry but that I had to die.  I saw a quick flash of them and me laying down near flowers maybe a funeral.  Suddenly I ended up in a plane that crashed into a NY building and right before the crash I was so scared.  Slowly I started to die, I told myself in my head this is it I am dying, while I slowly started to die I could feel no pain it was very peaceful, my spirit struggled with my body for a couple of minutes then gave up, my body started to float up to a smoky white cloud and I saw white everywhere. 

Here I met another being of light, and saw so much light everywhere, I followed this other being up further up and talked to them like they were my best friend however I did not know them.  Then I finally found myself surrounded by many others, they were all dead but they were all my friends some how automatically.  I did not know any of them. I was in a wonderful place, and I was in no pain, it was extremely happy, more than I have ever felt in real life.  In this place you could do whatever you want nothing was bad.  As I looked around there were clouds and light blue like the sky and the only other thing was a swimming pool. While I was there part of the reason I was so happy was because all of my questions on earth have been answered.  I thought to myself " Wow, what people on earth think of heaven was right"

I wanted to Not go back to earth but communicate with the people there and tell them to not fear death cause it is wonderful, but I could not talk to them.  There was no time in this place. I remember starting to explore, Then I was standing in front of a much higher being which had taken some human form not fully, they had a big smile, and I looked into their eyes and they were pastel yellow, I realized this is god! then more joyous feelings than ever came over me I tried to touch him.  He did not speak. 

Then I continued to enjoy my new life, I was in the pool and talking to all of the other beings that I did not know. All of a sudden i heard from a voice that my best friend and my boyfriend killed themselves and were being punished i wanted to go to them. I remember leaving the room going down a little.  I saw them both suffering and it was cause i was dead, so i wished that i could fix everything. Then the dorm fire alarm started to go off i woke up abruptly to the loud buzzing. In a sort of shock i said to myself i am alive.  It was only a dream.
