EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION

It felt like I had been awakened by a very bad experience and I did not understand what was going on. I felt like I was floating looking down from inside the car ,there was a little boy in the backseat, a woman holding a little baby crying in the passenger seat and a man driving. He was very angry arguing with the woman. The Man then stopped the car and the woman got out with the baby. I noticed it was hot, they were on a dirt road with large trees; a steep bank on one side of the road and a sharp drop off on the other that led to a river.
