Experience description:

It was fasting month, Ramadan and I was at the last year of high school. Early morning before sunrise the whole family woke up to prepare for fasting and pray. While we were eating, I told my mom about the dream I just had. I told her I saw you in my dream to have a brain stroke. My mom laughed and told me this was just nonsense dream. In the morning I left to school and came back around lunch time. When I entered home, my mom was lying down in the yard. She had brain stroke. I called my dad and ambulance. Almost 3 months later, I dreamed she passed away and this time I knew this is for real. She passed away the day after while her eyes left open looking at me. During several years before and after this event, I had near OBE experiences but always I was so afraid. I once experienced being detached from my body and falling to it. For a long time I was experiencing dreams where the location, an unknown forest, was always the same. One time in the same forest I saw a waterfall where the water was moving upward. I always were so happy while remembering these dreams in the morning. The dreams and near OBE experiences declined and diminished when I married in 2005.
