Davide D Probable NDE

Experience Description

In Ivrea (Torino), there is the house of my mother's grandparents. My grandfather was dead and I had never known him. Near this house, there is a big meadow that ends with a little step street and at the end of it there is a walk. In my dream (but dream because I remember about it until today), I was in the meadow. Next to me, there was my grandfather, Mario, holding my hand.

The meadow was a bright green as it was shining its own light. We walk throughout the meadow and arrive up to the climb, I am happy and feeling good to be with my grandfather .I would go with him. He lifts my hand and says to me that it isn't yet the moment. At the top of the climb, there was a strong but non-blinding light. Then, he (my grandfather) sets out throughout the climb and I wake up. Since that moment, I don't remember anymore, but my mother said me that I told her, 'Mother, I've seen grandfather Mario. I would have gone with him but he didn't want.' A few moments later, the doctor came and said that I was lucky to be alive.
