Experience Description

I was having on and off high fever for the past two weeks. I went to see the doctor a week before but nothing happened. I was getting weaker day by day. On that particular day, I decided to go to another doctor. He gave me an injection and medication. Later that evening, I was feeling a bit better. After staying in my room for two weeks, I decided to go out to the night market near my campus. I was still weak, but I needed fresh air. My friend accompanied me and we walked to the night market. While my friend was busy choosing a shoe, my fingers started to tremble and I started to feel dizzy. That's when I fainted and fell to the road. Suddenly, I was floating and saw my friend screaming for help. That's when I saw my own body lying on the road. I couldn't believe my eyes and I started to scream, ‘am I dead,’ but nobody seemed to hear it. I saw crowds start gathering around my body. That's when I felt some sort of energy pulling me away from the crowd, sort of like sucking me out, then I turned myself and saw a bright light, too bright, but beautiful. I didn't know how to describe the light. I turned back to look at my body and at the same time I was floating away, towards the light, leaving the crowds at the roadside.

I was floating towards the light so fast. It was like a pathway with bright white light and along the pathway on both side there were colors. Some sort of colorful flowers. It was very beautiful. It felt like heaven. Then I started to cry. I told myself that I am too young to die. I don't want to die, not now. This is not the time for me yet. That's when I suddenly felt like I was being push away from the light. I was floating fast the opposite way and from above I could see my friend was holding my body and crying. It is like energy had pushed me back into my body and I woke up, sweating like hell. My friend told me that I fainted but I couldn't explain, even to myself, what actually happened that day.
