Experience Description

Hi,

I am a musician, guitar player. My experience was as follows:

The 21 of June is the music festival in France, one of the nicest moments when one is a musician. We had played with the group at a wedding, some kilometers from Paris, and around 3:00 o’clock in the morning, we had to all get back home.

After having found a place for all in the cars, I found myself in the front of my friend guitarist P. We were with six persons in the car. P. the guitarist was the driver; I was a passenger in front with my girlfriend between my legs because there were no other places to go back to Paris at that moment.

In the back of my car were three of my friends that also were musicians. We had played and had a good time. We drove on a small country road where there were trees on both sides, and then I fell asleep.

I woke up by a strange sound not frightening but just strange, a muffled sound. At that moment, I understood that I was inside a car that had stopped and was on fire. Police explained later that we had been hit from behind by another car that drove at one hundred and eighty kilometers an hour. But at that moment, I knew nothing about this. The sound of the fire woke me and I understood that I was trapped in a car that was on fire. There was no other noise in the car except the noise of the flames I saw nobody except my girlfriend who was unconscious. As she was on my lap, she had probably sheltered me from the impact, though I had several broken ribs and a big black eye.

When I came to myself I extinguished her hair that was burning, then in despair I tried to break my side window, but without success. The window was half-open and I slid both hands through the opening to try to open it, but to no avail. At that precise moment in all the confusion I heard my own voice coming from inside that told me:

'Ivan you are going to die being burned alive in a road accident.' This voice was so clear and precise and so lucid that I knew that this was the end of the road for me. This voice was so calm and clear, all the opposite of the state that I was in, a state of panic and total incomprehension. This voice made me understand that it was the end and I couldn’t but listen to it at such a moment. From that moment on the struggle was useless, no need to break windows or doors to try to escape from this inferno; I had given up, accepted to go and die.

At that moment when I turned slowly to the left that I saw the same vision of the road that I had seen when I fell asleep, before the accident. Only that on the road I now saw five tubes or lines placed like five points on a dice of a light. They were so white and so shining, but didn’t hurt the eyes. The tubes were so sweet and warm coming towards me so that when I could almost touch these luminous spots I turned toward them without any hesitation, like an emergency exit there close to my hands, and suddenly I found myself several meters from this car in flames that took away my friends. I found I had escaped from this inferno physically.
