Experience Description

I was given too much gas in the dentist’s office, died, and floated up above my body. I was about three feet above. I could look down with complete clarity at the dentist and see the top of his head, back of his head, looking into my mouth. Then, I floated down the hallway of the office, in the opposite direction, of where my body was being taken. They took my body to the recovery room, where they found me dead, not breathing with no heartbeat. The nurses and doctor worked on recovery, with my mom screaming with anxiety. I was in a state of curiosity. I was trying to comprehend what was happening, but only for a few minutes. I knew I had died and was glad it was over with. It was awful to die. To die was terrible, but as soon as I let go, I was left with peace. I decided to explore the area, went outside, came back in, and then met my real parents, who explained that my mom in life was a nice person, but not my real mom. I knew, without any doubt, what they were saying was completely true; because I could feel the intense love and affection they had for me. I could feel a direct link to them and they were both like guardian angels, advising me of my situation, and giving me advice on what to do. But, I did not take their advice, because I knew, that my mom on earth would suffer throughout her life without me, so I felt it necessary to save her from that fate and return, even if she was not my real mom. I felt the pain she would have to go thru, knowing I died would ruin her life and I felt I would be the one to suffer more. By returning to this life and giving up an opportunity to go to a better life, as my real parents had told me was available and waiting for me.

I immediately felt complete love from them. They explained to me that they were my real mom and dad and that my mom in life was a very nice person, but not my real mom. I knew from their love and warmth of presence that they were in fact my mom and dad. They told me it was time to go with them to another life, a better life, with more opportunity, but listening to my mom screaming in the dental room, I felt so sorry for her and asked my real mom and dad if I could continue in this life. They told me that the life would be hard and not happy, but I told them, I would rather go back and not see her suffer. They asked me if I was sure, and I said, yes.
