It was a sunny day. We were in a kindergarten, which was located at the roof of the building. It was breakfast break time. We were playing and my cousin told me that I can fly. I stayed in my place thinking while my two cousins and my brother went away and I climbed the wall and jumped. While I was falling, I saw a very fast movie for what I did at that time. After I hit the ground, I didn't feel anything then suddenly I saw myself falling down in a tortuous well. It was dark and I couldn't see anything but I was able to hear other voices. Some voices were laughing, crying, or speaking. Some of them were falling faster than me. It was frightening and I was trying to find anything to catch. I moved falling for a while. It was a long well, and then I exited from the well to find myself standing at the beginning of a tunnel. There was someone who exited with me but it disappeared. I stayed at my place thinking what to do. It was a long tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, there was a doorway without a door. Outside this door, a very bright light was shining the tunnel. There was nothing to hear or to see. It was just me inside this tunnel and that light. I thought to go back. I looked back and saw darkness I said no way. I thought to stay in my place but did not know for how long I would be staying - I said to myself, 'There is no other way. It is better to go to that life than to stay here. Maybe I will find someone or anything.' I started moving slowly until I reached the middle of the tunnel and everything gone.There is another thing I would like to add. I had remembered something about my past life. The vision of my past life is not clear enough but I remembered that I was in a very dark place. There was nothing to see. I was able to hear voices and I was able to see a light coming from a far but I was unable to reach it. There were no feeling of time. It was a quiet place. The darkness was everywhere. I had all my feelings with all my senses. I was able to move around but I said it is better to stay in a place where you can hear voices; it is better that to go afar. Someone came from the light and said there is an empty place so I start to move to reach that light, but someone was faster than me so I said next time I will be faster. This time I stayed a longer time than the first one then someone came and said there is an empty place so I start moving until I reached the light. The light surrounded me and then I found myself in a very narrow place. After a while, I start pushing to get out of this place. That explains why babies push their mother's stomach. It is an inconvenient place, and then I came out and started crying. I started crying from the light and from the noise, which were unusual things in the place that I come from. The baby can remember his past life for a very short time after birth and it's gone after that. If someone experienced a very dead injury he or she may remember something.

The second or the third day in the middle of the night, I heard voices. When I woke up, I saw four people, three men and one woman came to the room. They were wearing white clothes and they came to me and said don't worry we are here to treat you. Then one of them asked the woman to check if there was someone coming. She checked and said no one there and stayed in her place. The three men put their hands on me and start to turn around me. When I woke up in the morning, I told my mum that I want to go to the bath. She wanted to go with me; I told her that I will go by myself. She discovered that I was able to see. She ran and called the doctor and the doctor and everyone there was just surprised. Those people treated me as well. They brought back my sight. Now everyone sees my CT-scan he don't know how I am still alive. It is an amazing thing that happened to me.
