Experience Description

The first 40 years of my life, I experienced the same dream/nightmare multiple times a month. It was always the same vision and memory. It took me 40 years to understand what I saw. Then the dream/nightmare never happened again. I think I truly understand what a saw, it was very real for me as I had a very strong eye-witness feeling at the time.

Let me explain what I saw. Before I was born, I felt myself in my mother's uterus and it was a very comfortable place. My first memory was a warmth and a lovely feeling as an unborn. Somehow I understood that it was time for the natural childbirth. At that moment, I had an unpleasant feeling because I had a choice to make. I knew the birth channel was the way to go but it was blocked somehow. Later, I understood that the umbilical cord around my neck. The other choice was to give up and not be born. At that moment, I felt a strong need to be born. I knew the birth channel was located bottom right.

Simultaneously, three creatures appeared on my left upper side. I did not recognize them, but could tell they were non-human and tall. I had only contact with the creature in the middle. I had a very pleasant feeling of comfort when it communicated with me. The communication was telepathic and ended with a kind and convincing head-nod. The vision disappeared and I was born, completely blue-colored due lack of oxygen.

I tried to find a creature that comes close to what I experienced. The best I could find are the tall, supreme beings. They did not have human skin, but glowed with a high, orange-light energy. It was not scary at all and I felt like they were in control.

After 40 years and speaking to my parents and wife, I feel it was a moment of choice concerning my new life or imminent death. I am still very happy that I was given the opportunity to life. I met and married the most beautiful, smart, and sweet wife you can imagine and she gave birth to our 4 sweet children.
