Experience Description

I was visiting my son for his birthday. Right after a good meal with wine, I felt a bit full. So, I went to the bathroom. When I came back towards the kitchen, I noticed that a baseball game was playing on the TV. I went back to sit in the kitchen, where my son joined me. I was feeling really dizzy, probably from the indigestion caused by eating too much fatty food. I was sitting in the kitchen trying not to be sick, when I passed out.

As an aside, so my experience makes sense. At the time, I had learned about reincarnation. I was not convinced of its truth yet, but if it was true - I really preferred this life to be the last incarnation.

All of a sudden, I was in the baseball stadium. I was hovering between the receiver and the referee near the marble. I was trying to make a choice between which one of them I would be in my next lifetime. Then I realized who I was; in this lifetime. This experience reminded me of an old TV program, Quantum Leap. In the show, a scientist had found a way to leap into other people’s bodies for a while. This concept frightened me. I thought that I just died and was going straight into somebody else's life. This meant I would be staying in an earthly life for many more years to come. I didn’t want that! I said 'No, I was at my son's house.'

I woke up right away and vomited. I was ok after that.
