Experience Description

I was a passenger asleep in a car that my friend was driving, he fell asleep at the wheel and veered over to the opposite side of the road, we hit another car head on.

I don't remember any of the above as I was asleep, however after this happened I remember walking into a grey zone, another plane that was like a duplicate of this Earth. I wondered were my friend was. Although I couldn't see him, I knew he definitely was not on this plane - it was just a knowing from somewhere I can't explain. I felt lost and confused it was hazy and I was walking through bush, trees - just wandering. It was misty grey, foggy almost.

I was not afraid but neither joyful, just confused and dreamy. All of a sudden, a firm father like voice told me 'You must go back, you cannot stay here!' It was not an evil voice just firm, as I was the type of person that would likely not listen to a softer tone. This voice I listened to and remember almost instantly becoming present again in my body, but it was only my head, near where some would call the third eye area that I was present, like my soul wanted to just sit there because my injuries were so bad. I was looking down with no knowledge of time, space or identity; it was just nothing, no feeling and looking at someone else's body. My body made a weak moan and my soul I think it must have been was wondering where it came from because it was so loud in the head area where I or we sat, very strange experience.
