Experience description: 

I was driving down town with my friends.  I wasn't paying attention and I went through a red light.  Two cars slammed into me from the side. I hit my head on the steering wheel. Then I saw something bright. I looked up and saw a bright light and then I felt like I had no pain.   Then I was flying through a tunnel and I kept on seeing flash-backs of my life. So then I knew I was dead.  Then I was standing in a meadow. I looked around the meadow and someone was walking toward me.  When they reached me, I noticed that it was my grandma. She came up to me and I said to her, "where am I?" She answered, "you are in heaven, but you are not ready to die yet." I asked her if I would ever follow my dreams but she said she couldn't tell me and then she was gone.  I started to look for her. I could see flowers all over and animals where running but then it all started to fade away.  I found myself in the hospital. My mom said that I had died.  I told her the story and she believed me. That just happened two months ago. I got a new car
