I was
talking to people in a parked car while standing on a curb-less street. I could
see a car coming & realized in "slow motion" that it was going to hit the parked
car, I think I said "oh shit" when it hit. The bumper of the parked car caught
me behind the knees, flipped me on my back. I bounced on the back of my head
until the car stopped, about 3 feet from the railroad tracks. It was a hit &
run, the other driver was never found.
I was
seeing my life in reverse, going back to the womb & then it was like a
star-burst, a sensation of being almost in space. Then I thought I got up,
there was the ambulance & I was saying how I was okay & walking around.
I woke up
next in the emergency room, they were removing my clothes. I had said that I
told them at the scene that I was okay, they said that I just became conscious &
had been out the whole time.
My sense of
time was off, I thought it was 2 weeks before.

Experience was definitely real I wondered for awhile if my Mom was
