Experience Description

I was taken to a very nice garden-like place with fine grass to walk in. There were comfortable, cabin-like structures under a clear blue sky. I saw numerous other people who were friendly. I do not remember much of the conversations, but some were welcoming me. There was a team game while some of the people there were playing on a field.

I spoke with God and at one point my life seemed to play out very fast. I was praised for certain actions that were good. I had the feeling there was more I could do and it would be easy for me to do this. One person there in a joking way tried to trick me into thinking they were God. Then God played along and said if that were true than they would have known a very special event would happen in the future. I saw the trickster again at a later time and then the special event happened. It was a great miracle but I didn't really understand what it was and right after it, I knew who the true God was.

There was a decision about me at some point and it was that I would not stay here now. Needless to say, I was not please by that but also not upset. Everything was very clear and alive, more so than any dream I have ever had.

Then my experience ended and I began to recover slowly.
