Experience Description

I’ve always had a memory of this experience, but didn’t know where it came from. I never knew this happened until I was 28 years old when I told my mother. As a baby, I had a memory of being at the edge of a tunnel. I was using my right hand to play with the bright light. Looking inside the tunnel, I saw three men to the left. They were chatting happily and looking over at me now and again, but never worried. I don’t remember which order the events happened in, but I vividly remember seeing hell which was extremely disturbing. I saw my mother crying outside of the hospital door, with a male doctor or nurse holding me over his arm. He was injecting me in the bottom with several innoculations.

When I was 28 years old, I told my mother this memory. She told me that when I was about a month old, I drowned while she was bathing me. To her recollection, she was washing me over her arm in a tiny bath, a few drops went into my mouth and I aspirated. I instantly started foaming at the mouth; turned blueish purple and went stiff. She said it had been about 15 minutes and I was still foaming at the mouth. She said she’s never seen that much foam come out of anyone and it didn’t seem real. At the time the city was closed and the ambulances weren’t going through the city. A neighbor called the hospital and after telling them, 'the baby is dying' they finally decided to come get me.

I remember floating above her after deciding to come back and feeling the weight of this. I saw what it would do to her if I wouldn’t have woken up. I saw my future and my children. I have brown eyes and my husband has green eyes and I knew we’d have children with blue eyes and blonde hair.

My mother won’t share any other memories from that event. I’ve tried asking her if she remembered sitting on a chair outside of the door of the hospital while I was inside. But she’s refusing to talk about it.

When I was older, I saw an angel. I asked him what the purpose of life was. He laughed and sent me the information to my brain and then told me he had to take it back. I would only find out as I was going through life. I’ve had awful dreams my entire life and paralyzing dreams so I’m not sure how this all ties in, but this experience made me feel incredibly loved and it was not anything like a dream.
