I was about eight years old when this happened. I remember that when I was a little girl I always had nightmares. Well one night I guess one of those nightmares was just too real for me.

I remember that I saw my self drifting away I was in a bright foggy tunnel and at the end of the tunnel I saw my self, was pale and my mother was crying and trying to holding me up, my brother was facing me and he was slapping me, trying to get me to wake up.

I felt this force pushing me out of the tunnel but there were many hands of different colors all over the tunnel trying to pull me back in and there were voices yelling "take me, take me" and then all of a sudden I felt this pain in the center of my body between my chest and stomac. I felt this force pulling me hard out of the tunnel. I felt my body pulling apart and then I felt my body so heavy and weak.

I could hear my mother sobbing and crying out my name and for me to wake up. I felt someone shoving me and I opened my eyes and there in front of me was my brother. I felt sleepy and tired, my mother told me that I had fainted and that they could not get me to wake up, this was a matter of seconds but for me it was more like minutes.

my family never talked about that incident again until one day I asked my mother what had happened that day and she said that I had stopped breathing during my sleep and that my face was pale and they thought I had died, that my pulse was weak and they could not get me to react so out of fear of me being dead my brother started slapping me and shoving me to wake up and that I did and that I said I was tired and sleepy and that went to sleep afterwards.

What ever this was I believe that some force was trying to take my life but that it was just not my time yet.
