To the right was what seemed like a huge explosion of light, that I took to be a bomb, that probably killed me.

I did not think it strange that I should be remembering this event. Being about seven years old, it seemed really natural even though this was the 1960's

My mystery question when I thought back on it when I was a little older was if this (bomb /light) had killed me why did I remember this light to be the most beautiful all encompassing thing I had ever seen or felt before or since.

I am now 53 years of age. Some years later at the age of about 13/14 while on a school trip I had not slept for two nights and was extremely fatigued had fallen asleep awkwardly on a chair, I found what seemed like I was transported back to the trenches of WW1. I was nudged awake by somebody and I  tried to relate the strange fact that although asleep this was real not like a dream, but almost immediately I dropped off again and returned to the same place only this time I was in mid air about 20 foot above ground watching the medics with red cross cases moving towards the trench. This was not like a dream with mixed up confusing aspects this was real. It was not until I was much older that I even heard of past lives/I don't know what I thought reincarnation meant.

I have  also seen accounts on TV of soldiers in modern warfare like Iraq or even people in ordinary lives having the experience of floating in the air when injured
