I wasn't thinking about my family, my properties or my house or anything I was stuck only thinking about what was happening that moment. It was like I wanted to stay there and not go back. And then I started running towards the black hole. I put my right foot in the hole I wasn't afraid of it. I was calm. As soon as I put my right foot in it closed and the people told me it wasn't my time yet and I had to go back.

I woke up as soon as that happened. and that peaceful feeling that I had went away. I can't explain if I had died if it was a dream or what I don't know if it was a religious experience. I would like to know what it was if it was a dream or a near death experience. But in all it could not have been no more than a 15 minute experience because the 1 hour TV show was still a little bit under 20 minutes. The one thing that I do know is that there is a life after death and when I die I will be ok. Anybody reading this or who has had an experience like this just knows that when you die, everything will be fine.  Other people that I told this story have told me that this black hole was Hell or it was the grave. I think that I scared myself so bad that maybe something went off in my head and that feeling came over me. So don't think I am crazy because this feeling does not just happen and I would like to know what happened to me did I die was it god what happened? One thing I can be sure of is that you need not be scared of death because there is a better life after death. And if some one can tell me what happened to me please let me know.
