Experience description:

It seems crazy to say all this, but I think I remember fragments of dying in a past life and then being reborn. While I was dying, I was deeply scared, not sure of what was going to happen. Right after dying, I was floating in nothingness, like a dark universe but nothing terrible happened. I felt at peace and as if I knew that everything was going to be alright. And somehow, I knew that I was going to be reborn and that death meant the beginning of a new life. It brought me so much peace and comfort and reassurance, even before I was born in this world.
