Near Death...

Last night I went to sleep around 4 a.m., at 4:30ish I woke up gasping for air. Realizing that I had just had a dream, I laid there in shock evaluating the dream that at the time felt so real. In the dream I was in the car with my aunt, I was driving, she was in the passenger seat. As I was driving my vision started getting blurry. I told her to take the wheel. She asked why and I said just take the wheel. She reached over and took the wheel while I tried to figure out what was happening. My vision seemed a little better so I told her I thought I was okay and took over driving. I remember driving a bit further and seeing a bale of hay in the road. After that things got fuzzy again and I blacked out. When I came to I was really close to the windshield. I wasn't wearing a seat belt and came close to going through the windshield but didn't. I could see car parts lying all over the pavement and could smell something burning. I tried to yell at Vickie to ask if she was okay but couldn't. I then realized that she was trying to pull me out of the car. I could feel the air bag and the seat as she pulled me out onto the asphalt. I laid there looking up at the dark sky and the smoke that was rising into the air. I prayed for God to help me. I tried to speak but couldn't, I was choking on my own blood. It was hard for me to breathe. My last thought before waking up was, this is it, I'm going to die.
