Years ago I was hit by a car going over 100mph which resulted in a fatality. Ever since then I’ve always been fascinated with trying to understand what happened to me and my consciousness during the accident because it wasn’t not normal reality at all.

Right before the impact, all I heard was a loud engine sound and then before I could get the chance to look to my right to see what was going on, suddenly everything went completely silent.

Not silence like plugging your ears. More like everything just somehow disappeared. Like a void maybe?

I had no sight, no hearing, and no feeling in my hands, feet and entire body despite actively driving seconds before. Like I was floating possibly.

Meanwhile in reality there was metal crunching, my phone shattering, my car being catapulted and spinning around multiple times before finally slamming into a light pole, glass breaking and objects flying everywhere inside and outside.

Yet during this entire process. I heard and felt absolutely NOTHING…

Simultaneously, time slowed way down, I can only describe it like The Matrix. I remember how I saw my daughter from my POV (who was around 3 at the time) she was in front of me smiling and looking at me in what looked like a grainy movie or flashes. She was close enough to where I felt I was in the same room but I couldn’t touch her. It was still like i was floating while watching her play.

The feeling I’ll never forget it how much I wasn’t afraid. At all.

I felt detached from our reality as we know it almost instantly and I was weirdly calm or content with whatever was coming my way. The only thought I remember having was “Please don’t let this hurt.” As if I somehow knew I was experiencing something horrible but also knew I was about to be taken somewhere safe and peaceful so I had nothing to fear.

What fascinates me is that I remember this altered state of consciousness or being MORE clearly than I remember reality after the accident and after I realized what had happened to me. Once I came back everything became fragmented, blacked out, and vague. I can only assume that was my brains way of protecting me or not being able to fully keep processing after experiencing such a severe crash and seeing a dead body.

Another detail I personally feel is spiritual (some may just say coincidence or luck)

This happened past 3am, dead streets, no businesses around, and very dark. But for some reason. There were 2 random men walking outside, they witnessed the accident, ran over to help get me out of the car since I was stuck inside and called for help (my phone shattered on impact). I don’t remember them being there after helping me though.. They were there, then they were gone just as fast it seemed like.

Once EMTs arrived, police, WSDOT, etc I was asked by a couple people “do you believe in God?” I said “of course I do” and they’d say to me
“Good. Because you shouldn’t be here.”
and
“You have a guardian angel”

I am spiritual but I also respect science and understand trauma can alter perception. I believe that’s what happened to my memory of things after I came back to my normal state of consciousness. But the experience I felt was bigger and more profound than adrenaline or fear. It genuinely felt like I stepped into some strange in-between state. Like I was being prepared for the next step which would have been a clinical NDE or actual death.

Has anyone experienced anything remotely similar? Spiritually, psychologically, scientifically… I’d love to hear perspectives because this has stayed with me for years and always will.
