Is it normal to believe in dwell on near-death experiences?

About two months ago, I drove to work here in the UK in icy conditions. I was driving well within the speed limit when I lost control of my car and my car spun round a few times before coming to a full stop. I was all alone at the time and there were no other cars on the road for miles. I was in a state of shock but recovered quickly.

Just a few hours ago, I was crossing the road. Being totally distracted by other thoughts, I didn't realise a car coming my way and it managed to swerve in time to avoid hitting me.

On both occasions, I could have been killed given different circumstances. Now I sit on my desk thinking about these two occasions always. It almost felt like I'm not supposed to be alive right now, like as though I've cheated death. All of a sudden, I started thinking about my family and my three nieces. I now feel so lucky to be alive and at the same time, I hate myself for being so stupid, putting my own life in danger like that.

Do you believe in fate, that everyone has a destined time of death? Do you believe in omens for the future? I'd love to hear about 'near-death' experiences that you've had before and how you've reacted to them. Thank you for reading this.

    I'm going through the same thing. My friend was driving a car and we hit a sigh and my door got the full blow of the sign, but we were ok. Eight days later I rolled my car on the way to work and was less than three feet from a tree. It' scary and I can't shake it either...

    I don't believe in fate, but it's fairly normal to question whether something has more meaning to it than would seem. Next time your time might be up, so make the most of every day.
