What's Going On Here?

I was driving a couple of weeks ago, fell asleep and had an experience that was very unusual.
Because in my first post at this website I described another instance of falling asleep while driving I need to explain a couple of things first so everyone won't think I fall asleep all the time, because I don't. I work nights and don't have any problems staying awake. That is, until they stick me on a day shift for a day and then I have to go back to nights. When that happens I have a very hard time staying awake the first night. This has only happened twice in 8 months, and it won't happen again because next time I am scheduled to do that (if ever- I explained to the boss I can't do that) I will simply tell him I won't do it. Don't worry friends, it'll be OK. I won't lose my job over that, no way.
Another thing: Although this has already been iterated in another post I need to describe again the first instance of falling asleep because it may have some bearing on my present story. I was in really bad shape. I couldn't see straight, was almost asleep, and what happens? My wife calls me and the first thing she says is "I know you're in trouble, what's wrong"?! Apparently, she had been asleep in her bed, woke up, and knew I was in trouble. This still blows me away when I think about it! Well, talking to her got me wide awake and I made it to where I was going OK.
So here I am again a couple weeks ago, in the same predicament. My wife couldn't call me again because she is now deceased. I know that I fell asleep and my eyes had closed because a voice in my head said quite forcefully "Open your eyes"! I assume this happened as soon as I closed my eyes, but I will never be sure because I was asleep. Know what I mean? I could have been out for some seconds. You can't tell when you're asleep! At any rate, when I heard "Open your eyes" it did not feel like me saying that. It felt exactly like someone/something had put that thought in my head. I am now conscious again and in that first instant I knew my eyes were shut because everything was black. So yeah, I jerked my eyes open! In that first instant before I opened my eyes, in the blackness, an image started to form. An instant later my eyes are open and the image continues to materialize right in front of me, taking, I would say, about 3 seconds to fully form. OK, I'm thinking, something ain't right here. When you have a dream the dream ends when you open your eyes, right? I have never experienced this before, of this I am certain. The image is of a blonde-haired woman dressed in a flowing robe which was colored in a pattern of pastel yellow, pastel blue, and pastel sea green, the colors being separated by narrow bands of black. I could only see her down to her waist, and for some reason I wasn't getting distinctive facial features. The image appeared 2 dimensional. This is totally weird because I am seeing normally, but I have this 2D image of this woman who looked like she was about 8 or 10 feet in front of my windshield. It looked like someone who may have been sleeping or resting on their side and rolled over on their back, thereby facing me right when the image was forming. I was seeing this from a perspective of being above the woman looking down at her, like what you would see if you were standing at the foot of someone's bed on a chair and looking at them. A few seconds later the image faded away. The woman's hair color, style and length was identical to that of my wife. The face was full and round like my wife's. I'm not suggesting it was my wife because as I said I wasn't getting a conscious imprint of facial features for some reason and I don't have a bias one way or another on whether it was her or not. At least I'm trying not to.
But I am wondering if it is possible the image could have been my wife. And if not, who was this person? I am going to claim that this entity rescued me that night. This is what I call a miracle. I am not a kook. The night my wife called me and woke me up was the first time something really odd had ever happened to me. Some of you know me as a person who took a serious spiritual path 3 months ago when my wife died. If I get to look forward to spiritual experiences like this for the rest of my life, it should be really interesting.
