“I had a dream I was flying over all of us.
There were so many pretty people.
So many pretty faces.”

I was floating above myself in the hospital bed and could see the doctors getting ready to save me.
I died for two minutes on the table during surgery after a car wreck before they resuscitated me.

I remember it being dark nothingness at first but very peaceful at first.
As they resuscitated me I was pulled back into this darkness for a brief moment, then woke up.

I remember the feeling of falling down into a small speck of light that got bigger.
It fractured into an infinite amount of stars.
I had a sudden heart failure in the hospital during surgery.
I remember the feeling of falling down into a small speck of light that got bigger.
It fractured into an infinite amount of stars and as time passed they created an indescribable new existence.
It was bliss that lasted for millennia.
I was only gone for 227 seconds.

I had a dream I was flying over all of us.
There were so many pretty people.
So many pretty faces.
I had a dream I was flying over all of us.
There were so many pretty people.
So many pretty faces.
I talked to some birds.
I fell in love again.
And none of this ever ended.
Everything just kept going, and going and going.
And even when you laughed, when you cried.
And even when you were sad you were really happy.
Because you were here.
And I got to meet every star, every planet.
Everything that made me.
And we all kissed.
And became the same.
We became the same.
We became the same.

Enveloped in unconditional love and exquisite joy.
No sensation of a physical body…its like my essence was distilled to its original, perfect concept.
Higher knowledge, deeper understanding.
Instead, I was plunged into a smothering void…sensory deprivation accompanied by excruciatinglonelinessand fear.
This time, my body came through the veil.
My entire being cried out for light.
What answered was a voice I felt, not heard.
It was the first step toward a more spiritual (not religious) perspective.
Its simply acknowledging all living things possess energy…and resonance is the path Im walking.

I felt nothing but unspeakable peace and joy for a second.
I felt nothing but unspeakable peace and joy for a second.
Then I see the light, and I start hearing sounds and feeling things.
I had been in the ICU for a week.
My brother was stoic as always.

Suddenly in this vast nothing was a blinding pinprick of light that got larger.
Either I was moving toward it, or it was moving toward me.
It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

I remember a lot of black which quickly enclosed like a shell into a tunnel.
When I was much younger (12 years old) I died from a full cardiac arrest.
This was at a high school football (American) game.
I can only remember flashes of memories from a few hours before until 2 weeks after the incident.
Congrats Skyline in Salt Lake City, your chant was able to pierce the veil of Death.
I remember a lot of black which quickly enclosed like a shell into a tunnel.
The tunnel itself was made of metal and looked exactly like the tunnel from Bespin where Luke ends up.
The feeling was awesome, though.
Unless you have seen it, there really are no words to describe it.
I think this is because I cannot convey the emotions and feelings to you.
They are very intense.
I was dead with no heartbeat for a little over 4 minutes.
This caused massive problems later with memory loss and other brain damage.
My mother said I was literally crazy for about 2 weeks after this.
I was constantly talking to the monk in the corner.
That my cat was being tortured in the next room.
That my mother had three eyes.
I was a loon.

I almost died from drowning last year and the experience changed me.
I had been dead for an unknown amount of minutes.
But they managed to pull me out of the water and revive me.
I do not know how long I was dead.
They say it took 2 minutes to revive me on the beach.
But the experience of after death felt like a very long day.
I did not feel anything, nothing.
But looking back, I feel like it was a very long day, very strange experience.

No lights, no pearly gates, no angels, just peace.
No lights, no pearly gates, no angels, just peace.
When I woke up everyone was yelling at me to breathe.
Theres nothing but peace and comfort on the other side.

I attempted suicide a few months ago.
I was hanging myself in my garage.
I get the rope ready, put on some music.
Stand on some cinder blocks, secure the rope around my neck.
Then I send a few texts and kick down the cinder block tower.
Im dangling above the concrete floor.
My first thought was WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING?
It then progressed into How do I get down?
How do I get down?
Until I forgot how I got up there.
I kept reaching for the ground.
But, I couldnt understand why it was so far away.
My thoughts became more sparse.
My vision began stuttering.
Darker and darker, until the deepest blackness imaginable.
Then It was just peace.
I felt calmer than I ever had before.
Like it was purely a blissful experience.
After that came the light.
I felt my stress and anxiety rushing back.
Happiness drained from my body.
I was awake, but it was like a dream.
My rope had snapped and because of that I am alive.

I remember the famous LIGHT!
(oooohhh spooky), but not one light, two lights.
(oooohhh spooky), but not one light, two lights.
Re-learned to walk in a day or two.
I still can feel the very distinct vibe if I think about it long enough.
Almost like a happy nostalgia.
TL;DR I no longer fear death but am extremely grateful for life.

There is no light and no darkness.
No warmth and no cold.
I wasnt on life support or a monitor.
So I cant verify the clinically dead part.
But Ive been dead.
There was a doctor with me who says I was dead.
Ive posted before discussing this, so it may be overlap for some.
There is no light and no darkness.
No warmth and no cold.
You read about it sometimes and people say it was an embrace or a chilling feeling.
The blackout was the same as the death.
The only moment was when I started to come back…everything was dull.
When I started to open my eyes, it took 4 or 5 minutes to be able to focus.
I couldnt comprehend anything said to me for almost 10 minutes.
It was like my brain needed a hard reboot and to remember how to do various things.

There I shot up to 44 degrees Celsius of fever.
The others I could identify as related to me through facial features.
I talked to some of themhell if I remember anything of those conversations.
(Our native language is/was german.
Du kannst auch jetzt schon bei uns bleiben wenn du mochtest.
After a while, I realized that my visit in the white room took two weeks.
Makes you scared, knowing you were out for two entire weeks.
Not going back to the white room for as long as possible, no sir.
So, thats my story.
All I know for certain is that just thinking back to the white room sends shivers through my bones.

It was like being in a black cloud.
It was all black, but not empty.
My abusive ex choked me until I think I briefly faded out one time.
It was all black, but not empty.
I briefly saw the tunnel, but it wasnt white, it was something else.
I was shaking violently and apparently as I was passed out I was seizing up.
I dont think I died but I came very close.

I could see the electricity running the lights, through the walls.
I made asuicideattempt about six years ago.
When I came back, it felt like Id been there two hours.
I can only describe it as existing only as your consciousness, but in an altered consciousness.
I also could not feel…happiness per se, but more like just peace.
I still knew who I was (or who I had been?
The only other thing I could feel was love.
The things I saw were real, but just altered.
I remember looking at my body.
I remember looking around the room.
I could see the electricity running the lights, through the walls.
I could see inside my body, and other peoples bodies.
I know it sounds insane.
I could also not necessarilyhear, but I couldknowpeoples thoughts, like telepathically.
It was like I was connected to every person I could see from where I was.
I also knew that I could go further, if I wanted to.
Obviously, I chose to get back into my body, as Im here now.
Also, and this is hard to explain, but when youre dead, nothings a secret to you.
Like I said, you could hear and feel peoples thoughts and feelings.
Things I couldnt or shouldnt have known.
Also, as I mentioned before, time is an illusion.
you’ve got the option to see it as if its all happening at once.
Its hard to explain.
All in all, it was bizarre, and I now know that there is a consciousness after death.
Its a place of light, energy, and no boundaries.
And theres an even more complex place you might go to if you choose to stay.
If you choose to stay, your brain will die and its permanent.

It wasnt black, it was just simply void.
I got hit by a car when I was three.
I stayed conscious long enough to accept a teddy bear from the man who saved me.
That sounds bad, haha.
My husband thinks its cute, so eh fuck it.)
My heart stopped for just shy of two minutes.
I had a really weird out-of-body experience.
There was aTaco Bellon the corner of the strip mall we were at.
It was like I was looking down.
There was this equipment and yelling.
I saw it through a toddlers eyes, so I guess thats how I remember it.
I got this feeling like its time to go so I watched my mom as I left.
It wasnt black, it was just simply void.
When a single kind touch will make your emotions burst.
That times a million.
I felt hugged close to…I honestly cant describe it.
It felt like a welcome home message.
I tend to think theres something on the other side, but maybe it was my brain, etc.
I get its just a rough subject.

I was engulfed in darkness.
But it was all peaceful.
Everything around me felt soft and at ease.
It was during a dark period in my life where I chose substances over EVERYTHING in my life.
The morning after a bender actually was when it occurred.
I was engulfed in darkness.
But it was all peaceful.
Everything around me felt soft and at ease.
My mind was dark but also light at the same time.
Almost as if you were meditating.
Very at peace and just relaxed.
No one brought me back; I just came back.
The feeling of utter peace and contentment still messes with me from time to time.
I want it again.
I wonder why I came back frequently.
Its something Ill never have an answer to.

The things I saw/heard made me believe the world I had entered was liquid.
Thick liquid, flowing but just barely, and with audible eddies and flows in the background.
I was struck by lightning as a child, a direct hit.
The things I saw/heard made me believe the world I had entered was liquid.

Shapes were…distorted, but recognizable.
A decade later, I read an H.P.

When I was seven, I drowned in a pool.
It felt like falling asleep in the comfiest bed ever.
My lungs and sinuses felt like they were on fire.
When I think back on it, I still just remember being comforted and feeling completely safe.

I dont remember being gone.
Just silence and darkness.
But I seem more at peace with everything.
Depending on how fast they were to respond they would use chemicals or paddles to revive me.
Each of those feels different coming back, but the leaving always felt the same.
At this point I can still hear, and if I am standing up I start to go down.
But I have been told Im not actually moving during this time.
If people are around me at this point I stop hearing them too.
I dont want to scream out, I just want to give into it.
To make it go away anyway I can.
The next second is when they bring me back.
If its with drugs its always much more gentle.
I get the absolute worst headache you could ever imagine and my whole body gets tingly.
Like when you have been out in the cold and then run your hands under hot water.
My ears are assaulted with every noise around me at the same time and its confusing.
But at the same time that is the moment when I feel most alive as well.
It is the best and worst feeling in the world.
Whenever I come back I am never fearful or worried.
I dont remember being gone.
Just silence and darkness.
But I seem more at peace with everything.
More in tune with the world.
And I know weird things about people that I shouldnt.
I even had a nurse remove herself from my case because of this once.

I was naked and in a cold dark tunnel that suddenly opened up into this massive area.
I was in a house fire and suffered pretty extensive burns when I was 15.
I dreamt I was naked and in a cold dark tunnel that suddenly opened up into this massive area.
He gives me the rock and asks me to throw it at the Christ the Redeemer statue.
I then get up and walk toward the statue when I hear my name being called.
I then walked back toward them and that was it.
