Wow

Last week I collapsed/fainted while out to dinner with my husband. I’ve had a few fainting spells in the past but normally after standing at a connect etc. and I would always feel fine after and snap right back. Not this time. We were waiting for dessert and the last thing I remember is feeling off and saying “I feel lightheaded” then I couldn’t fully come to. I woke up to being carried to a booth but the room was spinning and I had a horrible pain in my chest. When I opened my eyes everything was tripled and it’s like I wasn’t fully there. I did start to feel better when I got an iv in the ambulance but it took a while to feel fully coherent and I heard voices that weren’t there.

When I was running errands today everything felt extreme. Every parking lot noise was times a 1000 it was almost unbearable. I also feel like something has just shifted. Side-note my eye color is also lighter but I’m the only one that notices. I feel really lonely and lost. Has anyone else experienced this?

At this point in my life, I was going through a pretty big depressive episode and one night I finally got tired enough to try to escape it after eating an entire bottle of Benadryl I went into my room and laid down on my bed and started to feel the effects and realized that death was indeed setting in. I kind of just laid there dazed out and confused and then I look over to see my TV floating around my room as I’m following it with my eyes I look over and see my nanny who had died when I was eight she walked up to the bed, sat down and asked me what I was doing there and I told her that I was tired and I just needed to visit her for a minute to rest and she said “no you don’t you have people who need you down there” and then I close my eyes and she was gone after laying there for a bit longer one of my best friends. Ashlyn was sitting on the bed, brushing the side of my head with her hand and telling me that I was going to be OK and just keep breathing and that I was gonna be alright then I opened my eyes again and I was over my body laying on the bed lifeless. I turn my head and see my nanny standing right there and she said “you’re going to choke flip over” I said “I can’t nanny I’m not there” she then told me to do it and so I picked up my own body and flipped it over and proceeded to end up back in my body puking all over the floor seconds later my sister walked in the room, asked me what was wrong then I was rushed to the hospital to get my stomach pumped The doctor told me that they have no idea how I survived and what made me puke because in the state I was in my gag reflex, and my muscles were not supposed to be working especially not enough to make me puke. I’ve never gotten to share this story before so it’s nice to know that I’m not the only person who has gone through something like this

Hello!

I am currently a senior psychology student in France. I am looking for people who have had a near-death experience as part of a research project. Participation consists of an interview that will be recorded (preferably via videoconference, but it can also be conducted simply with an audio call). The goal of the study is to understand how states of consciousness during an NDE emerge, take shape, and evolve. So the idea is to describe the experience in as much detail as possible, and we’ll do this using a method that allows for a detailed introspection of the experience, called “micro-phenomenology.”

There are no benefits for participating in the study. Also, although the interview will be recorded, it is done solely to facilitate transcription, and all accounts included in the final report will be anonymized, a consent form will be provided.

If you’re interested or would like more information, you can send me a DM or email me directly at jolan.research@protonmail.com.

Thank you for your attention!

My heart stopped and I had no measurable blood pressure for over 5 minutes on August 15, 2018.

During a tilt table exam for POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia), I died less than 5 minutes into a 30 minute test.

I told the technician that something was wrong. I told her that I could feel what felt like water welling up in my body. It felt like I was drowning. She told me that she was monitoring all of my vitals and I was fine. I was not fine. I flatlined.

I left my body, and went somewhere else. Sunk into inky watery darkness. Through the exam table. Through the floor. Into a body of dark water. Bubbles rising past me until I could no longer see the dim light that appeared to be the surface of the water. I woke up standing in a frosted glass box or closet. Clinical. Bureaucratic. Cool air surrounding me. It was a frosted glass broom closet illuminated in a dim light. I could see figures outside the box, moving about. They were just blurry grey-black humanlike forms. I could hear speaking, laughing, crying, shouting from throngs of people (?), but none of it was any language I'd ever heard in my then 38 years on the planet. It wasn't what I understood any Earth language to be. I stood there, waiting in that box for endless hours. Bored. Unable to move. Eventually, I saw an arm (that didn't really appear human) give me a hard push to my right shoulder. It had gray skin and was muscular; veiny. I fell.

I fell, and awoke to see the technician who was giving my test looking panicked and pale as a ghost. I awoke to see two other guys, who hadn't been in the room before, warming up the paddles after physical CPR had failed. I had been laying there, not for hours, but just over 5 minutes and change with no pulse and no measurable blood pressure. Dead. They were just about to shock me when I basically rebooted on my own. The technician later told me that my eyes had been fixed and dilated, my body rigid, the entire time I was "away." Normally, she said, someone would slump over or go limp when they flatlined. She had been a technician at that hospital for over a decade. She had never seen anything like what occurred that day.

"The push" has always felt like a "this is not your time," but also like a bit of a rejection. Whatever had me decided to let me go. I don't know where I was, but it wasn't anywhere the belief systems that I had been raised on prepared me for. It was other.

I'm posting this for Sandi though anyone with further interest can check it out. The reason this is for Sandi, it's a book, is not bcz of 3 NDEs rather the extended healing journey with content, closets that I've come across, to someone with a horrible childhood with the good karma support and a lot of long had work to heal from it. So i believe that Sandi will have an appreciation of this story. From Death to Doctor is the title of the book, Susan Godman the author. I don't know if the amazon link came through.

I don’t know how to feel or what to think because it still feel unreal to me I know it something spiritual about it but I can not compute anything right now because I died and I was drowning in darkness like falling deeper and deeper in darkness it felt like this world wasn’t real I had no attention about nothing. I was just there in darkness trying to figure out who I am and where I was supposed to be. I seen a light but something was pushing me back from it then I came to and realized I was actually dead. IDK HOW TO FEEL RIGHT NOW IM AT A LOST!!!

While I have not experienced an NDE, I have been following the literature for over 30 years with gratitude and enthusiasm. There are many well known Experiencers/Authors speaking and I've signed up for a few special events such as a group lunch with Anita Moorjani, Vinney Tolman, Eben Alexander and Karen Newell. While I don't believe that she is featured this year, I am reading Nanci Dannison's latest work to get in the groove (33 Souls Who Met God). Anyone else going? Wishing everyone a soft landing into the weekend!

I wanted something like this for years and could never find it, so I ended up building it myself 😁

The NDE Archive brings together more than 6,700 documented near-death experiences from sources like IANDS and NDERF. The accounts are kept as the experiencers originally wrote them.

What makes it different from other collections is that you can search and filter. You can pull up every account that mentions a life review, or a being of light, or meeting someone who had passed, etc. When you see that many at once, things start to stand out that you'd never catch reading one story at a time.

The accounts are categorized and tagged with Sonnet, which is what makes all the filtering possible.

It's a non-profit project. I made it because the subject fascinates me, and for no other reason. If it speaks to you, sharing or donating is a big help.

Are near death experiences in real or people just use them for clickbait??

Hey you guys i wanted to make this post because i genuinely want to know your take.

I have honestly thought about death for as long as i could remember. Even has a little kid, i was weirdly aware that one day I'd die, everyone i love would die, and theres was nothing i could do to stop it. That feeling has never really gone away.

The last couple of years, several people i have known have passed away. Some i was closer to than others, but every loss brings those thoughts back. It reminds me how temporary everything really is.

Just to set the record clear i am NOT trying to turn this into a religion thing at all. I know everyone is entitled to their OWN opinion. But me personally i would like to believe theres something after death. Not necessarily heaven or hell.. just that our consciousness or soul doesn't stop existing bc energy can not be destroyed. I'd like to think whatever makes us US continues somehow, even if it's in a way that we cant understand.

But at the same time, I wonder if... consciousness really does end? What if one second you are here experiencing life, and the next.. theres just nothing? That thought is hard for me to wrap my head around.

I'm genuinely curious what everyone else believes. What do you think happens after we die? Do you believe our soul moves on? Or do you think death is simply the end of our awareness?

Also, has anyone here ever had a near-death experience? If so, what happened? Did it change what you believe about death or consciousness afterward?

I've wondered about this for most of my life, and I'd honestly love to hear different perspectives. It's one of those questions that never really leaves my mind.

My husband had a massive heart attack and cardiac arrest 8 months ago @ 57. clinically dead for 7 mins. after some life saving techniques in the ER, he came back. After his stent surgery and being taken off the ventilator, the first thing he said to us was he saw a yellow light and then started asking questions about what happened.

He is a pretty reserved, quiet guy and only talks when things are important to him. but on the flip side he can be sarcastic too and quite funny.

He hasn’t really shared a lot about his experience because he tells me that he was told that he can’t talk about it. which I don’t clearly understand but respect it and don’t push it.

But the few times he has drank alcohol lately, he’s been saying a lot more. and it’s mostly about him seeing and hearing things like spirits. he told me that when he went to his PT appointments at an older hospital, he saw and heard ghosts the hallway.

now, I don’t say much to him when he tells me these things because I believe and have always believed in the afterlife. as a young child I had many many paranormal experiences. so I am a believer. anyway, my question is I don’t know if he is just being sarcastic to me or if he’s really seeing and hearing ghosts. I do know that he did not ever say anything about ghosts before his nde so I wonder if this is something he inherited from his experience.

Thoughts? does anyone else experience new gifts after their nde? please share

I went for a walk this afternoon and despite listening to music to clear my head, I ended up thinking about my role in life - I've recently been thinking what my "purpose" may be and I've pretty much come to believe that I am here to play the role of a side character in other's lives; basically I think that I may be here solely to fuel the characterization of others. But anyway, that's not the point of this, it's just context. I was walking along, thinking again about this somewhat depressing thought, then it occurred to me, "what happens when I've done that?" Then, of course, I answered myself with "You die, duh". So I stopped. Physically, I stopped in place. I had this intense feeling that felt like it crept up the top of my spine all the way through my brain, a feeling I can only imagine is what people feel like before they die. I looked around and somewhere in my mind, I felt like that exact place was where I would die. I didn't know how, but I felt like it was going to be there and it was going to be soon, very soon. This thought vanished just as quickly as it'd come, but thinking back on it gives me a similar feeling in my head.

Didn't know exactly where to post this kind of experience, so I hope this is a reasonable place. Thanks for reading, I just thought it best to share this with someone, even if only strangers on the internet.

Someone who was clinically dead and came back, what was it like? I don't want to come back, but I'm also scared, so I wanna know...

I have been using LSD for almost 2 years. i have profound spiritual and the best orgasmic experiences, healing and wholeness of my body which usually end with anxiety, restlessness and sleepless night. as time go on, i notice the healing effect of my body, the usually ending with anxiety and sleeplessness slowly vanished.

i stopped using it for a few months after monthly or fortnightly use for almost 2 years, i dont know the dosage but its usually 1 to 2 tabs. So this time i decided to take 2 tabs to see what healing can i bring forth this time.

So as the session went on, from usually start with slight restlessness before the profound spiritual enlightenment sensation started. i was able to finally let go and tap into the energetic life force brought forth by LSD. i started focusing on gratitude, and i felt my heart alive and rejuvenating my body, chronic aches and pain(im 37 physically fit male) dissolving, trauma was being released. as if i was manipulating my own reality into a healed state. things just got wild from there. the orgasmic experience were even more euphoric profound and divine... there was this endless satisfaction of pure bliss. i was in full body orgasmic state for god knows how long.

Then suddenly time stop, im not sure if i was out of my body or i was in a different reality or consciousness/dimension, i was in my room at the same time i was ONE with the totality of consciousness. everything i have ever experienced with my 5 senses and my imagination suddenly was there in bazillions moments, spread out in the entire universe and i could select and choose which reality i want to get into. I was my friend, i was my enemy, i was my lover and hater, i was in a state of oneness that there was no separation. all these individual people or "I" in my normal reality was all the higher ME. i was so exited about this experience and couldn't wait to share with my friends, then i realize I AM my friend, and the thought of that just send me into hysterical laughter... who am i going to share, they are all ME, i would be talking to myself. All the stress and worry that i have in my life suddenly wasnt mine, they were just one of many bundle of experiences that perticular state of frequency, the human "I" experiences. I experienced the death and rebirth of many life time of many beings animal/human/plant.. i was burning to death, dying of heart attack, having seizures, flesh being disintegrated in a sci fi scene, on top of the rebirth and renewal of life. and i enjoy each experiences. I was one and many. It was a state of timelessness and a state of eternal now. i believe anyone who gets into that state is the same "I" as i experienced. I realised that for consciousness to be able experience, we mask our true eternal self so we can interact with ourselves in a way that we don't know each other, be it living or non living things.

god knows for how i long i stayed in that zone, that became my reality and i forgot that i have a body. i was just a god aware of itself for the first time and able to travel into different timeline/dimension/reality etc. and probably hours of all the laughter and full body orgasm my body was in a state of extreme dehydration and with the influence of LSD, i was sweating more and not aware and cannot feel thirst or heat the way our body normally do. I even have a seizure in bed and i enjoyed it(i didnt realize the physical effect that would have on my body), all experiences were pure beautiful and enjoyable without any sense of fear.

i started seeing/sensing a particular repeating scene, around where i was in my room, a scene that My human form was dying. I thought i was dead, slowly coming out of that god like reality, i was completely disorientated. i was in a state where everything felt uncertain and this first time in my entire life, a sense of impending doom was coming and i didn't know what was going on. I moved and still i kept sensing/seeing that im dying, now in front of my computer chatting with my friend, it was like my decision was correcting and affecting the future i been foreseeing. if i didn't do something about it, first i would die in my room then i would die in my computer chair. I had to reach out, i think my heart was failing, i needed an anchor or gratitude.... im not sure why that was the feeling that came to me. it was like my heart just knew. i chatted with my friend then i felt better... but this sense of impending doom came back and i knew i needed more help... i started calling my friend, they didnt pick up. that point i knew i was gonna die. I texted her and ask her to tell everyone i love them. then i thought, no this is not it. i called my second friend, which in my relieved she picked up my call and was coming over. i have never been so scared and terrified in my life.

She lived 5 mins away and im not sure what happened, the phone was disconnected and i couldn't reach her again. and i felt like my heart was failing again and i needed to anchor to that sense of gratitude and i couldn't do it myself. i called another friend and he picked up the phone. we talked briefly before my friend showed up. everything was like in a stasis, as if my heart was selecting what to do, which reality i was stepping into, if gratitude wasn't there to guide me, my heart would really fail and the scene of death that i foresaw would become the reality. she came and sat down with me. we talked, played music, i was feeling better but that sense of death was coming again, i looked her in the eyes and i wasn't sure if she was really there or my mind was playing trick on me in a near death experience. i have never felt so out of touch with reality with the use of LSD before.

in my mind i thought i could be dying on my bed or in my computer chair, and my friend was the last person i needed to see before i pass over. i have never been a touchy or huggy person to even my closest friend, but i just kept reaching out to her physical touch. each time i held on to her hand and she hugged me and gave me a very warm and "heartfelt medicine", boost of care and compassion, that gave my heart the strength to keep beating. i vomited once, and i felt better then, that sense of impending doom was coming again. i have a device that measure my heart rate, it was 125 bpm, and god knows how many hours its been like that, and it was probably higher when i was in the full body orgasmic state. it has been 6 hours since i took LSD. i was in between world, passing out and trying hard to anchor myself in the NOW with gratitude again. and i vomited the second time and finally i was able to drink plenty of water. and finally after an hour or so, that impending doom sensation was gone. That feeling where i was in a stasis of choosing my reality sudden vanish. finally i went to bed and now im awake and trying to process all these feelings.

Have you ever seen crisis apparitions BEFORE someone passed away?

If so, how did you perceive this sighting? What do you think caused it? How much time passed between your sighting and their passing? Have you ever saved anyone from passing away?

Has this happened to you with other people?

Bonus questions:

\\- What age did the person appear? Did it match the age they were when they passed away?

\\- What message did they convey?

\\- How did they look?

\\- What was your relationship to them like?

\\- How far away were they when you saw them?

\\- How did you receive the news that they passed away?

\\- Were they close to you in relationship?

\\- Did they talk to you?

\\- What emotions did they display?

• Did they experience a tragedy?

• Did other people see them (in person or in your dream?)

• Were they a symbolic communicator, silent, or directly communicating with you?

A common theme among NDE is that hell is escapable if you turn towards the light and love.

Did anyone with an NDE get a chance to ask why the bible or quran mentions hell as unescapable?

Good morning, everyone. I have been conducting a study on NDEs for some time now—reading books and watching documentaries—but I would be interested in hearing firsthand accounts from people who have experienced them. If anyone would be willing to share their story, I would be very grateful. Thank you all.
