Anyone ever had near death experience ?

[cantsleep1]

Been watching too many documentaries and it gets me wondering if there really is life after death🤔
Google tells stories of people who have but is there anyone on here with any stories ?

Almost died of Meningitis as a baby but no NDE I remember. Although I did have a OOBE when I was born, down to being able to detail the operating theatre many years later.

I had some kind of febrile convulsions when I had measles age 12, I can remember shaking & not being able to make it stop & trying to shout my mum as I was in my bedroom but no noise would come out, then everything going like it used to when you turned the television off, smaller & smaller until the white dot disappeared. Apparently my temperature was through the roof, all I can remember was the shaking then my senses starting to shut down, my mum found me on the bedroom floor, bright red & shaking, she had to wait until it stopped to get me back in bed as I was too big to pick up.

I had a bad reaction to general anesthesia during a minor intervention.

I just remember feeling the liquid being injected into my vein, burning like crazy and traveling to my chest where I freaked out because I felt I couldn't breathe. The last image I had before losing consciouscness was me suddenly sitting up on the operation table clenching at my chest looking in panic at the nurses, I clearly felt I was dying and it was painful and I was terrified. I woke up a few hours later remembering nothing and having had no notion of the time that had passed all I had seen was darkness. The idea that I hadn't existed for a little while (though of course I had, it's just my conscience wasn't there) and that a lot of people (medical staff) had done things to my body without me noticing or feeling was a bit disturbing at first, but then it also help make peace with death as I found it very realistic and how I would expect death to happen.

Because I had been terrified and in pain in the last minutes but then there was "nothing", no pain, just blackness, no sense of being alive or dead, no thoughts, no sensation left to my body, no timeline. Like you genuinely cease to exist. Until then I had always found the thought of "nothingness" post-death terrifying, but this brought me comfort. I hope that when I do die, if heaven doesn't exist (not that I believe in it), then that that is the state I end up in. I don't necessarily want to be conscious of the fact that I once was alive and can't see people I care about anymore or stuff like that. Nothingness suits me just fine after all.

I've had dreams where I've floated above my body when I was just relaxed in bed, I wasn't ill, traumatised or close to death.

I think NDEs are also dreams, because someone was very ill or might have died some people attach something mystical or spiritual to it.

I have, I've just come out of hospital after contracting maternal sepsis from strep A - giving birth to newborn DD.

No light at the end of the tunnel or any of that lark, just an overwhelming feeling of "this is it" and although not religious I prayed for my children to be safe and looked after.

You can't start a flat lined (still) heart with electricity, like a defibrillator/AED. That doesn't mean that it can't be restarted though, just that electric shocks aren't the solution. You can try to restart a still heart in other ways like giving epi or sometimes CPR will work.

Floribunda18, you may well be right, I think that our brains are capable of coping with trauma in incredible ways, perhaps NDEs are the ultimate coping mechanism. Far better to experience that than horrific pain and severe psychological distress at the end of life, or the beginning of the process of death.

I think dreams are perhaps just a very tiny glimpse into how we'll exist when we die. There'll be no need for our bodies, but just pure consciouness and the ability to talk without speaking. Every account Ive read about says similar, but the main thing being the state of undescribable peace and happiness, and also God's love. People also talk of the feeling of going "home". But unlike dreams they also say their memory of when they "died", unlike dreams, never fades and is as strong today as when it happened sometimes years and years before.

I think there’s a difference between the thoughts you have when you could die like the person who described a motorcyclist being thrown up in the air and the distorted thoughts you have when you are clinically close to death. When one or more organ is failing, your thinking is influenced by the drugs being pumped through your body and/or the cognitive impact of organ failure.

I've personally never had one but I do have vivid dreams makes me wonder if we just go into a dream state :/
It is interesting but all I see on tv are people saying it was dark and there where people screaming 🤔 suppose we will never know

Could you elaborate more on that @cantsleep1 please? What programme was it? What were the people stories? TIA

Can't remember off the top of my head, but people saying it wasn't nice yet everyone's stories on here or mixed

Iv had afew

But most recently was when my kidneys were shutting down due to a sickness bug, i had an overwhelming feeling that i was dying. I told my partner i was dying, he ofcourse said 'your not, its just a sickness bug". I cant describe the feeling, but i just felt like my body was shutting down, it was a really weird feeling.

We was waiting for 111 to call back. We had already spoke to a nurse and 2 doctors. It got to the point i wanted to sleep and forget about the call back from 111. Luckly my partner got me to the hospital, the doctors said i had a matter of hours to live, if i had gone to sleep i would of died, 111 rang back about 8 hours later
