Near-death and out-of-body experiences
During NDEs, many people report that their senses become dramatically heightened — seeing colors that don't exist on Earth, hearing music of indescribable beauty, or experiencing a 360-degree vision.
At the time of my experience, I had a very hard life with disease and I had a feeling of disorientation. I was religious, being Catholic, but found no happiness in this denomination. Additionally, my wife passed after long suffering with cancer. Nurs...
While waking up during a bypass-surgery, I had an experience with light that I'm calling Déjà-vu. There have been countless documented near-death experiences of this stage of return. As my experience didn't have a linear sequence of happenings and th...
This is about my wife, Vera Gonzalez, who passed on May 7th, 2016, and the attending physician assistant/NP-C and I witnessed a light orb leave her body within minutes of dying. A concentrated white orb-light came out of her chest through the sternum...
My search for love and acceptance in religion frustrated me in a way that is difficult to describe, since there was a great inconsistency and lack of integrity between the message of love that Jesus had left as a legacy to humanity and its totally un...
At the time of my experience, I was a workaholic. On top of my regular 40 hours a week of work, I was developing a forensic project along with the government to find missing (dead) people in my country. This took another 20 to 30 hours of my week. I ...
I went into this psychedelic journey as I had the many other journeys I always have; with a sense of incredible responsibility, respect, intention and oversight. I started using mushrooms and MDMA as a medicinal tool for my CPTSD a few years prior to...
We had arrived in Key West with our two best friends for our annual trip to south Florida. This trip included visiting Fort Lauderdale for about eight or nine days, with four days in Key West. We always had a blast. We drove from their condominium (c...
This was no dream. It wasn’t a near death experience. I wasn’t drinking and I don’t do drugs. Nothing like this has happened before or after. I’m not a bible pusher but more spiritual than anything. July 17, 11:17 am, 2021 I’ve been self-employed for...
The morning of January 15, 1987, my partner was up early as usual and soon after leaving, he burst back into our Lilliputian room, manic with excitement. The news was that we were flying! He ordered me to get up and get dressed, but I was desperately...
It was April, 1989 and I was 9 years old. I was riding my bicycle in Texas and in my grandparent's neighborhood. I and a neighborhood child, who was one year older than me, built a ramp to jump our bikes toward the direction of the street. As I was c...
Six months before my NDE, I had an incredibly, peculiar dream with elements of deeply religious symbology. The contents of the dream struck me as odd; especially considering at the time I was a devout atheist, and grew up with no religious affiliatio...
I was upstairs, and my brother pushed me from the second story of our house. The straight staircase turned 90 degrees to the main floor. I tumbled down and landed on my neck with my body on top. My mother heard the commotion and ran to the stairs. Wh...
While in the middle of an emergency c-section, I watched myself flatline as my pulse slowed. I heard my mother call out. The room got brighter. It was quiet, but I felt so much love surrounding me. I was standing in a 'room' but it was too bright to ...
I’m really trying to understand what happened to me because I know I didn’t die. I essentially had no heartbeat for less than a second because of a drug I was given to reset a heart arrhythmia. Prior to this experience, I had no frame of reference fo...
My maternal grandfather was fighting in WWII. He was hit by a train and sustained a head injury. His doctors claimed this injury is what caused his brain tumor some 60 years later. It was an inoperable brain tumor, so he started radiation therapy. My...
Prior to the experience: I had ordered a small, hanging stained-glass window with a wisdom quotation on it for my godchild. When it came, it was a pure white statuette of St. Francis Assisi. Puzzled with this, I phoned the company I bought it from an...
I will describe my experience in four parts. Part 1 will explain my traumatic events from the perspective of the people who witnessed my death and rebirth. Part 2 will explain my personal experience while my energy departed and returned to Earth. Par...
I work in a kitchen doing prep work or as line cook; basically anything that needs to be done in the kitchen for the day. I arrived at work at 8am, Monday morning, June 24, 2024. That day I was working what we call Prep 1. I would make all the diff...
In early 2024, I scheduled a minimally invasive elective surgery to have a lipoma on my back removed. Being in good physical condition, I completed my pre-op screenings without issue. On the morning of my surgery, 5-16-2024, I met briefly with my ane...
We were at the table. Cards in hand, music low, laughter bubbling beneath the haze of a passing joint. It was just a normal night in a quiet house. There were no warnings. No signs. Then she walked in. Another joint entered the rotation and made i...
The Historical Background: Over my lifetime, I have often experienced chest pain. Overly ambitious gym workouts and excessive shoveling without warming up properly were often the cause. On one occasion, convinced of angina pain, I presented to the h...
I've had two separate near-death experiences (NDEs) in my life, but I want to focus on my second experience for now. To provide some context, I grew up in a poor environment with my dad and stepmom, both of whom struggled with various mental health i...
Bristol O NDE Home Classification NDE 5538 Bristol O NDE 13171 Experience Description I was thrust suddenly into the darkness of space. I could distantly perceive nebulae and other cosmic structures. I could not remember where I had come from, who I ...
Dying felt like falling backwards into blackness; then it felt like I was sitting up out of my body, then standing facing away from myself. I don't remember if I glanced at the bed or not, but I don't think I felt the need to. I remember thinking...
Copyright Note: Please read and enjoy this experience, as it is a gift from the heart. However, please do not copy and paste any part of this as the experiencer wants the entire story to be understood in its entirety rather than in small parts that ...
My experience was so vast that I cannot fit all the details here, so I will have to leave some parts out. For years, I suffered from an unspecified illness that made it difficult to breathe. I would wake up in the middle of the night gasping for a...
The most commonly reported element of NDEs — a profound, all-encompassing feeling of peace, calm, and well-being that surpasses anything experienced in ordinary life. Often described as being 'bathed in love.'
Descriptions of breathtaking otherworldly environments — meadows of impossible colors, crystal cities, gardens of extraordinary beauty. These realms are often described as more 'real' than physical reality.
Beautiful, otherworldly music is reported in many NDEs — choirs of indescribable harmony, tones that seem to vibrate through the entire being, or sounds that convey emotion and meaning beyond earthly music.
