L’on entend généralement par expérience de mort imminente (EMI) :

    « Un état de lucidité où la conscience est perçue comme séparée du corps et qui se
    produit au moment de la mort elle-même ou lorsque la vie se trouve gravement
    menacée. »

L’expérience qui suit fait partie de cette catégorie. Prenez note qu’il n’y pas encore de consensus parmi les chercheurs quant à une définition exacte de l’EMI. C’est pourquoi nous transmettons également des expériences de transformation spirituelle similaires à www.oberf.org .

Les témoignages suivants sont des résumés. Vous aurez accès à la version complète en cliquant sur le nom de la personne.

 

 VV's NDE English expanded version, Swedish expanded version 3/21/02 & 12/8/02 "I saw in all those stitches every event of my life and the bearded man said it wasn't so bad and evened it up with some of the nicer things I had done in my life....I saw the back of the tapestry and I asked why there were so many loose strings, it looked untidy and he said it wasn't finished yet."
She lost her story and didn't realize we had posted it to the website.  12/8/02 she submitted the story again.  Here is a great chance for those interested in NDE memories and integration studies.  Interesting NDE with familiar people in a waiting room.  Perhaps unborn children yet to come?  Powerful analogy with a tapestry of life.

John R's NDE. English expanded version 12/8/02  I arrived after what seemed 5 minutes, to a place I couldn't see but could feel or sense, I felt an overwhelming joy and love come over me like a stream going through my body. I was aware of the presence of "my lady in white" had arrived and she was welcoming me, it wasn't a verbal communication, was more like I could feel what she wanted, I seemed to know the answers to my questions before I finished thinking about them, like I always knew them. I was asked whether I liked it there and did I want to stay.
Child NDE from asthma attack.

Frank A's NDE. English expanded version 12/7/02 In a distance I can see a bright white light as I came closer I can see it's a woman the energy that radiate was "love."  She was pure white light and soft rainbow color came from her heart.  She asked me to walk into her which I did and I felt the magnetic energy of peace, unity, love in it's purest form.  I remember thinking this is where I come from.  She asked me to go in farther.  I came across a wall of books that stood about 30 feet high and went both ways as far as you can see.  I went closer to read the covers, "ENERGY" poured from the wall and came into me I can feel it emptying into me like water until it was just trickling. 
This account shows the integrative aspect of NDE.  Frank submitted it a year ago, and then again yesterday.  Both answers are included for the reader to see what changed and what didn't.

JoAnn M's NDE. English expanded version 11/24/02 At some point, a being came along and took me on a tour of the universe.  I had instilled in me, creation and how the galaxies were created.  I got to visit places that were advanced beyond comprehension, and yet see places that are just starting out!  I was met with such love and compassion that I could care what was going on to my human transporter.  While the paramedics continued to work on me and get me ready for transport, I was too busy playing on a star and meeting my Maker!  It never concerned me there were no bodies, and fear was not in my vocabulary.  Things were assimilated instantly and within that instant, knowledge was completely consumed.  These beings were not male or female.   Since there is no way to measure time, I have no idea how long this went on.  I was shown and told things unimaginable. 
This is an amazing account that will knock your socks off! 
 

Donna W's NDE. English expanded version 11/14/02  I left my body and even at 5 years old I knew I was no longer in my body.  I looked around the operating room and saw the doctors the nurses the equipment.  As I rose higher I was met by a being of pure light.  There was no arms and legs, there was no clothing it was pure light.  It was a very very bright white light, yet it did not bother me to look at it.  The being of light enveloped me but I did not have a body.  I had no form.
Child NDE at age 5 from heart surgery.  Notice the pure acceptance of coming back; No argument, just soul understanding.

Bill W's NDE. English expanded version 10/29/02 and 11/12/02  The grass was so green it hurt to look at it, and it felt so good!  I could even taste the grass by feeling it, it tasted like watermelon.  Walking on the grass was wonderful – it was an incredible feeling.  The best way I can describe it was, “OH MY GOD! WOW!!!”  The sense of smell was not with the nose.  It was more like it permeated through my cheekbones under my eye, like smelling through the sinuses.
This is one of the most amazing accounts with such detailed descriptions of the indescribable!  This is Bill's first time telling his story and it truly is such an honor to hear the account first hand!  ADDENDUM Experience - one amazing story that happened to him after he told his NDE that will send goosebumps up your spine!

Marriette C's NDE. English expanded version 11/11/02 A hazy journey (seemingly short) and I was enveloped in light & exquisite & infinite love. By now I recall this as an ageless soul. I felt as best as I can describe in a state of total bliss, once again there is no language to convey feelings. There seemed to be a collective consciousness who welcomed me but at the same time conveyed the knowledge that I was the one responsible for the decision to stay or go back. I recall these decisions not as a small child but a person with accumulated knowledge to evaluate the choice and make a decision.
This NDE happened when she was 18 months old, with crystal clear memories.  This is amazing because the implications are that the recalled memories could not have been stored or processed in the brain of an 18 month old.  Therefore, the experience would tend to support memories stored in the consciousness that survives the body.

Larry J's NDE. English expanded version 11/11/02I REMEMBER HARDLY ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT THE INCIDENT EXCEPT THE FEELING THAT I HAD LEFT MY BODY AND WAS IN A TUNNEL OF LIGHT. AS I GOT OLDER, I BEGAN TO HAVE A FEELING OF INCREASED SPIRITUAL AWARENESS AND REVERENCE TOWARDS GOD.
Three year old has NDE by electrocution.

Neil H's NDE. English expanded version 11/11/02  I WAS ABOVE THEM ABOUT 25 FEET LOOKING DOWN. I WATCHED THEM REVIVE ME . I THEN WAS BACK IN MY BODY. I REMEMBER THE PLACEMENT OF THE PEOPLE AND THE CLOTHES THEY WORE. I REMEMBER SEEING THINGS IN CINEMA-SCOPE WITH SHARP, CLEAR VISION AND COLORS. NO TUNNEL. NO LIGHTS, BUT IN A CALM PLACE WATCHING EVERYTHING.  THEY CAN'T SEE ME THOUGH.   THEN I WAS THROWING UP AND BACK IN MY BODY.
Five year old child, drowning NDE.  This remarkable account has many typical elements common in child NDEs.  You can see the frustration at spending a lifetime trying to integrate the experience into this reality.  You can also see the beginnings of integration because the second time the experience was submitted (almost a year later) his answers are more accepting of himself, finding answers, and of life on earth.

Bess's NDE. English expanded version 11/11/02  I remember hearing myself say, ‘I'm going to die.’ I wasn't at all upset by this thought. Then there was a brief moment of darkness and next thing, I could see myself lying in what I think was a room. This room was full of light and even though it was a bright light it wasn't like glaring sunlight more of a pleasant golden- white light coming through what may have been a glass wall. I felt very loved at that moment, very much at peace and relaxed. Even though I couldn't see anyone else, I knew I wasn't alone. After a little while I heard a gentle male voice tell me ‘You are going to be alright, you are not going to die.’
NDE caused by post surgical complications.

Soulmates and Consciousness, Part 1, by Jody 11/9/02  As a bit of background, at the IANDS annual conference in 2000, Dr. Jeff Long and I gave a presentation on our research findings regarding soulmates.  I recently started to write up the presentation.  One of the main questions I wanted to find out is if, by including the new data, the results of the study would still hold.  It turned out that we had over two times the data as when we started.  Every question analyzed had such a wealth of information contained in each sub-category that it was impossible to just write- up the Soulmate presentation.  Therefore, I have chosen to write a series of papers based upon the new data and then write a culmination paper on soulmate understandings and incorporating findings of the separate papers.

Jack M's NDE. English expanded version 10/29/02 After a few moments I blacked out. The next thing I knew I was watching a kind of movie of my life. Not a whole life story as some people experience but only some great and happy childhood memories. I don't know how long this lasted but after this I was in a tunnel and out of body. I realized that my body was behind me but I was afraid to turn around and look. But then, being of a nature that is very analytical, I began taking an interest in the tunnel itself. There was an array of colors--not bright like psychedelic colors but rather pastel and soothing. They rotated with the entire tunnel. In a way like colors move in a kaleidoscope.
Drowning NDE with the most amazing recovery!  The first hand comparison and contrasting between hallucinations and NDEs is outstanding and rivals any medical researcher's observations.

Larry L's NDE. English expanded version 10/29/02 After I was there for about a minute, just standing there thinking about how incredibly good I felt, a voice that seemed to be all around me asked, "Do you want to stay or do you want to go back?".  I don't remember if these were the exact words, but that was the meaning implied.  I don't really know for sure if those words were spoken aloud or if they just filled my head so much that they seemed to be spoken.  I knew I had to make a decision, and it was not easy to decide.  I have two daughters who were 8yrs and 12yrs old at the time, and even though I wanted to stay, I answered either to myself or aloud that I needed to go back for them. 
NDE caused from going unconscious during a criminal attack.

Trisha H's NDE. English expanded version 10/29/02 My grandfather walked me back to what seemed like the outskirts of a town that was still in 1945.  At the edge of town was the white light, at that moment I felt a deep sadness for leaving him.  As we walked to the light he gave me a hug, and said, when you have doubt, or sadness, remember this hug and the warm breeze and you will know it was real.  I took in every scent of him.  I even "thought" I caught my hand on a medal on his jacket.  My grandfather and I went to the light and I felt so torn, but with his words of "I love you and I will be here when you are ready, not now for there is so much for you to do."
Childbirth NDE where she visited with her grandfather, learned about the WWII airplane crash, and about her newborn son's diagnosis.

Bob B's NDE. English expanded version 10/29/02  My head suddenly felt very large, I could hear my heart beat. The beat was pounding in a downbeat or decrescendo rhythm. I could now only see a warm orange glow that went to bright white as i felt myself floating away. I could see my body sitting slumped on the edge of the chair below me as i became surrounded by a warm, bright, summer sunshine sort of light. It felt warm. I was so happy in it. The experience felt just so wonderful. I can not find words adequate to express my joy.
This is an experience that happened a mere three-weeks ago and was precipitated by blood clots.  The description of facing death (then and in the future) is truly outstanding.

Diane G's NDE English expanded version 10/13/02.  Suddenly, we burst into the light and a whole new reality was revealed to me, similar to the physical world, but, in this higher vibration, more colorful, more beautiful, more amazing. I saw plants, trees, mountains, lakes, animals, and shimmering crystal-like buildings, some very large and ornate. I saw beings moving about, light beings, going about their daily lives. They don't have physical bodies, but they are distinct fields of energy. They don't walk, they float. They have lives much like ours, but without the struggles and sorrows. They are artists, musicians, dancers, singers, inventors, builders, healers, creators of magical things... things they will manifest in their next lifetime in the physical universe.
Great rafting NDE! A must read because of the vivid NDE descriptions and integration afterwards.

  Madeleine Ss NDE English expanded version (translated by Lisa), Swedish expanded version  10/13/02. OUR FIRST SWEDISH EXPERIENCE!  Then I remember I was in a dark place that seemed to be spinning around me, but after a while I noticed it was me that was "drawn" forward at high speed towards a small light. I stopped there and felt rather sad because I thought I had really died, and I grieved the loss of my daughter, that I wouldn't be able to see her any more (she was 7 years old at the time). 
Dentist chair NDE with a message about her life mission.

Ginny S's NDE: English expanded version,   Swedish expanded version, 10/12/02 I felt like there was a presence with me, keeping me calm and reassuring me things were going to be okay.  But, I never saw anything or anyone and I never talked to anything or anyone.  I just didn't feel alone.  It's difficult to describe.  I didn't feel like anything or one was there, I just didn't feel as if I was isolated going through everything by myself either.
NDE that was in the beginning of the OBE stage.  Although relatively recent and still integrating the experience, there are already some spiritually transforming effects.

Steven B's Experience.  10/3/02 I absolutely knew I had left the physical world and had left my physical form, as though there was a wall (not a physical wall) between my current state and my former physical state. I knew that I was not a great distance from my former state, but was separated from it.  The 1st thing that came to me after a while (I have not sense of how long) was an overwhelming sadness, because it occurred to me that my leaving my physical form (my death) would bring great sadness to my family and those that i loved, this knowledge that my leaving would bring great sadness to their lives made me very sad. 
This is a unique blend of a dream and an OBE.  There is also a woman on the other side that could be his soulmate, higher self, or a member of his soul-cluster group.

  John L's NDE: English expanded version, Swedish expanded version 10/3/02   I could see people below me at what felt like another level.  I didn't feel as though I were floating above them, but just that I was at a higher viewing position, but my feet rested on air.  I could see thousands and thousands, if not millions of people moving about aimlessly.  Each person emitted strong feelings of foreboding, pain, and fear.  "These are the lost," a voice told me. 
Violent death and a Hellish NDE that totally changed his life around.

  Suzanne F's NDE: English expanded version 9/27/02 BEFORE I DID AWAKE, ALL I CAN REMEMBER IS I WAS IN A WIDE TUNNEL. THE LIGHT WAS VERY BRIGHT. I WAS CALLING OUT FOR MY MOTHER. I COULD ONLY WHISPER FOR HER. THEN A VOICE  VERY SOOTHING AND COMFORTING! VOICE, SAID, DON'T TALK, SAVE YOUR ENERGY. I WAS AWAKE AND SCARED. I THEN CALLED FOR MY MOTHER AGAIN. I REMEMBER IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO TALK.
Blood clot in the lungs caused this NDE.  The interesting feature is that although she perceived later she was talking to God, when she initially tried to make sense of the NDE, she described the figure as her mother but as a man's voice.
 

Sheila B's NDE: English expanded version, Swedish expanded version  9/7/02  "My heart stopped as I delivered my already dead daughter. I saw a beautiful light and my father holding a baby. I tried to reach them, I wanted to touch them both. My father shook his head no and said not yet, she's beautiful and she's safe." 
This was submitted on the ADC website, but is really an NDE (near-death experience)


Kandy V's NDE English expanded version, Swedish expanded version  9/3/02. While I was under general anesthesia, I simply sat up and got out of my sick body.  I remember seeing the operating table and the medical staff around my physical body in my peripheral vision.  Right out in front of me was a being, with a material body, but not like a physical body.  Its arms (I use the word loosely) were opened out to me and I climbed into its lap.  I was laughing and crying at the same time.  I said ( we spoke with thoughts which seemed perfectly normal at the time) "I almost stopped believing in you." The being kind of chuckled and said "Well here I am." 
She was shown the threads of love connecting herself and her children.


Kathy's NDE English expanded version, Swedish expanded version  8/24/02. "When I initially entered the room or area the people I knew were in deep none verbal discussion. They seemed to be in disagreement.  As my body traveled and I reached the end area the person or death angel offered his hand and said, take my hand and I will take you there. This was audible.  I screamed No!!!! and at that time I knew what my Grandfather and the others were in disagreement about.
Heart seizure cause her to be escorted by the angel of death to a conference room.
 

Myra E's NELE. Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 8/6/02.  We got closer and closer to that light. I began to feel warmth and a feeling of being drawn to that warmth. Is it corny to say that I just "knew" that if I could reach that light that everything would be okay. It was everything we love wrapped up into light. It was the feeling of home, family, reassurance and love. It was a feeling of belonging that I have never found since. Then the shadow beside me abruptly stopped. We had not yet reached the end and the light and we stopped. "Why?" I asked. "You have to go back now" the shadowy figure said softly, "You can't stay."
Wow!  This is a nearing end of life experience (NELE) where the granddaughter walked with her grandfather through the death experience - described just like a typical NDE.  The interesting part is that Myra describes it as a dream, yet didn't realize it was her grandfather with her until someone later told her that her grandfather had died.

Karen D's NDE. Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 8/4/02. "Then felt like I was just in the dark somewhere.  I must have really been struggling.  I remember a male being.  I remember him talking or mentally communicating with me.  He kept telling me that it was ok to die, to quit fighting so hard and to just give up.  He was there for a long time.  All of a sudden it was like he slipped up some how.  I felt that he was evil & trying in my mind to get me to commit suicide by giving up.  I remember asking God to help me & the evil being was gone.  Then I remember being in a very brightly lighted place."
NDE from pneumonia and sepsis.  She argued with the devil and then went to heaven to talk with God!

 Guenter W's NDE. FROM GERMANY Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/30/02. "Since Christmas 1980, I have been able to establish a personal relationship with the being of light by way of internal fights, visions and auditions and I am now in a position to go public with my experience. In 1980/81 I couldn’t write down my experience in German, and even today there is no German translation, because I have not yet had the inner O.K. from the being of light who is our Lord Jesus Christ."
Wow! This is a tremendous and profound NDE account!

  Sylvia W's NDE. Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète   7/30/02. I could see without eyes, hear without ears, communicate without mouth or other body parts.  I knew everything past and present.  I felt that I was in my natural state and the body was the temporary unnatural state.  I was home were I belonged.  Where I wanted to be. 
This NDE has so much insight into the after-effects that one experiences trying to integrate the NDE.  This is a must read for medical personnel!  Sylvia is a retired nurse turned artist. 

 Corina's NDE. Version anglaise complète 7/30/02. The feeling that I experienced is somewhat hard to explain , but I will try my best. All and any abuse or pain that I experienced in my life, whether it be physical, emotional, or mental, was completely gone and in its place, an intense love, acceptance, devotion, and sense of well-being was put. For one second...I understood it all, so simple, but then it was gone ...as if we are not meant to understand "ALL".
NDE from hemorrhaging after surgery.  There are some strong veridical perception components to this account since she described the resuscitation efforts to the Doctor so completely, he couldn't get out of the room fast enough!

Robert C's NDE. Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/30/02. "I saw a bright blue light surrounding a white soft glow, shot through the light at what seemed a million miles an hour, stopped and was standing(?) on a sill looking in at all the souls who ever were or ever would be, the nearest were familiar, an aunt and some others from the past. I was told I had a choice to stay or go back. I was there for a long time deciding."
NDE caused from a car-train accident.

EMI de J.R. M. Version française complète, Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/23/02. « Je faisais partie d’un dessein plus vaste et je ressentais les trois âmes dans l’ambulance avec moi – non seulement leur présence, mais aussi leur amour, leur cœur, leurs émotions, leurs sentiments, des impressions physiques et mentales. Je les entendais penser, je ressentais les soins prodigués par leurs mains; je les ai regardées dans les yeux une à une et j’ai vu, non seulement leur futur physique immédiat, mais aussi leur passé. J’ai également noté la présence d’animaux et d’autres âmes autour de moi, comme ce chauffeur d’autobus en colère à Seattle, cette femme qui tuait une araignée importune à Ripley, WV, cet insecte qui percutait un train à Oklahoma. Toutes ces impressions étaient ressenties en une fraction de seconde mais semblaient durer une éternité. » 
Ce témoignage fait clairement ressortir la connexion étroite qui existe entre tout ce qui vit. On note aussi une grande transformation spirituelle et l’émergence de buts nouveaux à la suite de l’EMI.

EMI de Sherry G. Version française complète, Version anglaise complète, Version polonais complète, Version suédoise complète  7/22/02. « J’avais trouvé l’AMOUR! J’observais mon esprit quitter mon corps et se libérer du monde de la chair. Je pouvais me voir passer au travers d’un tunnel de lumière qui représentait la liberté – c’est difficile à décrire en termes physiques. Tout était simultané, l’amour, la liberté, la libération et l’unité de tout ce que nous sommes. J’étais tout à coup en présence de puissants esprits et de beaucoup d’amour. Ces esprits me réconfortaient et me préparaient à ce qui allait suivre. Leur amour était d’une totale sérénité. »
Ce témoignage reflète le pouvoir transformateur de l’EMI. Sherry partage les détails les plus intimes de sa vie difficile afin que les effets de son EMI, c’est-à-dire l’intégration et les triomphes, trouvent une résonance chez les autres.

EMI de Bonnie S. Version française complète, Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/22/02. « C’était la première fois en cinq ans que je ressentais de la chaleur. La lumière était vraiment resplendissante et chaleureuse, une nuance de jaune. (Je disais aux gens que si la lumière était aussi brillante, ils en seraient aveuglés.) C’était brillant, mais aussi chaleureux et apaisant. Je pouvais entendre des voix qui ne m’étaient pas familières. Au début, je ne comprenais pas. C’est devenu clair. Ce n’était pas mon heure, je voulais rester. J’étais en paix. »
L’imagerie classique d’une EMI, causée ici par une fièvre septique.  

 EMI de Arielera. Version française complète, Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/7/02. « Le conjoint auquel je me réfère a été rencontré et marié, et l’est resté, dans cet état de conscience alternatif. Sur ce plan-ci, je ne connais personne comme ça. En fait, il y aura 15 ans cette année que je suis veuve et un second mariage ne fait pas partie de mes plans. Aucun souvenir de l’institution elle-même. Après être revenue de cet état, j’ai vécu le processus normal du deuil, ayant dû le laisser derrière moi. »
Cette EMI étonnante résultait d’une tentative de suicide. Arielera a bu de la paraffine liquide, a perdu conscience et s’est réveillée trois semaines plus tard. Son expérience est une vie parallèle vécue en accéléré, dans un autre lieu d’existence. Pas étonnant qu’il soit aussi difficile de relater cette histoire, puisque le contexte se situe dans une réalité alternative!    

EMI de David H. Version française complète, Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/7/02  PREMIÈRE PARTIE : « Sa lumière était d’une beauté indescriptible, Sa lumière ressemblait à celle du soleil levant. Et, comme le soleil, « Il » s’éleva dans le ciel derrière les montagnes. L’amour pénétra mon être tout entier et mon âme s’en trouva revitalisée. La planète aussi changeait sous l’effet de Sa lumière. J’ai vu des sommets de montagnes s’ouvrir béant et rejaillir comme d’immenses chutes d’eau. »  7/23/02 DEUXIÈME PARTIE : « Ici, toutes les pensées sont captées, alors il est inutile d’essayer de cacher une intention. À la place, on doit l’exprimer. Je lui ai donc demandé brutalement « qui êtes-vous? » Alors, elle a retiré une partie du voile qui couvrait sa face. Je n’ai vu que des os, un crâne. La mâchoire grande ouverte, comme disloquée, elle s’est élevée, complètement dépouillée de sa robe, et elle est redescendue vers moi pour mordre mon corps spirituel à l’épaule gauche. La douleur était si grande que c’était pire que la mort. Et, comme elle allait prendre une nouvelle bouchée dans mon corps spirituel, je me suis mis à genoux pour invoquer Dieu. »
David nous a raconté son histoire par étapes, selon sa disponibilité. Cela valait la peine d’attendre car il s’agit d’une expérience vraiment remarquable! Cette EMI est spéciale car celle-ci nous montre que les gais ne vont pas en enfer tel que certains extrémistes fondamentalistes aimeraient qu’on le croit.   

EMI de Vickie M. Version française complète, Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/3/02. « J’avais l’impression que je me regardais, là en bas, pendant un bref instant, et puis, il y eut une impression de paix et de calme réel. Je n’étais plus apeurée ni souffrante. Je me souviens que j’étais dans un endroit magnifique et vaste; des paysages renversants avec des arbres, des lacs, des cascades; tout était bleu.»
EMI remarquable due à un accident de voiture durant lequel elle a cru voir son grand-père décédé avant sa naissance.  

 Bonnie V's NDE. Version anglaise complète 7/3/02.  Dying....or dead? All I know, is I went from being terribly bone deep chatteringly cold and bleeding in an ambulance, to the brightest and warmest place imaginable. These are not facile descriptors... the light was like an explosion of golden yellow, accompanied by the most exquisite warmth. It is not enough to say it enveloped me...it WAS me, a mellow sun, a languorous day, a paradise of contentment. All was one. It was the most sublime pleasure I have ever felt. I basked in this place, even as I thought... "I am dying"
Great story, and wonderful after affects - nursing career and hospice work!

Don A's NDE. Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/3/02. I was then startled (not frightened or perceiving a threat) to see the light take shape (like smoke or cloud) then suddenly come around and over the door towards me. It seemed to wrap itself around me and as it did I felt a tingling all over, and the words came to me (not sure if spoken), "All things of the Earth will pass away.". I then began to feel a great love and a peace that was indescribable. It felt as if the light was lifting me.
NDE from heart-attack, with a great description of how his non-physical body looked.

Paul H's NDE. Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/3/02.  I did not hear noise or speech and the feeling in general was peaceful.  I was not afraid, only taken away and taking the experience in.  I would like to experience the same thing again, as it was very special.  Then suddenly I must have regained consciousness again and I was normally sitting in the car.
Teenage NDE from car racing.

Tara's NDE. Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète 7/3/02. I still couldn't feel or hear but I saw a lady standing a couple of meters away from me. This lady was white. She had a long white see through dress with long white hair, she seemed to glow. I was wondering why she wasn't helping me. She just stood there and smiled at me.
Child NDE knocked unconscious from falling from a 20 meter cliff, where she met her guardian angel. 

George M's NDE. Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète  7/3/02. Although the sequence of my experience is sketchy, I remember being underwater as past images and experiences flashed before my eyes and in my mind.  While i was under, I saw what I figured at the time was the sun. 
Teenager drowning NDE talking about a beginning encounter with the light.

 Melanie's SMR:  Version anglaise complète  6/20/02.  I have an experience to share: First off, I have learned to relate and respect cluster groups; I have a memory from before I was born, and remember being a part of a "circle of souls" so interconnected and intertwined that we did not seem to think much of our own consciousness. 
This may be a very short account, but it talks of soul cluster groups (one of the surprising findings from our NDE research) and discovery of her soul mate.

  Arthur S's NDE. Version anglaise complète, Version suédoise complète  6/20/02. I was floating outside of my car looking down on myself slouched over both driver seat, and front front passenger seat  What really makes me think I was dead for  a short period is that everything was in reverse just as you experience in the negative of film.  Everywhere that should have black was white, and everything that should have been white was black.  I was there, suspended in mid-air, seeing myself dead.
Although Arthur views his experience as an OBE, he was unconscious and described himself as "dead" during the experience.  There was a separation of consciousness apart from his body and the experience was lucid.
