EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

Basically I remember being in a queue and some people I knew or recognized and some I  didn't. This bits a bit vague. 

The next stage I remember very clearly. I was in a tunnel which seemed to be moving round - rotating. I was not rotating just walking forward.   As I walked through the tunnel the walls were changing color all the time.  The only way I can describe it was it reminded me of a kaleidoscope toy a friend of mine had and the colors moved and were ever changing.  The colors in the tunnel were not so strong.  Remember blues and lemons. As I looked straight ahead I could see a pin head of white -I thought it was the end of the tunnel. It seemed for ever to get to the end and then suddenly all I could see was white light and nothing else. It was bright but didn't hurt my eyes.  I could look into it. Then I heard someone call my name. When I looked I saw a man standing dressed in unusual clothes - non western.  Like a robe but plain.  He had a small child at his side. He reached out his hand and called my name and gestured for me to come over but I would not go.  Next I remember a faint stinging sensation on my face and heard a woman calling my name. I was starting to regain consciousness.  The dental staff were really slapping my face hard to wake me up. 

Told my mum what I experienced and I told her the man was Jesus. She told me not to be so stupid.

Forgot about this incident until about 15 years ago.  I needed my birth certificate and asked my mum if I could have it.  She told it was in a drawer up stairs and just to go and get it.  There were other certificates there.  I came across a birth certificate but the date of birth was wrong.  I thought she couldn't have got my birth date wrong.  Then I looked at the year of birth - it was 10 years before me.  So went downstairs to ask my mum.  She told me it was her first baby that only lived for 2 hours after the birth.  Then my mind went back to the day I was at the dentist - the man I thought was Jesus and I wondered the child beside him was that maybe my dead sister.  This is why I believe this was a near death experience.
