Jack D NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I  was on a "mission" to NYC to buy some heroin and went to my contacts house and bought 3 bags ( $10.00ea.) and I sniffed one bag at his apartment to "test" it out and was walking down the stairs to leave when the 1st wave hit me , I thought to myself, "WOW" this dope is really good , because I was sweating and was really "high" .So I went and drove back upstate (approximately 30 miles) before I had to pull over and let my friend drive . I sniffed another bag in the back seat and went on a "nice nod" and soon we were at my house where they dropped me off and then they went home . I went to my apartment and told my wife at the time , that I was going to go take a shower and then watch a little TV.  and I would be in bed in a bit . She looked at me and said , "you don't look too good , what did you take? I told her I ate a lot of percodan (that was prescribed to me ) so she said o.k. and she went to bed , in the meanwhile , I sniffed the last bag , don't ask me why , I don't know , I was really blasted and didn't need it , however I did it any way . I went into the bathroom and took a shower and dried myself off and went into the living-room with my hairbrush and sat down in the recliner to watch TV and brush my hair.

I don't even remember falling asleep but the next thing that happens to me is I an standing in a corner of the living-room between the china cabinet and the closet and everything is in black and white like an old movie , however there was my wife sitting on the recliner where I last remember being and there are two paramedics over a naked body (I couldn't see who it was at the time) and they were talking to each other and my wife but I couldn't hear what was being said nor could I move from that corner . I was able to see my middle son in my bedroom sitting on my bed bouncing my newborn son in his arms really nervously and the paramedic (one of them ) turned to my wife and held up a syringe in his right hand and he spoke something to my wife and she nodded her head as if to say "yes" then after the paramedic gave the person on the floor the shot , he moved a little to the left and I saw it was me , well needless to say this "bugged me out" and I couldn't believe what I was witnessing , the paramedic turned around and grabbed a defibrillator from the side of him and I watched him hit me once with the paddles.  At that moment in time it looked as if I was watching "snow" on a TV screen then the picture came back and I watched him hit me the second time and again , "the snow' except I was now conscious and was pissed off that they had "ruined my dream" that I was having.

He told me ,"Jack you did too much drugs tonight we need to get you to the hospital very fast or we may loose you again ! I  told him "oh hell , do whatever you want" and they took me to the hospital , while in the hospital I told my wife what I had witnessed in great detail and I actually saw the hair on the back of her neck "stand right up" she then told me the only way that I could have seen that was if I was conscious and observing it , I told her what she was doing , what my son was doing and everything that the paramedics were doing , however , "I HAD NO PULSE OR RESPIRATION" LATER THE NEXT DAY MY SON TOLD ME THAT "GOD" Woke him up and told him that his father is dying , go get your mother and help him , now my son was 8 years old and always slept like a rock and wouldn't get up at 4am for nothing ! Yet that morning he did and I believe that a higher being was allowing me to witness the trauma that my family was going through and what it would do to them if I died , LESSON LEARNED .THIS WAS THE FIRST OBE OF 2 WHERE I WITNESSED WHAT WAS GOING ON AND 2 MORE THAT WERE MORE DREAM LIKE MESSAGES WHILE I WAS IN TRANSIT TO THE HOSPITAL . If you want those stories for your research , please cal me due to the sensitivity of the circumstances. Thank You for letting me share that with you , the outcome of the 1st incident changed my lifestyle to this date , the others were due to rapid illness onset while I was asleep.
