Donna S Probable NDE

When I flat lined at first there was nothing.  Then there was an extraordinary bright (white) light.  Very, very, bright.  Then it started to change to a beautiful blue.  An indescribable blue.  Then suddenly I was back.  The Dr.'s had to shock me back to life.  The first thing the nurse to my left said to me was did I see the light. When I came back I was very emotional and crying.  I didn't even know what had happened.  They had to remind where I was and why I was there.  The word children was in my head right away and I couldn't stop thinking about the word children for weeks.  I was also depressed. When I was at home recovering my dreams at night were about angels.  I was really seeing them a lot in my dreams when I slept. The experience put question toward my beliefs.

            Unsure.  I guess I knew I was seeing the light but I can't really comment on consciousness.

Did your vision differ in any way from your normal, everyday vision (in any aspect, such as clarity, field of vision, colors, brightness, depth perception degree of solidness/transparency of objects, etc.)?  Yes     Seeing the extraordinary white light and the change into the blue light that I have never seen before.

Did your hearing differ in any way from your normal, everyday hearing (in any aspect, such as clarity, ability to recognize source of sound, pitch, loudness, etc.)?            Uncertain

What emotions did you feel during the experience?            I think it was too quick to realize any experience.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience?    Yes     No effect.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:            Experience was definitely real    I was depressed.  I felt that I should have seen more proof of the other side.  I had more questions then answers after my NDE.

Have your religious beliefs/practices changed specifically as a result of your experience?            Uncertain      I have more questions now.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         No      

Is there anything else you would like to add concerning the experience?        Since the NDE.  I no longer wear a watch.  I have always worn a watch but now watches stop working when I wear them.
