Hal R NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I sustained a major brain injury, broken back and rib cage, this was a bicycle/moving van accident, I came to in the ambulance, and some later time in the emergency room I passed out, what actually happened was my lungs collapsed and I stopped breathing.

After awakening in the hospital, three days later, I was groggy, not knowing where I was or what happened. After a while I started to pieced together what happened. I could remember bicycling, waking up in the ambulance, then going blank.

What I remembered next was moving down a "hallway" but not really a hallway and going by "scenes with remembrance" and thinking I remember that, and I should go in there, but I didn't. There were many of these "scenes", one after another, but I did not go into them, as I was coerced to keep going.

I came to the end of this "hallway" it opened up to an infinitely large space.  In this space, there were an infinite amount of from what I could describe would be souls communicating with each other simultaneously. I was in awe at the magnitude of thoughts being communicated between these souls. I could focus in on one area and pick out the "conversation". What I really mean was that thoughts wee being directly spread between these souls, no words were spoken. Also I did not see anything, no light or darkness. I could just sense these communications and I was overwhelmed, not by fear but by joy. Then I was forced, how I don't know, to turn back, and traveled back down the "hallway" past the same scenes I came in with. I remember that I really wanted to go into this one scene to greet them, but I was forced on and the hallway faded out and that was the end.

And I don't remember who those entities were.
