Nancy L's Probable NDE

EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

When I was nine.  My parents were divorcing.  I was sent to my room and my parents were fighting. my father walked in and said, Good bye to me.  As I lay there, in my bed, I became dizzy.  The room started to spin like I was inside a spin cycle of a washing machine, the ceiling opened up and there was a tunnel reaching up to reveal several elderly men with white beards looking down at me.  It appeared this way.  If you were standing at the bottom of a well looking up, then saw several people peering over the rim at you, that is how it looked.  I remember feeling that they were there to help, but, I passed out.  When I woke up things were normal again.  But my father was gone. I would call that out of body?? I am not sure. 

The 2nd experience occurred when I was going through surgery, a routine DNC. The nurse was shaking me and calling my name, but, I did not want to return to my body.  I was having the time of my life on the other side. I remember seeing the dark void of space, then seeing the earth, and it was truly brilliant from a distance.  Next I was enveloped in light.  Don't remember the tunnel, just dancing light and color. I had small children and a husband but I had not been happy.  I remember knowing myself completely, sensing all that was going to happen to me, being showed the future in glimpses.  I was told by "God" who was very present emotionally, but not in a body, that there were many golden opportunities ahead, and this life is a fantastic gift.  I remember feeling the love and fulfillment of being with God and I did not want to leave him or this experience.  I argued about leaving...I was told that God would be available to me back on earth if I asked.  "I am there too, it is you who closed the door between us".  Knowing that God would not desert me if I returned made coming back to consciousness easier.

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     This is hard to explain but I felt everything multidimensional and at many different levels.  Gods voice seem to come from within me and out side me and surround me.

How did you view the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened:            Experience was definitely real    For about 3 days I felt different, like I was floating.  One day I was having a bad day.  Then I remember, God, He said, just ask me for my help.  I did and felt instantly better, I remembered more completely that out of body experience and conversation with God.

Were there one or several parts of the experience especially meaningful or significant to you?    All of it was very meaningful and still gives me goose bumps to remember...after 30 years...the emotional tie is very strong and I sometimes feel homesick for that other world.

Following the experience, have you had any other events in your life, medications or substances which reproduced any part of the experience?         Yes     Prior to dental surgery, I was spinning around and heard a humming noise, then left my body.  I don't remember that adventure but it did remind me of my childhood adventure...at the bottom of a well

Did the questions asked and information you provided so far accurately and comprehensively describe your experience?         Yes     Good questions...somewhat repetitive...but good.
