John A Probable NDE

Experience Description

I was asleep. At 3:00 a.m. I was in a white room. There was no physical sensation. I don’t think sight would adequately describe what my experience was. It was more of a communication by knowing what was being communicated to me.

There was a Being in front of me; or a better description would be that the being existed in the same universe as I did. I assumed the being was male. He was composed of a different shade of white. He asked me what I had learned and who I had helped during my time on the physical earth. Every memory I had was taken from me.

I asked, “Is it over?” I knew rather than heard that the choice at that time was mine.

I have a service dog.

My chest erupted in pain. My service dog was digging at my chest. I was back on earth.
