Experience Description

I was under sedation for tooth extraction. Felt myself moving what seemed like I was traveling through space seeing points of light all around me. I dropped into a place was all white could see 2 figures knew I belonged with them as I stood with them could feel someone behind me but up higher. I remember a brief moment of realization, everything became clear to me in my head saying now I remember it was like rush of memory, then sadness. Next the dentist was shaking me and asking were did you go. I have never forgotten the feelings and the memory of it. dont know if this was a NDE but it stayed with me for over 50 years. I have had numerous experiences with family that has passed and most recently with a dear friend.
