Re: Near Death Experiences Jenny Sun May 10 20:19:11 1998 *br*>>I remember the world then disappearing into a blackness before my eyes.<< *p*That's very, very similar to what I felt! (I guess I'm a little surprised because I haven't met many other people with NDE experiences, and the other folks all saw bright lights.) I was watching my body from behind, but everything around us was grey, almost black. Later, I figured that was just because I was in water. But I was only 4-5 feet down -- the water shouldn't have been that dark. *p*>>I have been through that barrier several times since that first time. It is not very easy anymore for me to stay here.<< *p*Do you ever have spontaneous out-of-body experiences? One of the things I've noticed since my NDE is that I will occasionally have these uncontrolled "projections", so to speak. Sometimes they're lucid dreams of a sort. Usually it's I get up, go to the bathroom, and then suddenly I realize that I left my body back in the bed. And if my bladder really does let go at this moment, I'm going to be foully unhappy. *p*The more common and more unsettling ones are suddenly being in someone else. These projections only last a micro-second; but they're very startling. Like, the other night my husband and I were driving past an office building. I looked up, saw a man looking out the window at me. And suddenly I was in the building, looking out at cars passing, and was vexed with the men who'd laid the carpet because they hadn't fitted it into the corner properly. Then wham, I was back in the car, slightly disoriented. This only seems to happen when I make eye contact with someone (or some animal) -- so I don't worry about it affecting my driving. <g> And it's always accompanied by a "snap-shot" impression of what the person was thinking. As if I was them, for a moment. *p*They're the oddest things! *p*Jenny Re: Near Death Experiences Topaz Owl 18 Sun May 10 20:18:14 1998
