Question:

Are you sure it was just a dream?

What do you mean? Do you know something I don't know?

Sounds like an out of body experence.

I was in a comma for a couple of weeks do to heart issues. I don't understand yet, and it has been 5 yrs. I was tubed, and in a confirmed state of comma, but I was aware of the people who came to see me, yet I could leave and go anyplace I wanted. One of the nights in which I was critical, my brother-in-law was having his retirement reception. Although, I physically never left my bed. I later told them events that went on that evening right down to, what the place looked like...Several other things came up during that time, even small things that family and friends have gotten chills from.
Out of body experience? You bet ! what a cool dream for you, or maybe insight. Olga

Thank you guys. This is so fascinating!!! I know one thing. Since I have had that dream, I am no longer afraid of dying at all. I just chose to believe that that is the way it is after this life.

I have had this "condition" I call it. I have blaked out for times since the age of five. The doctors can't tell if it is fainting, or seizures.

I know this. Last year, I had two "episodes" at the mall, in front of the kids! God! Well, the second "episode" was the strangest and most frightening episode I ever had. I felt like some spirit had pulled me back to the chair I was sitting on. I felt like I was being pulled, and then I remember feeling extreme fear and anger coming from somewhere. The paramedics were there. I heard one of them scream: "Sharon, look at me. Look at me over here." And, my head turned like someone had their hand on my head. The paramedics went on to tell me that there was nothing wrong with me, of course! They were so damn rude. My doctor told me it was the "vagus nerve" located in the back of your neck that was protesting. Well, for months I could barely leave my house. Any stimuli was too much. This whole thing all started because I could feel this little boy's pain, when he was getting several shots. Eveer since, I have been extremely sensitive to other's plights. I have always had this, working with the homeless for 10 years...only now...it's muich worse. Does anyone know anything about this condition?

you are an empathic

Sharon, do not discount your 'dream', it seems to have been so much more.

I had a spiritual awakening (wrote a book about it all HERE ). later I read about the NDE's and found what I had experienced as being very similar to such happenings.

Wow, that is some kind of experience. I wonder if you are suffering from some kind of medical condition. I had some kind of fainting spells but it was connected to my heart situation and I had to get a pacemaker. I hope that you are o.k. If it is spiritual then I guess it is going to hard on you until you can control it. Best of luck to you.

That sounds much too real to be a dream.

I talk about my nde at the end of this article. It's part of a series I wrote a little bit back.

Thank you so much for the information. Thank you for your concerns about my heart. That is what is so strange, I am "healthy" by all accounts, except for the occasional leave of my senses-I guess you call it. Dreading the next one, made me housebond for awhile. But, then I learned to hypnotize myself and meditate... and I am back to my old self. Thank you so much. I am so grateful for the relationships I have made on this site-you truly are priceless.

Sharon, any fear associated with those experiences are attempting to tell you something ... one, that the experience is an unhealthy one ... or two, that you NEED to get past the unhealthy fear and appreciate the experience for the much more healthy message it may be suggesting, a connection with your own higher spiritual Self.

I say this to you because I have heard of many cases of people that have been on the verge of transcending the "old self" to a much better and more healthy spiritual self/Self relationship ... yet because of their not being aware of what was happening to them, they FEARED any change, thus either stifled it, or went into it believing it negative and then reacting negatively afterwards (thinking they had a 'satanic' relationship) ... but of course it will be all up to you as to how you react and what you believe about it all.

Sharon, In answer to your msg. I know I was near death. The doctors had already told my husband, sons, and the rest of the family it wouldn't be much longer. I was told I was given last rites. I know there was prayer going on...I knew my aunt (who is a very spiritual person ) had flown in from Florida. She also left, before I was lucid. I didn't see any of my family who had passed, (although I dream of them often ) yet during my ordeal I was not aware of them at all. I can't explain what happened to me. A whole team of Doctors can't explain why I'm alive. I sometimes think that maybe I was in a very comfortable place, where my loved ones were still with me, yet I could go any place I wanted to. For instance, I am a Civil War buff. Always have been. During my ordeal, I specifically remember going to visit an old antique shop (That had once been a Monastery)in of all places in Utah. In this shop, I found a display case for sale, with all types of trinkets from the Civil War. I was there for a long time and was treated very well by an order of Monks who still lived in the old monastery. To this day, I can describe the articles I saw there. I was very much at home and even remember the kitchen in the place. Outside, the courtyard was peaceful and unpretentious, beyond that I could see a village, with the type of cottages you see in a Kinkaid painting. But the colors were muted in tones of gray as in a winter scenario. I also went to the reception given for my Brother in law, and I remember details there that still floor me. Like for instance, this woman had obviously had too much to drink, and dropped a lit candle on the carpet. The wax spilled over the carpet, and my sister was rushing to take care of the incident. My sister told me later, that the carpet had been ruined and they had to replace it, and by the way, who told me about it? The unexplained is exactly that. I hope you find your answers, I'm still seeking. I suppose that is good. Not seeking would be hopeless, don't you think? Olga

When the pain is too great you leave your body. You are a natural at out of body experiences. Practice it when you are not in crisis or experiencing someone else's crisis. This will allow you to have more control.

Thank you so much for sharing. Sue!!! I think you have pinned the nail on the head. I know for certain that I am leaving this place...and I would like to "leave" under different circumstances. Thank you so much to all of you. God, Olga, that is truly something!

Jerry,
Will purchase a copy of your book as soon as I can. Please forgive the mess, I'm in a hurry.

Hi Sharon! I am just checking in on you to see how things are going.

Yes. I was hit by a drunk driver 20 years ago and had a mild concussion but they say my heart stopped briefly (I don't recall). I DO recall seeing my long dead grandmother who said, "Stop. Go Back. It isn't time yet". So I did. That was the only time I had an experience like that. Also, when I saw her I felt completely at peace and one with the universe, God or whatever.
