Andrea K Possible NDE

Experience Description

I felt as if I was squeezed through a dark tube of some kind. I imagine birth could be like it. It felt heavy and hard to squeeze through. When I was out of this dark tube, I felt great. I had no physical body. I was seeing and feeling but I had a body that looked like transparent!!!! But my thinking was normal. Through all of this, I have felt someone next to me. I think it was a woman because it had woman's voice but she did not speak with her mouth. This woman??? showed me things I do not remember all. She said to me, 'This is what it will be like when you come here.' I then saw a seashore, or something like it, and the air seemed to be blue. All was blue.

I felt as if I was looking from the right upper corner from somewhere and I felt her next to me at all times. She was so calm. I saw people on this seashore and I seemed to know these people even though I have never seen them in this dimension. I felt such love and I felt so much love from them. There was one woman she seemed to be close to me. I was able to hold her hands, we looked at each other, and I felt love yet sadness. Then this Being next to me said that it was time to go now and I will see them again but it was not my time yet. I did not wish to go - I begged to stay and then I felt this dark tight tube around me again and at this moment, I heard the nurse call my name. I even cried when I woke up from surgery. The nurse told me that I was saying that I do not wish to come back and she had to slap my cheeks several times. Since then I feel sort of homesick. I wished to experience this again. I think I feel less afraid of death now.
