Bahman R NDE

Experience Description

I fell and hit the back of my head on the ground. I felt so much pain! I think that my body was unable to tolerate so much pain.

I saw a white space and then I began seeing the tunnel. It was a black and white color combination over the walls of the tunnel. The tunnel walls had images of somebody that was familiar to me. I think they were my parents and my grandfather who had died years before the time of NDE. I remember that I was watching my past years of life and the different events flashed by at an unbelievable speed.

When I woke up, that was the weirdest thing I ever experienced I ever had. How is possible to see so many events in these few seconds!!?? I can say that during those moments, I felt half peace and half horror. I don't remember what the events in the life review were, even after I woke up. But I can say, some events that I was watching over the walls of the tunnel were horrible and some were peaceful. I remember the darkness. There was a deep darkness in the last episode of my NDE experience. The tunnel faded and then began the absolute darkness.

After that, I began to gradually realize my earthly environment. I saw two people near me. I asked them, ‘How long was I was asleep?’ They told me about 10-20 seconds. After that, I realized what was happening. I felt peace like the calm after the typhoon. In one or two hours, I was in a strange peaceful feeling and then I became completely normal.
