Brenda S NDE

Experience Description

I was about to collapse, dizzy headed. I got about one foot towards the floor when I was running in a beautiful euphoric lily field, a bright sunny day, long grass, a fence, a tree; I was wearing a white veil over my body. I could feel the beauty and love in me, surrounding me. I could also see myself through an eye shape, just watching and being myself at same time. I was beautiful and healthy again, unlike the state I was in on earth. I was laughing, unlike earth. I was running to meet people I knew, but I didn't know anything else such as who I was.

I was brought around with water being thrown over me. I saw the criminal first, I said to myself, 'He's not God!' Then all the voices entered my head again, I said, 'Oh, no!' I asked my daughter how long I was out; she said five minutes.

I didn't mention the experience to the criminal or anyone for a long time. I went to hospital for blood test. I looked up NDEs in the library, where I found out the dress I had on was called a veil.
