Carmen J NDE

Experience Description

I was in an infrared frequency, where everything was sepia tone.

I was put in a bath to clean off, and then passed out as I got out of the bath. What I saw was all in sepia orange tone: my body being lifted up by my significant other. I looked like a rag doll. I was naked and a river of reddish brown was flowing out of my mouth down my chest and down my thighs. All fluids were being released from my body.

I thought it was fascinating. I observed from the ceiling. I was pulled further and further away. I just kept looking at the frantic person holding the rag doll that kept slipping through his hands as it spewed the rivers of brown on the body. I was definitely separate from that body that was more like a garment, a space suit. I was whirling up, up, up. Then, from far away, I heard this desperate yelling noise. I didn't recognize the sound. As I focused on the sound, I was being drawn to the sound until I got close enough to it, to distinguish it. It was my SO who was frantically calling my name, 'Carmen! Carmen! Carmen!' At that moment, I was back in my body, and then just passed in and out of consciousness until the paramedics arrived.

I was taken to the hospital. I don't remember the ride, but I was fine in the morning. The experience was not speeded up like when I was in a car accident. It was much different.

Other I returned to breathing before the paramedics arrived. I took bee pollen in raw juice drink and became dizzy and nauseous before I started to experience severe vomiting.

How do you consider the content of your experience? Entirely pleasant

The experience included: Out of body experience

Did you feel separated from your body? Yes I saw myself lose all bodily fluids, but it looked beautiful, like waterfalls. The colors were all reddish brown and my hair was long and dangling, like a rag doll. My body was limp. I could see someone holding my body. At first, it didn't look like it was me. It was just an interesting spectacle to look at. I clearly left my body and existed outside it

How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal everyday consciousness and alertness? More consciousness and alertness than normal There was no emotion; I was floating with a calm state of mind.

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness? When I was watching my body below me, which was midway through the experience and right at the point where I recognized the voice calling me back to earth.

Were your thoughts speeded up? No

Did time seem to speed up or slow down? Everything seemed to be happening at once; or time stopped or lost all meaning Things were in slow motion it seemed, by my observation. But I felt normal.

Please compare your vision during the experience to your everyday vision that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience. I have seen out of body people before. And, also in a car accident, I saw everything flash in front of me in slow motion or simultaneously. I had an experience before. But this was really interesting that it was not in Technicolor. There was no Technicolor at all, just sepia tones of oranges, reds and dark browns.

Please compare your hearing during the experience to your everyday hearing that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience. The sound was just so peaceful until I heard (from a faraway place like I was in a tunnel where I could not hear well). Then the sound was muddled and I was curious. So I paid attention to the sound as I seemed to move closer to the sound, and then realized it was someone calling out my name.

Did you seem to be aware of things going on elsewhere? No
