CN Possible NDE

Experience Description

Before the event, I was having a rather pleasant moment in showering with my lover. I started to feel too hot, much too hot. Then I started seeing colors instead of my normal vision. I felt that I was leaning against the wall behind me, and then was sliding down to the ground. I lost consciousness.

I had an experience that I wouldn't have shared here if it didn't resemble an NDE. While I was still aware, my sight was replaced by moving colors. In the middle of the moving colors, it looked like there was an opening. I could see something like domes, half spheres situated at the ground, which consisted of many glass triangles placed side by side. There were two of these domes. It was as if my vision was only 10% of my normal vision and only in the center of my normal vision. I felt really well, as if I was sleeping and really relaxed. < br>
Then I regained consciousness very fast. I was sitting on the floor, with my knees folded in front of me. My lover was shaking me and called me by my first name. He was terrified. I was still very relaxed, and didn't have the impression that there might be any problems. I told him immediately 'I saw domes' while he was still asking me if I was conscious. Then I started to feel cold and started feeling bad. I got out of the shower from there, had terrible nausea, and vomited. Then I remained there, at least five full minutes. I wasn't moving and was trying to get warmer. I got dressed. Then I had to go to toilet, suddenly I had diarrhea, nothing else after that. I rested for the rest of the evening in a state of tiredness and fragility.

I noticed that another NDEr reported something similar to mine: ‘a rounded structure whose surface was made of multiple facets in the shape of triangles. I was wondering of what material they consisted as I touched one. It had an aspect of glass, was warmer and softer than glass, even though it had its transparency.' Murielle T NDE

NDE Elements:

At the time of your experience, was there an associated life-threatening event? Uncertain Malaise. J'étais avec mon amant dans une douche mal aérée, et me suis évanouie pour quelques instant Illness, trauma or other condition not considered life threatening I fainted; as no doctor could do a diagnosis at the spot, I don't know to what extent it was serious. I was in the shower. My vision was progressively replaced by colors, and I felt myself leaning against the wall behind me, and sliding down to the ground. Then I completely lost consciousness for about ten or so seconds. I had a kind of dream in that moment. Then I felt very cold, vomited and had diarrhea. I was fine after that. I was together with my lover in a badly ventilated shower, and fainted for a few moments.

Did you have any knowledge of near death experience (NDE) prior to your experience? No

What did you believe about the reality of your experience shortly (days to weeks) after it happened? Experience was probably not real I was certain that it was but a dream, mainly due to the reaction of my lover, by imitation. Yet now I remember that at the moment, the vision marked me.

What do you believe about the reality of your experience now? Experience was probably not real I don't think that it was real in the sense that I don't think that my eyes 'saw' what I 'saw'. I don't think that the experience was part of the reality, as we know it here by living it.

At any time in your life, has anything ever reproduced any part of the experience? No

Is there anything else that you would like to add about your experience? I was outside of the domes. I don't remember the ground. I believe that the sky was blue, quite relaxed. There was an atmosphere of calm, of a serene void, but as if I was feeling a quite important activity, an important role, in or beyond the domes. The atmosphere was strange, one could say a bit like a video game, an uncluttered set of the scene, but strangely modern, or futuristic. I already felt similar sensations when playing some car race games. Some kind of scenic design.
