Dan NDE

Experience Description:

When I was sixteen years old I was driving home with my dad from the mall. When we got side swiped by a passing speeding car changing lanes too fast. We were pushed into a transport trailer and dragged under for about two hundred feet. My dad was almost not injured, the car hit on his side, but we hit the transport on mine (three lanes of traffic on the Queensway). I was pretty much in and out of it through most of the time spent still in the car, emergency crews trying to get me out into the ambulance; my dad was already gone in another. Once I was in the ambulance on the way to the hospital, I was more alert and taking to the paramedics. (This is why I now never forget to where medical alert.) I was in a lot of pain and I remember one of the paramedics saying to me, 'You're a lucky kid you know that.' He then prepared a syringe and gave me a shot of medication, not knowing I have a very serious deadly reaction to penicillin. The drug he gave me had some in it. (Penicillin helps fight bacteria in the blood stream after one suffers from large deep wounds.) It was only a matter of a few seconds when my vision went dark. I could not breath; I could still hear the paramedics too. They were freaking out.

Suddenly I felt as if I could breathe again, no effort. And I could see a small white light in the center of my vision, kind of at the end of a tunnel with an orange glow. I started to move through the tunnel. I thought, I'm dead and that's it. I had no sensation of the pain I felt before, completely out of body, but one hundred percent consciousness. Then I remember seeing an image in my head, something told me and imprinted I guess, the knowhow of what I was seeing, and it was crazy as it is, the universe. Kind of like a giant bluish see-through egg, with millions and billions of light points, different colors, on the outside and inner. All connected by darker blue links, full of different kinds of life. I only saw this for a second or two but knew the 'Scientifics' to it; it's very hard to explain.

The next thing was that I was back in the 'tunnel' all different colors now, colors I haven't seen before, maybe not on 'OUR' spectrum. There was also too a gentle chiming noise, with a tune to it, it was comforting. The colors seemed to change with the notes. This experience at this point gave me a sense of energy, and happiness, not to fear anything, that all is going as it's supposed to be. I also had the sense that I knew the answer to everything, I was awe struck that I knew 'everything' but it made me feel more and more content. I remember seeing the silhouette of someone at the end of the tunnel. He was speaking to me in emotions through thought, again, feeling more comfort and happiness. When I got to the end of the tunnel it was like a big white room with a bright glow to it, and there was the light close in front of me.

I looked at the person in this room with me and it was my old friend Brydon, that died five years earlier in a boating accident, but he looked my age. I remember him saying to me again with thought, 'Mistakes are made. He made one, and he'll pay with his job. This is not your time yet Dan, I'll see you later.' And he walked into the light. Almost at that second I was 'warped' back down the tunnel, this time I seemed to fall into one of the light points on the giant egg. It became difficult to breathe again, and my normal vision came back, I could hear the sirens again and the paramedics. I remember hearing one yell, 'He's back, he's back,' and seeing the other with paddles.

I've only disused this experience with my parents and my close friend Jesse. People look at you weird when you say these kinds of things. I would say that I have lost about twenty-five percent of the knowledge I gained in my experience - most of that being the knowledge I seemed to gain surrounding 'Time'. My vision is sharper, I can see things more 3D like now as well I have a heighten sense of hearing. On a few occasions I've have precognitions. Sensed a phone call, knew I was going to see someone that day, knew when bad things where about to happen, good things as well. The other scary thing about my experience was following the accident. About two weeks later, I found out the paramedic that used the drug on me lost his job. Also, clocks don't keep time around me anymore, it's a curse, I live alone in an apartment now, five clocks have to be corrected weekly.
