When I had my NDE experience, I was at home as I had just taken some pills. I tried to kill myself. Although it appeared to me like a dream but in fact, everything was real.I saw next to me two sturdy men who took me in their arms in order to transport me to the ambulance; they looked very tall and very bright. Afterwards I found out that I had been walking to the ambulance on the arm of this nurse who helped me. I was told that I had been lying at the back of the ambulance all the way to the hospital - but I remember being in front, next to the driver, I even felt the breeze on my face. At the same time, I could not understand why he did not answer me. After some time we arrived at the hospital, and I saw everything they did in order to resuscitate me. At the same time, I went down the hallway to speak with this man who was covered in blood and was trying to get up from the floor. I helped him and I asked him what had happened to him? He told me he overdosed in order to take his own life, but now he couldn't move and no one was helping him. I think once in a while, I was back in my body for a second or so and I could see everything around me but did not understand. This is a short description of what happened to me during my first NDE.P.S. Since that day I dream about people who had been deceased and about future events, some of them apocalyptic, in some cases I know when people are going to die, weeks in advance, it is simply horrible to have that kind of knowledge.
