Experience Description

At age 13, I had an uncle who had passed away. He had been deceased for approximately 2 weeks when I had a dream which he appeared in. He told me that I would be involved in a accident around age 16 years old. Everyone would believe that I would die, but I would survive. I told my mother of the dream because I was scared. She tried to comfort me by telling me it was just a dream.

Fast forward to my 16 birthday. I was constantly worried until I turned age 17. The day I turned 17, I laughed because I the dream would not come true now. Four days later, my horse open the gate and had gotten out. I was putting a halter on him and my sister's boyfriend walked up behind him. This spooked my horse and his front legs hit both of my femurs and my right fibula. I was in the hospital for three months in traction.

In the first three days in the hospital, I was suffering from my arterial blood gas being 28 percent. It was 8 o'clock am and my doctor left the room. He did not know I was suffering from a fat embolism. My mother left the room to request that he come back to check on me. The nurses could not contact him. A woman came into my room and I will never forget what she said. She apologized for taking too long to come to see me and that she had been extremely busy. She asked me where my mother was. I told her she went to find a doctor. This woman asked me what the doctors were going to do for me. I stated that I didn't know. She then said that she was going to find someone and left the room by exiting through the wall.

Suddenly, a doctor who was running late from rounds, came walking down the hall. My mother had asked the doctor to see me, even though he was not my doctor. He agreed look at me and called code blue. I was immediately sent to the intensive care unit.

I had an NDE. I saw a light come through the window and knew the light was coming for someone. As more of the light came through the window, I knew I was the one the light was coming for. Then I blacked out and found myself traveling at a extremely high rate of speed down a long tunnel. The distance was great and there was a presence with me. The light knew my every thought. I had an emotional feeling that I could not control this. My privacy was gone but I could not know everything the light was thinking. I knew only what I was supposed to know. I knew that I was going to the end of the tunnel. I could see light at the end of the tunnel that was the size of a pin hole. Then I was given a message that if I went through to the end of the tunnel, that I could not return. With all my willpower, I said, 'No!' to keep from going through the threshold.

When I came back to my body, I didn't have control of my body for a little while. I didn't sense evil but the unknown scared me for a couple weeks. I kept thinking I would leave my body and could not stop leaving if the light came back. I have reflection of this whole event from my dead uncle forwarding me to the light at the end of the tunnel.

The all-knowing light could carry on a intimate conversation with every living thing on the planet Earth all at the same time in their own language. It was thoughts without words, which were never spoken. It was telepathy. I was never told a name for the all-knowing light, or what his or her title was. I just knew it was all-knowing.

I tend now to lean towards believing in reincarnation.

My mother said that when I went to the ICU, she walked passed a chapel in the hospital. She felt like a source was pulling her into pray but as I know she didn't enter because she was heading for the phone to call the family. She was going to tell them to say their good-byes upon the advice of the doctor.

I hope this helps people who read this. I have since dedicated my life to rescuing animals and became a nurse. I think we are here to learn and help Humanity any way one we can. I wanted to give back what was given to me. I left with disability but many did even have that because they lost their young lives. I never forget that.
