Jorge V NDE

Experience Description

I had a terrible toothache and I decided to go to the dentist to have my molar extracted. I received local anesthesia and I died. I left this world, I knew nothing, I felt nothing and I saw myself floating without feeling my body or mass, in the air. I looked up and I saw a very brilliant LIGHT, I saw downwards and I saw myself in the same dentist seat with the dentist trying to revive me, and trying to find out if my heart was beating. The feeling of abandonment, relaxation and happiness is difficult to describe and I wanted to remain in that condition. I suddenly saw that I was rapidly descending and entering my body, awaking from that marvelous sensation. The dentist was scared and she kept saying that I should have told her that I was a cardiac risk and that I was not to receive any anesthetic. I had this experience when nothing was known about this experience, especially in Cuba where we do not have any information on this regard.
