Experience Description: During the night of May 15 to May 16, 2004 at a Paris Hospital intensive care unit, where I was in a coma after a first surgical operation undergone on May 4th (aorta/ descending distal superior mesenteric artery - higher mesenteric - superior mesenteric artery bypass necessary because of superior mesenteric artery's occlusion). Two phases for my NDE: Phase One: Flight in an extremely bright space, the very mild impression of a muffled, fuzzy ambience, no awareness of a physical body, surrounded by other beings similar to me, flight at a rather low speed, no noise, no air rubbing, all is white, flight lasted around ten minutes.Phase Two: Suddenly I see a tunnel and dive into it at very high speed. No noise and no rubbing, as previously said. On arrival at the bottom, I decide to go up again. I believe that this is a decision to live taken at this very moment and, suddenly - nothing. Everything stops. I remember my family's visits, my eldest daughter speaking to me, caressing me and writing her surname on my arm: I seem to react since I move slightly.Background Information: Gender: Male Date NDE Occurred: May 15, 2004 NDE Elements: At the time of your experience, was there an associated life-threatening event?
