Tahira H NDE

Experience Description

I was at a hospital visiting my sister-in-law. I was sitting in a room and remembered suddenly falling from a bench. I must have fainted.

I felt like my life was going normally. People were doing things but I was not normal. People could not see me, but I was able to see and hear people doing daily routine tasks and talking to each. There were a lot of people there, even though I didn't know the place where I was in. I had never seen this place in my real life. I saw my family doing routine tasks. I also saw other people doing their work too, but they were strangers. I do know I was going somewhere, and was about half way there, when I started to hear my brother's voice. My elder brother was shouting my name over and over while trying to make me wake up. I was trying really hard to answer him because I could sense the tension in his voice. After a few moments, I woke up to I saw my brother rubbing my hands and still frantically shouting my name. Doctors were gathered around me and I had wet my pants. My brother told me my eyes were open and tears were rolling down my face. My lips were blue and I was cold. I was sweating even after waking up.
