People Who Have Been Clinically Dead, What Did You Experience?

[@Lifes.lemonade]

I nearly died drowning at aged 8, I went under 3 times and couldn’t get back up.. everything went from noisy and panicky to calm and total peace.. really relaxing bright light and pure peace.. then my sister thinking I was playing lifted me up out of the water.

God I hope I don't have my life flash before my eyes when I die, my life sucked and I don't want to go through that shit all over again!

I haven't had a Near-Death experience like anyone else here in the comments section but I'm here to possibly explain why we "exist" after death, based on some research and my best educated guess. It has to do with the Law of Conservation of Energy: "The Law of Conservation of Energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant-it is said to be conserved over time. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another." Here's my theory since Our Consciousnesses are SOME form of Energy, based on the Law of Conservation of Energy therefore "[They] cannot be created or destroyed; rather they transform from one form to another". Death could potentially be the transformation of our Consciousnesses trying to transform into a suitable form that we are comfortable with. Like in this video some people just like to "float" around, in others some people insert themselves into another Reality (like the guy at 4:13 into an "8-bit -kinda like mario? Except it was a field of flowers and a bunny rabbit". ⚠This is all speculative and based on some research, the experiences of people in this video, and the following above is my best educated guess based on the research and experiences. SO PLEASE do not do any harsh critiques on this comment, we can have a civilized conversation in the replies about any questions you may have (If I didn't elaborate enough on something I have mentioned), but absolutely no roasting, destructive criticism, and depending on when you reply (if anyone at all) it may take me some time (5mins -3 days) to get back to you ⚠

Not clinically dead, but I once had a seizure so much worse than my normal ones that smelling salts didn’t bring me back. I was at the movie theater, in the lobby one moment and the next in a hospital bed being told that I must have knocked myself unconscious upon impact. The person who called 911 thought I’d died though and was there next to my bed. A kind Good Samaritan helped me, but that’s another story I hope gets asked.

[@MrTwisterNo2]

This is the same as the 3/4 times I've passed out - one moment you're doing something, the next you're lying down on the floor or a bed with people around you. This often includes memory loss of up to a minute from before I passed put, so I have to figure out what happened.

[@bobblebardsley]

3:40 'Status epilepticus' is the best thing I've ever heard this TTS voice say. Very much enjoyed that part. EDIT: Apart from how excitedly he always says 'Starbucks'.

[@GemsOfRedditStudios]

Very traumatic for everyone involved.

[@420Chameleon]

Legally declared dead on two occasions. 5 and 7 minutes respectively. I experienced absolutely nothing. Nothing at all. Like... A nothingness beyond all comprehension of nothing that we have as living beings.

[@John-qv7sy]

I feel any after life/spiritual/religous experience only comes after brain death, otherwise its just a dream/hallucination.

[@robertajill3070]

I was dead after being in a coma brought on by neurological trauma. I was quite disappointed actually….I got nothing. You hear about near death experiences, coma “dreams”….the lot. Me? I remember going to hospital in early May and waking up in September. Did I get ripped off?

[@MrTwisterNo2]

That's my standard experiences of passing out (3-4 times). One moment doing one thing, next minute you're waking up on the floor or a bed with no memory of how you passed out or what happened in a short period leading up to it.

[@WilDBeestMF]

I dont know about any of that bright lights bs lol, but I can tell you one thing. Dying and being brought back hurts a bit..

[@kendoruslink7017]

This shit just scares me

[@lonewolf6232]

At the end of the day, as long as you still have brain activity, you are "technically" alive, and any visuals/hallucinations you experience are all created by your brain, not some paranormal/after-life experience. Once your brain activity ceases, then please, do tell what you experienced from the beyond.....

[@bobblebardsley]

I generally agree with this, but what about the people who 'see' other patients, or the actions of the nurses, while 'dead' and then have that corroborated when they wake up? Not always even in the same room or department? I guess the skeptical response to that is either they overhear it despite being unconscious, or the story got embellished over the years, but those are the ones that make me wonder.

[@NiaArifah-br6cr]

nope, that's reasoning was simply your imagination, born out of prejudice on how thing should work instead how it did work. You are in denial of empirical observation

[@lonewolf6232]

@@NiaArifah-br6cr what? Brain on? Still technically alive that's quite the factual statement. Brain off? No more signals bouncing around the brain. True death. What's beyond that? You wouldn't live to tell anyone.

This

[@MaddieMisanthrope]

What if when we die, both ends of the spectrum are wrong - no God/heaven/hell and no black void/just ceasing to exist, and we all just turn into spirits who float around watching people for infinity. As someone who doesn't believe in God/heaven, I honestly think it's a cooler idea than just completely ceasing to exist.

[@John-qv7sy]

Turning into spirits is not the same as ceasing to exist, and there's no scientific evidence for spirits being real, that's just baloney .You die, that's it. We have no evidence of soul or spirit, your consciousness and personal die with your Maybe your brain dreams as you pass and you "see" your family or the light but that's it". Your consciousness and personality die with your brain. All your decisions and thoughts, you as a character/personality, just die with your brain. Pretty sad tbh.
