Nope. Couple times I was certainly afraid I would die and was lucky enough to get thru it, but neither time was I really close to death.

Define "near death experience".

Yes, a few. You?

Michael Shermer wrote that as space aliens entered the modern consciousness, aliens became more common in NDE's instead of religious figures. He wrote about his own experience of extreme physical stress and exhaustion where he perceived those around him as aliens. He says he could still recall his perceptions and his feelings from this experience as clearly as any of his other memories.

On a more personal note, my late mother-in-law had a stroke in her mid sixties. It was serious enough that she was in the hospital for an extended period of time. While there, she experienced a number of hallucinations. One in particular seemed to stick with her through her recovery. She had experienced babies in the wall of her hospital room and had seen their faces and heard them. It became a bit of a joke after she came home because her experience seemed very real to her even after she stopped having hallucinations.

I heard an audio hallucination (or maybe it was just my brain waves going to shit) then absolutely nothing until I woke up on the floor in the dark, wondering what the fuck happened, and how I ended up there.

Been there more than a few times, saw nothing until after I woke up/ was revived, maybe it could have been because my eyes were closed.

Yes I have

These are the problems of our upbringing ......we need to give them a bit of our personality through different situations , so they will be able to get an idea of what we are. Then they won't expect such things from us. Dad will realize and accommodate faster than moms everywhere !
