I see lots of people have documented their experiences, and they all seem to have one common theme....peace, white light, drifting, and an overwhelming sense of everything is going to be okay. Not all experience, but most.

I think I've had two what I would call "close calls" in my life. The first was when I was about 4 of 5 years old. I was sleeping over at my grandparents home with my mom. Dad was out of town for some reason or another. I was sleeping in the spare room in the bed with my mother when I was awakened to use the bathroom. I didn't wake anyone and went into the bathroom. When I was finished, I walked in front of the vanity and looked at the mirror. It was all fogged up. I was leaving the bathroom and returned to look again at the mirror. I climbed up onto the sink and began to write my name with my pointing finger. I did a real nice job and wanted to show my mother. I remember tugging at my mother to wake up so I could show her my name and she would be so proud of me. (I know now that my mother is a light sleeper and wakes when a bug sneezes). My mother finally woke and didn't seem to want to come into the bathroom to see my name. I insisted. She finally came and saw my name on the mirror. I remember she didn't seem pleased, but instead was panic stricken. She ran to my grandparents room and woke them up. They all came into the bathroom then grandpa went to call 911. I they opened all the windows to the house, it was then I started coughing. We all began coughing. The firemen were the first to arrive. They said we all would have died of carbon monoxide poisoning if we hadn't awakened when we did. I think my guardian angel awakened me and made me persist.

The second time was more like what people describe. I was in the hospital for my gallbladder. Lots of other things were going wrong. My other organs were stressed and impacted by an infection I was developing. My vitals began to drop quickly. I began to "code" and remember drifting away. I remember all the people running into the room. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but everything was in ssssslllllloooooowwwww motion. I was not in pain. I was content. No real colors, just light. Obviously, everything turned out good for me, and I'll never forget the experience.

Ever have an experience, or know someone who has? It's life changing!
