In 2010 I flipped an ATV over on on myself and the
headlight broke all of my ribs and collapsed both lungs.
They airlifted me to a hospital trauma unit 40 miles away.
Tubes were stuck in every conceivable place in my upper
body and I was intubated for almost three weeks. I was
on IV pain medication (morphine?). It was the second night
and I can’t say that it wasn’t a dream but I saw my
cousin,Tom. He was in a dark place and there was a bright
light behind him. Tom had been killed piloting a plane
he had built the year before my accident. In the “dream”
he told me to go back and it was not my time. It seemed
so formula like, just like the typical NDE story that I
chalked it up as a dream but I really don’t know.
yeah it’s hard to know- My experience wasn’t really typical- so not sure what happened there- It could be that these visions are ‘protective’ experiences (Much like going into shock) that are common to everyone- with some variances- When I was going through my ordeal, docs were pounding on chest- doused me with icewater to get fever down, holding my tongue etc- I didn’t feel any of that happening- and could only see what was going through my mind at the time-
