  • I am currently doing a research paper on NDEs (near-death experiences) Some people but not all do experience what is called a life review during a NDE.
  • Watch the movie Stay. Then watch it again and again and again and again..... Then watch it with commentary. Crap, I just gave away the movie. Oh well. It feels like a "cop out" movie, but it really is a masterpiece. Rated R for Language.
  • Yes it does. The synapses and nuerons of your brain starve for oxygen, and begin to randomly fire off in a futile last ditch survival effort to restart your body. Why the cells starve of oxygen, they set off random memories that you have had of your life. This is the last thing in life you will ever have to hold onto before darkness envelopes you, living your life is like making a good movie, or a bad one, or a tragic one, etc. Death is kinda like the premier, you get a front row seat, but no popcorn. The only thing is you may not like the review...especially if your life sucked. What is beyond the darkness after all your brain cells have died is left up to your religious beliefs. We all got a guaranteed first class ticket on the Death Express, you won't see it coming, you can't avoid it, you can't postpone it, you won't miss it, and it will definately not miss YOU.
  • Yes, it's happened to me before. I distinctly remember seeing myself falling off of the monkey bars at my elementary school's playground. When I "came to," for lack of a better term, I was under someone's car with my bike on top of me. I should've had my mom sue, but...well, I wanted to get back on my bike :)
  • Yes. My life flashed before me. It happened to me as a child. I was around 8 years old. My brother and I had successfully managed to nag my father into taking us for a dip in the ocean (we were holidaying at a beach in Spain and the waves looked to enticing). We managed to get about knee deep when a giant wave came along and blasted us. My father lost his grip on me and I was sucked into the undertow. Just as I was about to release my last breath of air and succumb to drowning, my life flashed before my eyes. It was like a rapid series of stills displaying my whole life (albeit brief at that age)... Obviously I didn't die... My father grabbed me by my hair and yanked me out of the water just in the nick of time. My brain wasn't dying... I had only held my breath for a few moments under the water, so I don't buy the 'oxygen starved misfire thingy’ explanation... Perhaps the event is triggered by extreme stress? I don’t’ know… I’m just here to tell you that it does indeed happen.
  • I've had 3 of these experiences. During only 1 of these I did have a quick flash before me.
  • We often use our memories to summon up resolve, when we most require it. Focus all effort, energy, focus and determination to reach safety or secure the goal. Sounds to me like a rational and fairly decent part of a survival method. I always reflect when in a situation or problem, I imagine it is just a more urgent response to try and remember the course of action to take as quickly as possible. I personally haven't as far as I can remember, but the only near death experiences I've had, tended to involve alcohol.
  • I hope so!
  • My father told me it happened to him and the slow motion thing also. I have have more than 10 most certain death experiences but it never happened to me. Maybe I was too busy trying not to die for it to happen.
  • •A very unpleasant sound/noise is the first sensory impression to be noticed •A sense of being dead; •Pleasant emotions; calmness and serenity; •An out-of-body experience; a sensation of floating above one's own body and seeing the surrounding area; •Floating up a blue tunnel with a strong, bright light or garden at the end; •Meeting deceased relatives or spiritual figures; •Encountering a being of light, or a light (often interpreted as being the deity or deities they personally believe in); •Being given a life review (the "life-flashing-before-your-eyes" phenomenon); •Reaching a border or boundary; •A feeling of being returned to the body, often accompanied by a reluctance. •Feeling of warmth even though naked.
  • I have experienced the slow motion thing just before the impact of a car crash and then bang.I have heard of some race car drivers who are capable of doing this.
  • I think your regrets do
  • Maybe in a quick, surprise accident, it might happen, but the two times I faced death I was too sick to experience anything.
  • Yes it does, I had it happen to me during an attack by someone with a 12" bayonet and for a few seconds before I knew I was going to die I had a dream like experience that started with me seeing myself at about 3 years old and my mother in my backyard walking across the lawn. BUT I was seeing myself at that age with her from above about 20 feet away. Like watching a movie of my life and then it went to another and another and kept going of main event in my life but always with me seeing them as out of my body until the last one where I saw my wife laying on our bed at home from above the room as she watched tv. After I fought with this person and stayed alive (long story) I came home and saw her on the bed still with the clothes I saw her wearing and ask what she was doing all night and she said laying on the bed watching tv.I said I know and told here what happened to me. No one can really explain how I saw myself from above when when I have never seen myself or a photo of my mother and I in the yard like that before.
  • Who really knows until true death comes.
