I haven't died personally but was an A&E nurse so heard more than one patient recount a NDE. Some very peculiar but always the same sort of format.

Oh good thread! I have no such experience but will look forward to reading about other people's.

I think if you've officially died then you don't get brought back to life. At least, not unless the doctor has made a grave error in certificating your death :-/
Once. I just died in your arms tonight.

Apparently my heart stopped briefly when I was 10 or 11.
I just remember everything going dark then waking up again soon after passing out.

Around 17-18 years ago I was being electrocuted whilst working in a basement of a large office block. I went to remove some metal trunking lid (lid of a metal boxing which holds cables) unknown to me the trunking was live. I tried to remove the lid with two hands and the current literally stuck me to the lid. Whilst being shocked all I could remember was my life reversing very fast almost like a black and white movie. Now for the strangest thing I had almost rewound to the point of me being born when someone had heard me screaming and managed to somehow remove me from the trunking.
I firmly believe if I had not been rescued and I had got to the point my original birth I would of died.

Funny enough this has happened to me too; usually at the same time when my penis dies. It's often too late for that little fella to be brought back to life though.

At least four times. 1. Went down like a sack of potatoes whilst Skiing. ( Broken humerus and torn rotator cuff, serious pain.)
2. The car park at Bournemouth FC. I was sitting down and it takes so long to get out I had fully recovered by the time it came to drive home! ( Doesn't bare thinking about.)
3. Another fall but this time on to my face. This helps you recover quickly, so having removed my glasses which were embedded in my face and staunched the flow of blood, I was able to drive Jnr Skipper to his school bus stop.
4. Shortly after #3 whilst sitting wired up in a Hospital bed in Southampton General Hospital's excellent Cardiac department. ( It was very interesting to watch the monitor flat line and then after 12 seconds, a beat, after another 4 or 5 another beat and then slowly back up to 50 after about half an hour.)
So....... What have we learned. You don't seem to pass out unless you are standing up On the occasions when you do pass out I didn't see any white lights or look down upon my recumbent body or take up pottery with my girlfriend. If I had one.
I hope and presume it will not happen again, whilst I have my Pacemaker fitted, unless the battery goes flat, and the Hospital keep a close eye on that.

I had a cardiac arrest in my sleep, 7 years ago. Thankfully my wife woke up, and called my two sons in to lift me onto the floor to do cpr, in doing so they dropped me and the bump restarted my heart. I was dead for a couple of minutes, and it is very very black, no white light, no Granny beckoning me into heaven. When I completely came round, I felt like I had the worst hangover in the world, headache, sick, etc but although there was no Angels, at least there was no blokes with tails and horns
I've had 35 cardiac arrests now, but I haven't died again
Thank you NHS

I have saved a few and sadly lost a few, no NDE for me yet though [emoji2]

Wasn't there a programme on about dying, with professor Robert winston, who followed people in their last moments, so to speak. Seemly the tunnel sensation was where the brain focused on keeping what it had left on trying to push all electrical impulses into the front cortex to keep life going. Or something inexplicable like that.
Sounded plausible at the time...now I am not so sure
