[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that most people with NDEs equate them with dreams. My NDE (when I was 24), felt more real, and changed me a bit. I had no idea it was an NDE. When I read up on NDEs of others 15 yrs later, I knew thats what I had. Usually in dreams people are not clinically dead either. The brain can not dream during death. But I can see how to others who can not explain it, it may be thought of as a dream. [/quote]

How did it change you?[/quote]

I was young and never spiritual or religious. My therapist said I was anorexic and my weight kept plummeting. She used to weigh me at every appointment. At the last appointment before my NDE, she said if I lost one more pound she would have to admit me to the hospital. It was a very painful time for me as my boyfriend of five yrs had just dumped me and quickly began seeing other girls. I lost all appetite and lost 27 lbs in one summer. I never considered that anorexia. Depression, maybe. But I was already thin to begin with and losing 27 lbs really weakened me to the point of making even breathing difficult. Anyhow, I changed over the course of time. I learned to value myself and not let anyone affect my sense of self worth. I learned that intentionally denying my body nourishment was tantamount to suicide and my life is not mine to take at will. God had a purpose for my life and there was reason for my suffering. However, I was not told the reason and was asked to trust God's plan. At the time I could not fathom a future life. But I got through that time, and met a wonderful man who I have now been married to for 15 yrs. Overall, I learned to trust God and not take the bad in life too seriously. I learned we are like travelers through life, and its a very short trip anyway. My real home is in the after life. I learned God will remove any memory of hardship we suffered in our life. [/quote]

Fascinating -- Are you saying this came to you during your NDE?[/quote]
