Anyone on this website ever had a near death experience before? - I sometimes feel so I'll and I wanted some confidence I am going to be okay.

I remember almost 1 year ago I was watching the film released in 2006 directed by Oliver Stone called World Trade Center which as expected is a movie about the inside job known as the September 11 Attacks, There was a scene in that movie I remember so fondly where one of the last 2 survivors recalled seeing Jesus Christ in his near death experience. It gives me an ecstatic feeling that If ever felt so sick to the point of dying, despite all suffering, Jesus will be there in my image. I also remember watching the 2002 Swedish movie Lilya 4-Ever which was a film about human trafficking and this movie too had scenes of heaven, though the characters are fictional. I also remember talking to a person who teaches at my High School back in 2017, he told me he died 3 times before coming back to life.

I have. Was sick in isolation in hospital with sepsis due to an invasive strep A infection at the time. (Mortality rate for my condition at the time is one in four). Had a central line in etc, the whole nine yards. I'd tell you not to worry, honestly. All I'll say is that I am no longer scared of dying.
 
Would you not think him an utter fool who wept because he was not alive a thousand years ago? And is he not just as much a fool who weeps because he will not be alive a thousand years from now? It is all the same; you will not be and you were not. Neither of these periods of time belongs to you.

As a teenager I fell off a cliff roadside. I had pulled over in my beater to help someone stuck on the side of the road because it was a bad place to be stuck. He pulled off after and as I stepped over the boundary to walk back to my vehicle I lost my balance and fell. There was maybe a foot of clearance on each side of the boundary and some of it was loose rocks. The fall down I was pretty sure I was dead. I hit the ground and the lights went out. I woke up two days later in the hospital and they had me on beta blockers. When my heartbeat relaxed it would relax too much and I would start seeing darkening along the edges of my vision like shitty videogame vignette. Then I would fall asleep. I kept thinking, I'm going to die one of these times. Finally I woke up when a nurse was there and told her, and she told a doctor. But each time I went under I had these weird sensations and feelings similar to what people describe as near death experiences. I was sometimes so groggy when I woke up I couldn't tell them apart from the reality which is part of what made it so hard to speak up.

The brain is a crazy chemical stew.
 
I was riding a bicycle with the seat firmly pressed against the space between my groin and asshole for a few hours. When I got off, a rush of blood stormed into my head which nearly made me pass out, and I thought I was going to die from a stroke. In my delirium I thought I was on LSD, I saw all sorts of colorful geometric patterns which subsided after I calmed down.

Pretty gay for a near death experience, but it was pretty scary.

Yes but in the most pathetic and uncool way possible.

As a child I reached behind the couch to look for the remote, and doing so caused the recliner to pop out and my head got caught between the couch and the wall. I almost suffocated but sadly my mom was home and came into the room to pull me out.

I haven't myself, but I've read some books about them. There's a wide variety of different experiences. Out of body experiences, most of which are questionable, but a few that make me wonder. A warm light. A life review. Not all are the same, but those are some common features. Interestingly, visions of specific religious figures are relatively uncommon. It's more often family members who have already died. The most common near death vision of the afterlife proper is a sort of peaceful garden, watched over by a being of infinite light and love.

Even before death, people often have extremely vivid dreams in the weeks leader up to it, dreams that they describe as more real than reality. Although there a minority of near death experiences are negative, most report them to be positive, and those who have them are usually much less afraid of death.

It's not proof, but it's not what I would expect if death was just passing into oblivion after a series of brain spasms.

I've nearly been hit twice by some jackass speeding through a red light, plus I've had heavy furniture fall on me when I was very young.

This is why I'm fairly convinced quantum immortality is a thing. I just hope it'll let me die when I need to.
 
I've almost been impaled by a piece of rebar, sometimes I wish it had killed me so my family can claim life insurance. Knowing my luck it'll just gravely wound me and instead of my family claiming life insurance money they'd go bankrupt trying to pay my hospital bills.

Somebody tried to get me to watch a Christian movie last year about NDEs that were clearly cherry picked to confirm their beliefs but I noticed that everyone who had visions of heaven was involved in an NDE where they lost consciousness immediately, and everyone who had visions of hell was involved in something where they were like laying in a hospital bed in immense pain drifting in and out, so really it just taught me to try to die quick.
 
I almost drowned as a child (about 8-9 years old). Rode into a storm drain with my bicycle during a heavy thunderstorm (Australian monsoon season), lost traction almost immediately and got carried down the drain maybe 20-30 metres. There was about a 30-40 foot plunge from the artificial river into a storm basin, which looked like a giant, rocky whirlpool, but I managed to grab on to the safety ladder on the side and pull myself out of it.

Cried the whole way home, told my dad what happened and kept apologising about the bike. He didn't even care and just exclaimed how grateful he was I could tell the story to him. He and I drove back to the drain, I pointed out what happened and he walked down to the end where the bicycle had stopped where the basin flowed down to and grabbed it.

From an external perspective, I watched a guy in my high school class have a seizure and then go into cardiac arrest due to laced drugs he'd taken over the weekend. He was in a coma for nearly a month before waking up. Fully back to normal now but that was terrifying witness.
