Had a guy I know a few years ago die from a heart attack for a number of minutes. No pulse, gone...another friend did CPR and brought him back. Once recovered I asked him if he saw anything/went anywhere and he said, no...it was just all black and he was gone. The first memory he had was waking up in the hospital.

Anyone here been gone and if so, was it all black, or something else?

I've always wondered what believers in an afterlife and those who have had NDE's make of this. Was he no really dead? Does his soul not deserve another life? Has he used up all his lives and that's him done? All pretty daft if you ask me. It's those who have these experiences that make the YouTube videos, write books etc. They must be massively outnumbered by those like your friend who experience nothing.
Until we fully understand all the functions and how the billions of neurons in the brain interact, stories of NDE's must be viewed with extreme skepticism, as real as it obviously seems for some.
Sorry I haven't specifically answered your question but this is something I'm really interested in having had a similar experience, far too long to go into here, which was absolutely down to extreme stress I was under at the time.

Yup.
Black as the fucking night.
No Angels. No friends standing at the end of the bed.
No floating above looking down.

Heard a spooky story from a nurse I dated a few weeks back. I'll just copy and paste her text. She didn't seem like a whack job, so tend to believe her...

So before I go douse myself in whatever liquid even remotely resembles holy water in this house, say a bedtime prayer to every deity that man has ever created, and go to bed...I had to share this story with you.

I was walking down the hall during the night and saw one of my patients sitting on the side of her bed. I went in to stop her from getting up on her own and falling and she looks at me for a second, says "you're with them, aren't you?" And starts screaming about 6 inches from my face. My staff all come running to help her and she says she has to get out of the bed. She says I need to go away because I work with "her". She's still screaming and I'm worried that she's so scared that she'l throw herself into a cardiac event. I stand off in the corner of the room making sure everyone is safe and the patient calms down. She occasionally looks over at me and says "don't listen to her. I don't want to go". They get her in her wheelchair. She calms down and I go back to talk to her to see whether this is psych or if it's infection related.

She's calm as a cucumber. She asks for coffee. We sit and chat. She tells me that she had seen this night before, that everything was the same as the last time. She says that "the woman" was even here and she wasn't going to let the woman kill her. I ask her about the woman. She says she's seen her two other times before and it was never good. The woman said to her "I'm going to kill you, but not right now. I'll be back for you later". She describes her as a tall thin woman with long black hair, a white face, wearing a black dress. She apologizes to me for yelling at me but she couldn't help herself because the woman was behind me whispering in my ear. 😐 I try to reassure her, and she says "she followed you out of the room. She wasn't looking for me". I shrug this off, make sure the patient is ok, go document, run over to the covid unit to check on them then go over to memory support to ask about their policies on situations like this. While there, the nurse asks me to pronounce the death of one of their residents....who passed at the exact time the lady in black was visiting. 😐😱

That is...unsettling. I wonder why this woman had seen the woman in black before and if she'd seen her before, if other deaths occurred at that time around her.

Yeah I thought that was quite a spooky story too. She definitely didn't seem like the type to make it up.

I'm not sure what I believe happens when we die. I side with the theory of our souls leaving our body and going else where when our bodies expire.

About 30 years ago, after a mad weekend on the drink, i went around to a mates house on the Monday night. Sitting watching a movie and having a few joints.. i started to feel a bit unwell. So left his house early ish… went home, which was a 2 minute walk to my mums house. Feeling terrible, agitated and feeling very strange i went straight to bed.
Lying tossing and turning thinking wtf is wrong i took an age to fall asleep and you know the feeling when you’re not 100% sleeping but very near fully gone to sleep…just in that second before i was out cold i started to feel myself float up out of my bed, kept going up towards my ceiling…. Once getting there, still lying in the sleeping position, my body turned around to face myself lying in my bed. 🥹
Scared the shit out of me, told the mates a few days later but i couldn’t help but wonder wtf had happened.
I have never forgot it and to this day i still think about it.
I still remember it very vividly and have never understood it or went to the docs as after a few days i was all back to normal…
I swear on my son and daughters lives that this is completely true..
weird as fuck was an understatement
PS Glad you’re still here to tell your story 💚

Bit odd to post it on a thread such as this?
There must be a thread with the effects of alcohol?
Under the heading DT possibly?

I think it's relevant, there's a fair chance that the brain mechanisms behind Hattie's experience are similar to those involved in "near death" experiences. Haarlem's link mentions vivid experiences from dysfunctional brains in dying folk (nae offence @Hattie but I get the impression your brain may have been a wee bit dysfunctional at the time!).

It does seem that more often than not folk such as yourself who actually are clinically dead (or whatever the right term is) for a period don't seem to experience much at all. Glad you got through it to tell the tale, must be a terrifying thought looking back.
 
There used to be a website that documented people's experiences of dying and coming back. A huge archive of these you could read through going back years.

From memory, alot talked of complete darkness (even some deeply religious folk who claim they'd been good people etc) or like they'd floated out of their body and were viewing themselves below. Other experiences noted people encountering their deceased relatives etc. And the less believable IMO of people meeting Jesus/nuns and more bizarre stuff. I suppose it's nothing really new to what we've heard in the past.

I'm sure there was something I read earlier this year about a hospital patient dying and brain activity still being detected for a period after they were technically declared dead.
 
A very good friend of mine 'died' twice when he got Legionairres Disease (Hattie knows him).

Whilst in an induced coma he had vivid events and was back in many different eras in time.

A Clan battle in the Highlands, fighting in North Africa during Victorian times and many others.

Always had a Glaswegian called Hugh by his left hand side in EVERY experience.

His last 'dream' before he came out of the induced coma he and Hugh were on a rollercoaster in a town in Florida.

When he eventually got home and could half function again he looked up the place in Florida. He had never heard of it before but there were images of the town's roller coaster.

When he was visiting some coma specialist he told him about the events he experienced.

The geezer has a theory that when you see things like that then some relative from your past history who's DNA you will share has went through those experiences and this was why Tam seen them.

Very doubtful if my scenario was due to drink or a joint…i mean i was 21 and no mad alcoholic, and has anyone EVER heard of that happening to someone after a heavy weekend? Always wondered.. but any way…..

I wasnt having a go at Hattie really. I've been in the state he spoke of( like most on here probably).
I make fun of being 'dead'.
Sometimes it leaves people speechless, but most of my mates simply laugh and shake their heads.
Oddly, it isnt terrifying as I have no recollection of that day ( Saturday) up to the Tuesday .
I vaguely remember watching the highlights of our 0-2 win in the first leg of the play off.( The following Sunday was a *&*^ though)
It was the family who felt it most . Especially my son and son in law who were standing beside me when the lights went out.
However, I'm still on here taking the piss and annoying folk some 9 years later.

We are nothing more than biological machines.. most probably the result of an ancient alien breeding programme put on the planet to mine gold and minerals before they sodded off and left us. When we die it will be like switching off the TV. Would be nice to come back after you die but knowing my luck I'd probably come back as myself

Maybe you're experiencing sleep apnea or your Airways blocked with saliva... ive actually had similar episodes where I wake up choking for breath asI don't swallow saliva down when I'm sleeping

Ive got Sleep apnea mate. It’sa fuvkin nightmare. Mrs said i was stopping breathing in Ma sleep. Was totally knackered for about a year, really tired. So went to docs, then hospital. Wired me up and sent me home to record my sleep.
I was stopping breathing 24 times……an hour. Now have a machine and mask to pump air down my throat so some sort of flex doesn’t shut…. It’s not dangerous, your body automatically wakes you hence why i never fell into a deep sleep and was always knackered.
Need to wear mask every night, took me a few months to get used to the mask

I hope the pumps/masks are quieter than they used to be.

About 25 years ago I was in France for a week with the pipe band to play at a festival. We were in twin rooms and there was a guy new to the band who explained that he had sleep apnea and it might be a nuisance for the person sharing with him.

I volunteered. I'd done the festival 2-3 times and knew I'd be pished the entire week, meaning I could sleep in a disco if I wanted to (or even didn't want to!).

The first night when he plugged it in I just pished myself laughing for about half an hour (I think I'd had a smoke too) - what a fucking racket! It sounded like an F1 car being tested in a wind tunnel.

It didn't bother me at all after the initial shock, but I did feel sorry for his wife.
 
My father in law had one of the mask/pump thingys.
I said to my mother in law that she should wear it.
She said 'I dinna hae sleep apnoea '.
I said ' no ,but it would be an improvement.......

You used to wear a mask when you were bounding through the fields at the back of the flats.

Allegedly might I quickly add before Mrs Hattie goes garrity 😂
 
About having a banter after someone has went through an experience of 'dying' and coming back.

We all look at excuses for our never having won the cup. Well after Tam 'died' twice. We won the cup. So HE was the hoodoo.

After he told me and Dino about the stories from the induced coma.

We said well most *&*^ have a guide called Red Cloud, White Wolf, Running Bear (or Running Bare behind Moredun Flats in a mask in Hattie's case. (Allegedly).

But Tam B had a weegie called Shug who was a blade man at his side.
