Had a stroke bad enough that I hit the floor, didn't bang my head on anything though, and I pulled through before the EMTs even arrived. The best way I can explain what dying feels like is this....if you've ever played an old nintendo game, and you didn't blow on the cartridge before you put the game in, and it loads up and the image is all glitchy, and the sound is distorted, it's like that happens to reality all around you. That's what dying feels like, your brain glitching out.

Usually you faint when your brain isn't getting enough oxygen, because you're hyperventilating or something else, basically your brain is dying, so the results would be similar.

Anyone had a similar experience like this?

when I was like 12 I drowned and was dead for two minutes.
I didn't even know I was dead. It was like sleeping without a dream.

I have been terrified to die ever since.

I fapped to pictures of Stalin. My parents walked in. Almost died from a heart attack from both being scared of them and cumming at the same time...

>>694899725
My experience is not to far off from
>>694899999
I stopped breathing from bad asthma attack. Passed out. Think I died. my vision shifted between darkness and this weird distorted kaleidoscope vision. My hearing was distant but also on an intense loop. Kind of like the start of the song comfortably numb.

I remember being aware that I was dead. Then feeling terrified because I was seemingly stuck in my body. Although I couldn't feel my body at all. I wanted so badly to talk to the people around me trying to revive me but I couldn't. It drove me crazy. I believed I was being punished and that I was in hell. I had to abandon all hope just to keep from suffering further.

>>694901668

Really? I remember it all, including what happened when I was, "dead."

Being revived was like that scene in Pirates of the Caribbean when they flip the boat, I shit you not. I remember just floating through nothing with someone breathing on my back and mumbling sweet nothings, really wanted to see who/what it was but couldn't move.

Before dying I was just watching my mum crying while people were slapping my face etc and when I was floating I just remember thinking, "Man, she didn't deserve that." And I was just upset that I'd upset her, didn't care that I was dead as I seemed to know what was happening. Hard to explain.

And then I was back all of a sudden.

>>694902240
are u saying it was like sleep paralysis?

>>694902466

Sleep paralysis is really fucked up. Not to be compared with dying.

>>694902466
It's a lot like that, yes, except you can't see or hear clearly either

>>694902387
What was the official cause?

>>694902240
Sounds like you remembered tripping on heroine, not the act of dying.

>>694899725
I was really high driving around playing Pokémon Go. Almost drove in front of a train that just had a yield sign marking it at night. I was lucky the engineer had blown the horn or I would have been killed. Never again.

>>694902466
An OD is, yes. Except it feels fucking amazing to the point that it's hard to care that you're up shit creek. The being dead bit wasn't though. I was "somewhere else," I guess.

>>694899725
I had one when Obama was re-elected.........

>>694902511
i've had it before, very similar where i was on my bed and could feel someone breathing and touching behind my back like what >>694902240 said. wanted to see who it was but couldnt move

lived with it my whole life, ur making dying seem underrated

>>694900553

Sounds like what happens when blood runs away from your brain: lots of white dots, more and more, until all is white and you hear less and less and eventually lose consciousness.

Feinting, sure, dying, no.

>>694902931
>gold static
Sounds like a barrel o' fun to me.

>>694901910

Sounds like "locked in syndrome".

Some people live in that state. It's my worst nightmare.

ITT: people don't know what an NDE is.

It's not just nearing death, it's when you experience these strange phenomena: life review, seeing dead people, seeing a tunnel, light at the end, "God", being sent back for loved ones or a mission, etc.

>>694903546

The glitching out was the DMT your dying brain releases. Science!

>>694902387
dude, i think your stroke glitch effect is definitely due to the way your brain is fucking up and less to do with dying. seizures can be similar if you dont black out. everything just feels real fucked up, like your senses dont arent coming together properly
Never died, myself. trying to save that trick for last

>>694904202
You're implying that who were are isn't just our brain, I think that's a different discussion entirely and mostly a matter of opinion

>>694904131
Asthma guy here. Sometimes I wonder if I was having a dmt trip. I would definitely describe my experience as psychedelic.

>>694904131
true, but.. here's the thing I don't get; why does that happen? Where's the evolutionary advantage in your brain releasing a combo is opiates and LSD when going out of business?

Got electrocuted twice, slipped on a ledge almost falling a few hundred meters nothing special

Can confirm that it sucks dick. Wasn't the same for like a week after, had some memory issues.

>>694904522
true. even seeing it secondhand it wouldnt make evolutionary sense to give you comfort about death.

almost died in childbirth with my mum

I had a really severe fever once, and I experienced what seemed to be death.
Basically, it felt like an LSD trip. I imagined small gnomes fighting over portions of my bedsheets and all mental functions were pretty much on lockdown. I am fairly sure I was literally paralyzed, as when I wanted to get some help from my parents, (whom I lived with at that time) I couldn't bring myself to even speak. I heard a really sharp noise that sounded like a television on a static channel that persisted until I eventually passed out completely hours later. Long story short, I woke up the next morning and was rushed to the ER when I told my parents what happened.

>>694904631
same here, it's walking hell.

>>694903905

"NDE" is a very established term since the 1970's. It does not refer to narrow escapes from death, it refers, very specifically, to the phenomena associated with such events. Learn the difference before acting cocky.

I got sick with whooping cough and couldn't sleep for a week. My eyes went red like that chick in the flood.

>>694904832
You clean yourself up?

>>694899725
Almost died from drinking too much then got lost in the ghetto for 5 hours

>>694904702
yes, but that constitutes abstract intelligence, self awareness and sentience. A human observes another human dying, and learns that the dying human is not in pain and/or fear and thus can live without a too deep set fear of death. This makes sense. But, the same should occur when other mammals die? What does a dog gain from watching another dog die whilst tripping balls?

it's tricky stuff brah.

Evolution is an optimization process driven by random mechanisms...i.e. there is often not a "reason" for why certain things are the way they are. Evolution is not a conscious "designer" that produces things with a specific goal in mind...it simply "picks" the best random alteration and enhances it. That particular trait just randomly happened to be the one which became dominant. So, to return to your question of "Why does the brain release DMT when dying?", the answer is that there IS no answer. There is no selection pressure for or against that trait, it just happens. As to the mechanism itself, I suspect that there is just a global breakdown of function in the brain, leading to a dump of ALL neurotransmitters. When the reuptake pumps fail, the neurons just dump their contents into the extracellular space. The result is pleasant hallucinations, giving the impression that humans are not "meant" to feel pain when dying. Imposing that kind of rationale, however, is simply creating meaning out of chaos. If you watch TV static long enough, your mind will start to see patterns which aren't there, simply because the human mind is "wired" to find patterns in chaos in order to better understand the environment. To wrap this up, I suppose the answer to your question is that the brain is finding meaning in meaninglessness, simply because that is what the brain does. We look for patterns to make sense out of our environment, which sometimes leads to spurious conclusions. There is no reason that the brain hallucinates when dying, but there IS a reason that this trait appears to be a built-in mechanism.
