Defib vision

I have encountered many descriptions of death and perceptions by people who were temporarily dead and fortuitously recovered. These descriptions tend to the imagery of a warm glowing welcoming light.

That did not happen me.

When I was in the catheter lab having a stent implanted after a heart attack, the passage of the catheter across my heart via the artery resulted in my heart going into afibrilation. It stopped pumping blood.

In the time it took for the doctors to put a defibrillator pad on my chest there was no blood to my brain. That is what happens prior to death.

I did not have a warm glowing welcoming light. It's possible that the 120 volt defibrillator was applied rapidly.

What I saw in my dream world was a typical overseas American Embassy. A place surrounded by barbed wire fences, thick concrete and steel walls and big steel drums to keep truck bombs out.

That vision of a complete military fortress with me inside was my only encounter with death.

Just so you know.
