When I Was Dead
Enclosed.
Surrounded
Encircled
Hemmed in by a calming darkness
Unconsciously within my own consciousness
Contentment radiates through my soul
Suspended
Dangling
Floating
Carelessly hovering amidst my own sense of being
My essence seems to caress my psyche
Enlightenment tickles my senses
Nebulous
Inky
Obscure
Comfortably engulfed in the shadows of my memories
The darkness itself wraps around me
The darkness is me

Have You experienced what You have described here?
I Have, and it describes the experience very closely. I was working in a power plant and got inline on a current circuit. The shock stopped my heart and breathing. Upon resuscitation I felt as though I had awakened from a great nights sleep. I wanted to drift back into the comfort of darkness and continue my rest.

Absolutely .. I was having a c section and had a reaction to the anesthetic.. They lost me 3 times .. The longest.. Just short of seven minutes.. Why do u think we only had the darkness?

This is one of the most interesting reads, truly. Thank you for sharing your transcending experience. Only the darkness...and contenment...so interesting indeed.

I went through something very similar. I admit the darkness had no effect on me, but the endless silence I was wafting through disturbed me deeply. Odd, considering I have always been much a loner by choice. Loved your portrayal of existence beyond this one... this consciousness definitely is not bound to this body. Enjoyed.

Its good to know that I am not the only one who didn't experience that typical light at the end of the tunnel.. My darkness was .. Lovely.
When I woke I was a different person.. I have love for everything.. Everyone equally. And that brought me much sadness when i saw how people are to one another.. Thats actually something I'm still struggling with to this day.

Wow! Your description is very similar to my 3rd NDE -- 'cept the Floating part
Very nicely conveyed ink
on a sensitive subjective subject.
