Man who was clinically dead for 7minutes narrates about what he saw in other world

A man who was clinically dead for seven minutes shared his experience on Reddit. 

After being diagnosed with a lung hemorrhage, he went into cardiac arrest and a “Code Blue” was declared (indicating a medical emergency, typically cardiac or respiratory arrest).

In his Reddit post, he mentioned that he wasn’t afraid of dying. However, he was deeply concerned by the vision of three oval ellipses and a black space he saw during the incident.

Upon regaining consciousness two days later, he found it difficult to explain his experience both in the hospital and in the otherworldly realm he perceived.

Narrating, he said: “It took the doctors seven minutes to get my heart started again. During that time, I had a stroke due to the lack of oxygen in my brain.

“I woke up intubated and only semi-conscious for two days, then fully regained consciousness and asked, ‘What happened?’ It is hard to correlate inner time to what was happening outside, but I can make some sense of it.”

“I’m not scared of dying, not in the least. Afraid of what comes before, sure, but nature makes dying easy.”

“I saw a series of three oval ellipses, one at a time, just suspended in a black space. The ellipses were all upright, as though they were suspended by a string (but they weren’t), and they all had a thickness to them, like a ring. On the inner and outer surfaces of the first ellipse I saw mountains, streams, forests, and clouds.

“They were beautiful at first, but then they began to sour as their colour took on a yellow tinge. It faded away, and was replaced by a second ellipse that was a hot ring of iron, so hot that pieces of iron were slowly crumbling from it.”

“I now take it that this is when I was in cardiac arrest. Suddenly the scene brightened to reveal the third ellipse that was covered with beautiful clouds that were light pink and blue, like from the most beautiful sunrise or sunset. That, I believe, is when my heart started beating again. When I regained consciousness, those three ellipses remained firmly fixed in my memory. When I was told days later about my cardiac arrest and stroke, it all began to make sense to me.”

“That’s all I saw. No tunnel of light or happy deceased family members welcoming me. I think that’s dreaming, and dying reflect what happens to be most accessible in your mind during that time. Your mind tells you a story about it. I was never afraid during my ordeal, I was just a dispassionate observer. Amazingly, the only lasting effect of my seven minutes of code blue is a slightly diminished capacity of my short-term memory.”
