Can a soul get stuck after a violent death without realizing they've died?

“You know, I left my body and the essence of me, who I am, was basically hovering above my body, and I watched as my body fell to the ground, and I was just, you know, I guess a free-floating soul would be how to describe it.”3:12

“The next thing I know, I was outside my body. I didn't feel myself leave, I was just floating outside the condo watching the action. I was floating about two stories high near the steps downstairs. In retrospect, I don't think I died until the EMTs left the condo because my friend's wife started CPR right away. I now know that I was in between death and life at that time.”1:40

“So, I, you know, I was in and out of consciousness and I didn't feel any. I can remember the assault, however, and I was fighting, but I didn't feel any pain. And so I was fighting and then all of a sudden I was out of my body. And so I remember I was pretty high up. I wasn't like hovering over my body. I was like, probably it was a very high view of what was happening. And so it was like the whole. I just saw my body just lifeless and I ruptured my tibial artery so I bled out a lot. So I just remember seeing this body that I'm in right now, just there, lifeless, and blood all around. And my soul, my spirit, my consciousness, which is who we really are, was like, oh, I'm dead.”8:57

“Um, I wasn't feeling a really a lot of bad things. I was just thinking, darn, I died so young. But I am completely alive and well. But, I mean, my body, clearly dead. And so that was the that was the experience of my memory. I saw three bodies and didn't know how I got there. For a few moments, I was completely disoriented.”14:08

“was floating approximately one to two floors of a high-rise building above the water. That instant, I was perplexed. I found myself having no body floating. Immediately, I felt strange how this happened. That I was bodyless and feeling lightweight. While I was floating up in the air, I saw two of my classmates on the surface. The way I watched them was like zooming in on a camera. There was something in the water that looked like it was me. Feeling unsure as I thought, then I realized that I had died. Right at this moment,”7:25

“in my body. If there was one thing I had I I didn't care at all. I realized it was my body. I realized I was dead and I had no concern for my body because I realized in that moment my body was nothing more than a shell built to house my soul. But the one thing I thought about was Go ahead. Did you I mean did you still have a body? Did you feel like yourself? Yeah, I totally felt like myself. I felt like myself, but I was 30t up in the air. I felt like I could see. I had hands. I had feet. I could”11:48

“floor and trying to drag myself back up into the bed. That is when I lost consciousness. The next time my eyes opened, I was hovering above my body. At first, I just looked at my body lying there with a look of pain on my face. I didn't feel any kind of connection to that body anymore. I was neither sad nor sympathetic for it. I think some part of me realized right then that this body we use while alive was always meant to pass away. It is no different than an outfit we try on only to discard later when we no longer”2:12

“Couldn't see anything. Pitch black. And as I said, I was floating now. But when I looked down at my arms, I didn't have any arms. I hadn't got a body. So, even though I was controlling my breathing, sure, I probably wasn't breathing at all because I didn't have a body. It's just must have been consciousness of some sort. Maybe your soul if you want. So, I'm here and I'm thinking to myself, am I going to stay here forever? um what what's going on? Um how did I get here? And what's next? So I was fairly relaxed, but as I said,”6:36

“you know, because I actually feel like I died for a period of time. There's just that just the experience makes me think that I did. And what was your exact question just so you answer it correctly again? Well, just how did you feel out of body? Did it feel normal? Did you feel pain? I didn't feel pain. I felt like light. Luminous like a luminous presence. No pain like I was in a in the light like or I was the light. It felt like I was obviously I was flying in a sense. And so my soul was light. I don't”14:06

“This happened automatically without any action of my own. I was surrounded in a black void that was somewhat uncomfortable. I needed to get my bearings and was aware that, even though I couldn't see my body anymore, I was still 'myself' with all my feelings, character traits and thinking. Having or not having a body was irrelevant. I felt good, light, and free. I was pure consciousness. I had a clear mind, a strong will and a crystal clear perception. I also had additional abilities that are not possible in earthly life.”1:15

“I knew I knew I was out of body because I was floating, and but I, and so I looked around. I could then I could see my dead body below me. I was about the height of a basketball hoop, not too high, where it was high, just low enough where you could jump off and not get hurt, about eight feet, height of any ceiling. I saw my dead body realized and remembered that I had just died. And then realized, but I'm still alive, and that's a super happy feeling.”18:21

“So it felt good, until I realized that I was dying, and it was like my breath was slowing down. I felt like I was falling into a hole. Then the next thing I know, I'm standing beside myself and I'm looking at my dead body on the couch. And oddly enough, like it didn't seem strange to me. Like I knew that I had died and I was looking at my body, but it wasn't odd, it wasn't strange.”5:31

“I believe what was happening is my soul had left my body, but here I was in this light, wondering, 'How can I possibly be okay?'”6:54

“I merely asked myself, "Where is my body? simply because it was missing. My whole body was gone whereas I was still present and that's what surprised me. But if this was just a figment of my imagination or if it's somehow related to death, it's hard to say. All I know is that my brain wasn't supplied with blood for some time, perhaps for about 45 seconds, causing me to lose physical sensation. But when you were inside this tunnel, you felt comfortable and in a certain sense, you felt free as well. I felt”2:48
