NDE: EVERYTHING WAS SO CLEAR, VIVID & REAL
What Researchers Found
The Story
Lamar Dixon, a law enforcement officer with sleep apnea, experienced his NDE while sleeping after a long day. He woke up with spiritual eyes and realized he had died. He saw space with galaxies, stars, and a faint Earth. He judged himself in a life review, debating with his higher self about unaccomplished goals and people he could have treated better. He felt unity with all human consciousness and was enveloped in a blanket of love that comforted him. He perceived a tunnel stretching across the universe and entered it instantly by thought. He traveled through it, passing stars and planets, while information about his life purpose downloaded into him. He saw new conscious colors and a pulsating home planet. As he particleized to merge, a hand stopped him and told him it was not his time. He returned through the tunnel and slammed back into his body. After waking up sweating, he told his ex-wife he had died. He struggled with depression and a sense of letdown. He searched online for other NDE stories to cope. He started a podcast with his twin brother to share human experiences and connect people. He cut back on NDE content to live fully and shares his story to help others feel connected and unafraid of death.
