Background
The following man had a cardiac arrestA description of the experience
I sort of drifted off into something like a dream. This is a very significant event for me. It is very vivid in my mind. In this vision, it was like a greenish or pale green mist and like a valley with sort of like a mountainside up on the left. It was like I was travelling down through this valley. As I was travelling down through it a pale, white vision appeared in front of me. I went on past that vision and another one started to appear and it was my father.
It all seemed very real. As I approached this figure, the detail of it improved and it was definitely my father. He called out to me 'Red, what are you doing here?' My father died in August 1980 and he had always referred to me as Red.
Just as I was approaching him, other visions or figures started to appear behind him at different spots scattered about.
Then in that instant, it seemed that someone grabbed me from the back and started to very rapidly pull me backwards. It was just like a zoom – I zoomed out of this scene and all of a sudden I hear a voice and it's the nurse there yelling at me ,'Wake up. Wake up!'
