The Dream After My Accident

In 1987, I was surfing at Virginia Beach, Virginia. On this particular day, my surfboard hit a wave which sent me falling off of the board head first. I hit the ocean floor and was instantly paralyzed. After being brought ashore, I started to loose consciousness. The last thing I recall was someone attempting CPR.

While all of this was taking place, I was having the most pleasant dream or vision. It was similar to what people say when they have an "out-of-body" experience. I saw myself standing on the beach , while at the same time I was watching myself surfing on the waves. Everything was in slow motion and very colorful. It was a sunny day, the sky was blue, and the water was reflecting the different colors from the sun. Everything was so colorful, and at the same time I was in a very peaceful state as if nothing was wrong.

I do not recall how long this lasted, but I was awakened from my dream while I was in the ambulance. The paramedic asked me if I had any allergies to medication and I told him no. Everything around me was in a blur. I saw a paramedic working above me and could hear the sounds of the sirens coming from the ambulance. Soon after that I went unconscious again.

This was the beginning of my second dream or vision experience. Once again, everything I saw was very colorful and realistic. I found myself looking into deep space, which was very dark. During the dream, I heard constant ticking of what sounded like a metronome. To the left of where I was looking was a bright light. I did not see a tunnel, as people have said in their experiences, but just the bright glow of some light. In the center of where I was looking was the face of a woman that I knew vaguely. She was the friend of one of my roommates and I had met her briefly. She constantly had a smile on her face and was reassuring me that everything was going to be all right. As I looked to the right, I noticed a bright chrome ball floating in space towards the light. I did not pay much attention to it at first.

While my visionary friend was talking to me, another scene seemed to be taking place in the background.There were two men in white outfits pushing a stretcher through an emergency door. I noticed that the person on the stretcher had the sheet covering the entire body, like someone who has passed away. At first I thought it might be me, but when I looked at my friend, she said it was her husband, who was in the Navy at the time.

At this time I noticed that the chrome ball was drifting closer to the light. Somehow in my mind, I was told that the chrome ball represented the world and that I had to stop it from reaching the light. Looking at my visionary friend, I began to have feelings of anxiety, because I did not know how to stop this chrome ball from reaching the light. She continued to smile and reassure me that everything was going to be all right. Still I began to feel panic of not knowing what to do. I felt helpless. The constant ticking noise was still going on as the chrome ball got even closer to the light. Drifting through space, the chrome ball turned into a glass ball. I knew that the ball would explode if it got near the light and this would end everything. As I watched the ball come close to entering the light, it suddenly exploded into thousands of pieces of glass. The pieces of glass reflected colors that were very bright. Everything happened in slow motion. Within seconds I awoke in the emergency room.

Even today I can recall everything I saw in this "dream" as if it just happened.
