Near Death Experience?

[Guest guest]

Hi Folks:

I wonder if any of you have ever had an experience

like this:

I almost died in my sleep last night. I am sure of

it. It wasn't a dream..I was semi-conscious. I was

aware of what was going on. I could see my body in

the bed and my room. My whole body was paralysed and

the only part that was working were my eye-lids. I

was breathing but it was very shallow and slow. I

could feel myself sinking...my mind was very alert and

so I was forcing myself to LIVE..I just wouldn't give

up. This battle went on for quite a while and then

finally I snapped out of it. It was so scary that I

sat on the edge of my bed for a long time..too

frightened to go back to sleep. I was wishing that I

had someone I could have talked to then.

I do have this fear that I will die in my sleep. My

grandmother did.

I wonder if it is the fatigue? Perhaps if fatigue got

so bad, could it slow one's breathing down to a

complete stop? Especially when a person is

unconscious in sleep? I am so frightened. I am

afraid to go to sleep now. I don't know what to do!!!

Any feedback would be GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you.

Hugs, Lynne
