Passage to death?
I had a really bad dream few years back. I dreamt that when i opened my eyes, i come face-to-face with my own body lying in front of me. At that sudden moment, i felt like crying. I feel that heaven is unfair for letting me die so early. I feel that it’s so unfair that I didn’t even have the time to even say my last words. [Have i really prepared for it anyway, or must we?]
I am going to miss my parents, my hubby and best friends badly. I couldn’t talk to them anymore nor could they see me as they come to terms with my body. I eventually attended my own funeral.
Come to think of it, is death really that scary? Is it really that painful? Is it really the end of a life’s journey or it’s just a beginning of another new journey, elsewhere… Is it true that one is able to see their dead relatives or even their enemies in this so-called foreign land?
Not sure why, but i tend to relate this dream of mine to the current book i am reading. it sounds so familiar.
Heard of Near-Death-Experiences (NDEs)? Meaning, when a patient is coded, he will be ‘transported’ to a strange place where he will come face to face with a few doors, a dark place. If somebody calls him, he will be come back to earth and be alive again. Else.. if he continues to walk on along the passage, he might eventually be dead and not be resuscitated successfully. Does this really happen? It sounds pretty sad and scary at the same time.
Ever wonder if it’s true that when one is dead [even if it’s for that split second], they see a tunnel and light? For me, i think it truly depends on your religion. If you are a Christian, maybe you will die and join the Lord in heaven. If you are a Buddhist, maybe you will join the queue and wait for your turn to be reincarnated etc.. then what about free-thinkers? They roam earth like harmless souls? ah… regretfully, no one actually know the truth and those who have passed on are no longer able to communicate to us what’s really happening on the other side.
