I had an accident in the coal mines I worked at probably 25 years ago. A piece of machinery pinned me against the rib(coal wall). The accident happened so fast that my brain must have thought I was going to die because my life flashed before my eyes. I don’t know how long this went on but the next thing I know, my co-worker was backing the piece of machinery off of me. The only thing that was actually hurt was my leg. The machinery had trapped me against the rib and had my leg pinned. So it wasn’t like I was really in any danger of dying. However I think because it happened so fast and my brain didn’t realize what had happened it assumed I was going to die. Anyway, there is no denying that I did see very clearly different pictures of all these different times in my life and events that had happened starting from an early age and up. So I know for a fact that we do have something in us that triggers that affect and it has to have something to do with some kind of chemicals that are released when you think you are dying. I have no idea if this happens right before you actually die or not but I do know it happened to me when my brain evidently thought I was dying.

R u still writing your book? I’d like to read it if you have finished. I’m searching for occurrences similar to my own. While my life has never flashed before my eyes, other people’s lives do. I’ve always been like this but I rarely speak of it. I’m an average person. I’m married with 2 kids and my family is great. I was raised in a loving home, went on to college, started a business…. I’m very average. I have no history of abuse, mental illness or drug use. Sometimes, when I look into someone’s eyes, I see their life flash in my head in one quick second. The images are usually horrific. Usually, I politely avoid these people. But sometimes, I swear they know what I’ve seen. Have you come across this while writing your book?

Similar to what Shippo said. Expect I have these dreams frequently and my life flashes backwards starting with most recent events to least recent events in my life. I have also had the near-death life-flashing-experience but to me that was my fears recalling everything i held dear and loved before my life (or so i thought) was going to end… so idk..

Growing up I lived in a very small town. There wasn’t much to do but drive around and find your friends and just hang out in a parking lot. Well some of us had a very adventurist attitude and were always doing crazy things. Like jumping from one vehicle to another while moving at 50+ miles an hour. When we got older we didn’t have much time to hang out anymore because we had jobs. It was especially hard for me because I had two jobs at the time of the accident. I was working one job in the morning for eight hours then another in the evening for another eight. The day of the accident I called out of work so I could hang out with my friends and girlfriend at the time. The day stared out great but people started to leave and then it was just me and a buddy sitting in my apartment watching TV. We were board until a commercial for Mountain Dew came on with people climbing a Mountain. We knew then what we were going to do next. We have been climbing an old rock quarry for years. It was about 65 ft. high and in a horse shoe shape next to a road. It takes half an hour to get there. I drove and parked the car next to the road. We started climbing opposite sides of the rock quarry. He was almost at the top and I was a little over 45 Ft. There was this big boulder sticking out of the cliff. I thought I would try standing on it to rest awhile. I had my two feet on the boulder but was still hanging on the side of the quarry with my hands. It seemed to hold my weight so I let one hand hold go and then slowly the other. About five seconds after that I heard a noise and then it was like one of the Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner cartoons. I looked down and could see the boulder falling away from me. I know it’s weird but I swear that I hung in the air just like in the cartoons. I don’t know for how long but to me the time seemed significantly long. If I had a sign that said “YIKES!” I would have held it up. Even stranger was what was going on in my head. I started remembering things that I was sure that I had long forgot. I even started having images in my head of my life and it was so crystal clear, almost like I was reliving it, like a movie. I have always heard the saying “Your life flashing before your eyes.”

i was on google when i found this page due to what happend to me a few hours ago on7/22/12. I was with 3 friends in the car driving down 50 (a road in bithlo florida. As we are driving at 60mph we see a car come flying out of the gas station it felt like in less than a second the car was right infront of us head on. This is when i blacked out and saw my entire life (even the smallest things i would never think of any other day) literally flash befor my eyes. it all happend in lest than a second because i still remember the girl who was driving barely miss a pole in the median and still almost go into on comming traffic. the people in the other car were two black males who i was then scolding but they just looked at us and sped off again. Me and the girl in the back seat were not wearing seatbelts so it really did make me realize how lucky i am to still be here right now and this has changed my perspective on many things. i know someone was lookin out for me from up above today.

I have went through an experience. Im 15, and i had this vision when i was, i dont know mabye 6. This happened to me while i was asleep, or a dream if you would. I wasnt dieing or anything I just woke up and had no memory of having a subconsious before that time. My whole life flashed before me, but unlike most dreams where its third person point of view, it was first person point of view. When I woke up I didnt know who I was nor what I looked like. I’ll never forget that day and the words I said when i woke up. “Wow” and then I walked over to the mirror beside my bed and I said “Damn I’m ugly”. I constantly get dejavoos more then most people and I think because my flash showed me the future as well. I always wonder if anyone else has had this experience.

most flashbacks/ hallucinations are caused by a dmt fluxuation in the brain reasulting in seeing ur life or a white light or in rare cases some people clame seeing alternet universes. DMT is also what causes u to dream reasulting in those dreams that make no sence. i have never seen my life flash but i have seen reality slow down to microseconds and seen my self falling like i was watching from 20ft away (out of body) all these are chemical reactions from dmt in your brain as well as dreams portraying the future although rare and generally not belived by the public these different reactions caused by circumstances and dmt

I often have lucid dreams, that are so mundane, and ordinary. And then within a few days or weeks I experience extreme deja vu, like the dream was a preview. And it’s not simple deja vu, as in one or two things are similar, but word for word conversations, surroundings and other sounds.

During my first near-death experience many years ago (a near drowning) I actually expected to experience a life review of some type, but it never came. Before I lost consciousness,my last thought was that I hadn’t expected to die this way. Last December, when I nearly died in childbirth, there were some flashbacks of a sort, rapidly cycling through memories of loved ones and profound regret that I would die without ever seeing my child’s face. I was frightened during the ordeal, but the over-riding emotion was sorrow.

In both cases, I recall seeing “stars” like another poster mentioned above.
