Was hoping someone would post with personal experience of coma / near-death. Thx 1874. More info for me to take onboard.

Hey, Tigger, was the number you were thinking of 1874?

I was in a coma a few years ago (induced due to brain infection) I don't remember any of it so I'm not help to you at all

How do I know you are outside my coma / dream? I could be dreaming that you answered my post. It's just txt on a screen to me.

When I was an inexperienced driver many years ago, on a night drive from Dublin to Cork, I overtook a truck. It seemed safe, but the lights in the distance (another truck) approached quicker than I judged. I barely made it back to my own side of the road. Really, there was only inches in it, and lots of horns being blown. The more I think about it, the more I think that I didnt make it that night. Did I die?

Is everything since then a figment of my own mind? Like Lost? Or am I in a coma? You know the way dreams can seem so real and time passes differently.

So, am I dead?

I am aware that if I am dead / coma / Lost, then all the replies from AH will actually be coming from from my own subconscious. I did think that because of this (answers coming from myself) that I would ask complicated Qs that I could not know the answer to (like quantum physics, or Venezulan coffee markets) and then Google the answer... But, my brain would be providing the Google answer too! How could I ever trust any answer (or AH post) if everything comes from my own brain?

So, lets reverse that. If everything comes from me, then one of you out there will be able to tell me something about myself that no other person on the planet could know. It would be like my subconscious was trying to tell me I am, in fact, dead. If no one can do this, then maybe I am alive, and all the weird things that have happened to me are just flukes and chance.

So tell me what you know, or is there another way to know for sure?

Pinch yourself on the finger, foot or the Penis,Vagina depending on which you have or had if you want to feel it more to find out but I would say since you are posting here you are alive unless you are a ghost that can access items in the living world.

Well OP,

You are probably existing, but not living
