Experience description:

I was living alone. I had scheduled a weeks vacation. came home from work feeling fine but later that evening I started getting stomach pain. That night I had to use the toilet. I had diarrhea, went back to bed but an hour later I had to use the toilet again. This time I also had to vomit. For at least 30 I couldn't stop.  This went on all night. Went to bed for an hour got up did diarrhea and vomit thing. There was nothing left in me but I was still going through the motions. the next day I tried to eat a cracker and drink some water. Within minutes I was back to the toilet. I knew I needed water but as soon as I tried to drink any I was back to the toilet. That night the same thing. I was constantly trying to get rid of everything in my stomach through both orifices. I had a couple of bites of a cracker and a few sips of water in two days. The next morning I was totally exhausted and fell asleep.

During that time I had a dream I died and went somewhere. I was stopped by a man with a dark robe with a hood. I never saw his face. In the distance were lots of people. It seemed like they were waiting for me. It was like the feeling you get when you are getting off an airplane and can see your family waiting at the terminal for you to get off the plane. The man said it wasn't my time I had to go back. He wasn't mean, I felt his love and I felt the love of the people in the terminal. I wasn't going back and I knew I didn't have to. I didn't think I had anything to live for, my life was done, I was there, accept it and let me go forward. He showed me what I had to do I had access to all knowledge and convinced me to go back. When I came back I saw my body laying there in bed. I didn't know how I was going to get back in. All of a sudden I was awake. I felt excited and sad at the same time. I was excited with the things I had to do and sad that I had to leave that wonderful place. I felt my body to see if I was alive or if I was still dreaming. Seconds later I couldn't remember what I had to do. I still don't, but I know I haven't done it yet. I know things I don't know I know. Like I know the cure cancer, but it is locked in a file I can't get to. It's so simple I wonder why no one has figured it out yet. I know there is not going to be an going to be a second coming of Jesus. I know there is going to be big wars and big problems but they will be solved by people that have been given the knowledge and training to solve it. I care for life like I never have before. I now longer hunt. I go out of my way not to step on bugs when I hike. And when I kill a mosquito or any other thing I think about the life I terminated.  

I had been asleep for 48 hours. When I woke up my fever was gone I felt much better. I was thirsty but not too hungry I had some water and soup and it stayed down.
