I was admitted on April 13 or 14, 2014. In my visions I was in a kind of cave with galleries above, below, north, south, east and west. I was totally surrounded. These galleries seemed to have no end.

The rock from which they was formed was a translucent white color that reflected lights that were mainly of violet, orange, cyan, and some others colors. In addition, there were pillars that ran from the ground up and from the ceiling to the ground.

The place was full of people; there were those who were having a really bad time and wanted to leave, another group that seemed to be having a good time, people walking, quiet people, people meditating ... there were all kinds, really, but the one that most caught my attention was a man next to those pillars who was addressing everyone: "The end is near, repent."

I was walking, seeing everything around me, observing, and although I had no idea of the time, I felt as if at least 3-4 days passed.

Within this space, I suddenly came to be surrounded by figures that looked like my relatives (still alive), and when I tried to get up, because we were sitting, that's when I woke up at dawn on April 20, 2014.

At the time of your experience was there an associated life-threatening event?   Uncertain.  At the time of the experience, I felt that I could choose (not 100%, but somehow), and that's why I'm still alive, since it was I myself who could threaten my life.

Was the experience difficult to express in words?  No    

At what time during the experience were you at your highest level of consciousness and alertness?      The whole time. And I didn't feel like I had to be alert or anything ... I just walked around and watched people, like many others out there who behaved like me.

How did your highest level of consciousness and alertness during the experience compare to your normal everyday consciousness and alertness?      Less consciousness and alertness than normal   ...

Please compare your vision during the experience to your everyday vision that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience.   The same I suppose. Being a place of dim lights, well, everything looked different, but it was because of the place.

Please compare your hearing during the experience to your everyday hearing that you had immediately prior to the time of the experience.   I think it was the same, but also due to the nature of the place, the sounds were different, I think, with more reverberation.

Did you suddenly seem to understand everything?   No

Did you reach a boundary or limiting physical structure?   No

During your experience, did you encounter any specific information / awareness that you either did (or did not) exist prior to this lifetime?   Uncertain.   Maybe that man who said the end was near. But he could have been a nut case, like many in that place. Me included, walking like a zombie, looking and freaking out about everything.

How accurately do you remember the experience in comparison to other life events that occurred around the time of the experience?   I do not know how my remembrance of the experience compares to my remembrance of other life events.   At the time I remembered it much better than now, truly...
