i have survived near death experiences.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A near-death experience (NDE) is a personal experience associated with death or impending death. Such experiences may encompass a variety of sensations including detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution, and the presence of a light. NDEs are a recognized part of some transcendental and religious beliefs in an afterlife. Neuroscience research suggests that an NDE is a subjective phenomenon resulting from \"disturbed bodily multisensory integration\" that occurs during life-threatening events. The equivalent French term \"exp\u00e9rience de mort imminente\" (experience of imminent death) was proposed by the French psychologist and epistemologist Victor Egger as a result of discussions in the 1890s among philosophers and psychologists concerning climbers' stories of the panoramic life review during falls. In 1892 a series of subjective observations by workers falling from scaffolds, war soldiers who suffered injuries, climbers who had fallen from heights or other individuals who had come close to death (near drownings, accidents) was reported by Heim. This was also the first time the phenomenon was described as clinical syndrome.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "How familiar are you with NDE and what are you curious to know about them?  NDE is Near death experience."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I'm not very familiar with NDE or Near death experience. My husband almost died in a truck accident but I have never personally experienced one."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Sorry to hear about your husband.  Glad he survived.  Hopefully I'm not intruding asking about this, but did you husband experience a NDE?  It can include feeling a detachment from your body,  levitation, warmth, security, the precense of light."}, {"role": "user", "content": "No, he did not. There was an acceptance that he would probably die, but he never had those attributes of  near death experienc."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Okay I understand.  is there anything you would like to discuss in particular about NDE?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I have never heard of warmth and security attributed to NDE. Is that a common occurance?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I am unsure. I don't have the numbers.  But these sensations have been reported in many cases from workings falling from scaffolds to war soldiers aching from injuries and also too climbers who've tumbled off of cliffs."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That is very interesting. Does NDE happen across different cultures as well? "}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Yes.  I've heard of it in American media, but also the French have a term for it too.  They call it  \"exp\u00e9rience de mort imminente\".  Seems to happen on the other side of the Atlantic."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I find that really fascinating. How far back to recorded incidents of NDE go?"}]
