Bringing this thread back up because this has been on my mind lately. I've had recurring dreams about this same place (not the dreams i mentioned in the thread from yesterday). Anyway, this one was about my death.
It's the 1700's, judging by the attire of the people around me. Just a guess. I'm a nobody, barely visible, so I'm a little surprised at the crowd of people who came to see me hang. I feel contempt for them; I don't appreciate them coming out to watch me die. Not sure what my crime was, but I'm angry and feel that an injustice is being done to me. But I'm determined to go out with dignity, so I show as little emotion as possible. No final words, my voice might shake. I just stare straight ahead. I'm shaking, but weirdly calm in a way.
I feel the rope, I hear a loud bang, and I drop. I feel myself jolt, swing a little, then fade out.
This is where it gets awesome. I float out of myself, over the onlookers and accusers. Suddenly I understand Everything, and I feel love and compassion for everyone. I feel an indescribable peace. No words do it justice, seriously. And I'm surrounded by light, it's around me, it's in me, everything is light. It was amazing and felt absolutely real.
Weird, right? It sounds trippy, but no drugs were involved. That's the only death I know of, but I'm quite new to this; maybe I'll remember others as I go.
