תיאור החוויה
I inhaled the gas, as the nurse said I should, for a long while. A long time passed, and then the dentist increased the percentage of pure gas. I remember I had palpitations, felt horror; anxiety and that I couldn't move or adjust my vision. I felt sheer panic and remember I wanted the nurse and dentist to see from the look in my eyes that something was terribly wrong with me.
Then I heard a loud ringing sound, like bells, in my ears, which kept on getting louder, the sound continued, and I thought it sounded so awful. God, I have to ‘wake up’, I thought, because something terrible is going to happen -- high anxiety. Then I remember I was in a dark place that seemed to be spinning around me, but after a while, I noticed it was me that was 'drawn' forward at high speed towards a small light. I stopped there and felt rather sad because I thought I had really died, and I grieved the loss of my daughter, that I wouldn't be able to see her any more (she was seven years old at the time).
I heard two different female voices talking to me. I don't remember everything they said, but it was a lot, and the sound came from behind me. I wanted to turn around, but couldn't. They said, ‘Madeleine, the purpose of your life is, among other things, to try to have as much fun as possible, forget the sad things that happened and laugh and smile as much as you possibly can. Everything is going to be all right for you. Humor is very important,’ the two women said.
I remember having a kind of sinking feeling in my stomach all the time, and it went on when I was drawn out of my body and 'ended up' in a corner of the room. From there I watched the other two who were working with me. In a second or so I was beside the right cheek of the dentist, and I could feel his beard brushing against my left cheek. It was a shocking experience to be so close to him without him seeing or feeling my presence.
I heard them talking to one another, saying that I had stopped breathing. He said he would do heart massage, which he proceeded to do. I saw that all color drained from my face 'down below in the chair', and I got very scared. Then these bells came back in my ears and I felt the sinking feeling in my stomach even stronger. All at once, I was lying in the chair with the dentist hanging over me with a sweaty face. I started crying hysterically when I told them what happened to me. They were pretty calm about it and comforted me. He said he noticed that I was 'gone' for a while and that it can happen if the percentage of pure gas is wrong, he said he had it happen before. I went to a psychologist directly afterwards and talked about this experience.

מרכיבי NDE
בזמן החוויה שלך, האם הייתה אירוע מסכן חיים הקשור?
Uncertain They gave me gas when I was getting my teeth fixed. The gas amount was not correctly administered, and as a result I was exposed to a wrong dosage of gas for a long time. The dentist pounded on my chest pretty hard several times.The dentist said afterwards that I stopped breathing completely, and because of it he felt an urgent need to wake me up rather abruptly, by pounding on my chest and shaking me.

Out of body experience
האם הרגשת מנותק מגופך?
Yes In a purely physical sense I felt small, as if it was only my head that 'went' up to Stefan, the dentist. I couldn't see my body, the feeling was so different from everything else, so it's a bit difficult to find the right words.

Strong emotional tone
האם נראה פתאום שהבנת הכל?
Everything about the universe I got some knowledge as to what my life was supposed to be about, among other things that humor was important to me. I'm the humorous kind of person; I have always liked humor and crazy pranks, so it might seem somewhat strange that they gave me such an order, because I already had a lot of humor in my life.
האם סצנות מהעבר שלך חזרו אליך?
My past flashed before me, out of my control

אחרי ה-NDE
האם היה קשה להביע את החווייה במילים?
No
האם יש לכם כישורים נפשיים, לא רגילים או אחרים לאחר חווייתכם שלא היו לכם לפני החוויה?
Yes Sometimes dreams that come true, I see energy around people and plants very clearly, hear a voice in my left ear sometimes 'talking' to me. Don't know who it is. Can spontaneously 'see' images around a person about their state of health among other things. Can see spirits at home and in other people's homes. My intuition became very strong afterwards.
האם ישנם חלק אחד או מספר חלקים בחווייתכם שהם בעלי משמעות או חשובים במיוחד עבורכם? אנא הסבירו.
The worst was the anxiety, which I thought I was going to die, and that I couldn't move. The best was the parapsychological aftereffects. A deep understanding within, a kind of confirmation that there is something more.
האם אי פעם שיתפתם את החוויה הזו עם אחרים?
Yes The few who know about it have never even for a second laughed, doubted my experience or ridiculed me in any way. I've been treated kindly.
