Actually I did almost die. I was dead for a few minutes until they brought me back. Dying does feel sort of like falling asleep only without the actual feeling of tiredness. Everything feels heavier and heavier and your sight dims until you are done for.
Being dead? Personally I think you get what you believe in. Some people think it's just your brain misfiring, but either way you're going to see something when you die and you won't be able to "wake up" from it unless you make it back to life. Good luck with that,
My last experience with death is that I zoned out and back in for an hour long while my wife kept punching me to keep me here. She hit me good with an uppercut and that's when I discovered I'd rather stay for a while.
Also, shit just paled and grayed until it was a static image, a very old image. Weird stuff, dying.
If you end up in one of two hollow places in Sheol, yes, it's sleep for a very long time. However, some people are fully awake if they go to the other hollow place. And then some people end up in some sort of paradise.
As far as death... for those who don't make it to the new world and heaven, you could say it is permanent sleep. It's the absolute erasement of existence. It's nothing, so to speak.

It's just like the time before you were born.

I had some serious pulmonary issues a few years ago as a result of another physical malady I have. Breathing got really shallow, ended up in the hospital. Both lungs started to collapse.
My first night in hospital, I fell asleep sitting up, and was suddenly aware of an immensely heavy feeling washing over my entire body. It was dark in the room, but kept getting darker, almost like turning the contrast on your tv waaaayyyy down. The heaviness was so fucking strong, my entire body just felt like "down".
Somehow, I managed to come around. I woke semi coherent, and all I could groggily say was "fuck. Oh fuck."
A nurse happened to be on the room tending to another patient. She heard me just spouting slurry fuck's and asked if I was OK. I don't remember answering her. I laid down in bed and went back to sleep with an oxygen mask on. This time, the sleep didn't feel heavy.

I never told anyone what happened. It didn't dawn on me until months later that I had probably died for a short time. I'm so fucking scared of death.

This isn't deep or insightful, fuck off
I don't know what happens and I'm not gonna think to much about it all I know is that death is a part of life which we all go through sooner or later preferably later but does it really matter? Probably not so I don't really give to many shits about my life expectancy. If I feel like I wanna have a smoke I'm gonna have a smoke.

Being in a coma =/= dying.
>>18230566
could you feel time passing?
No one came back to tell us how death is like.
Fuck off all of you atheist, astral faggots and whoever claims otherwise.
