What Happens When We Die?

Many people report seeing unearthly colours, indescribable and unlike anything they have ever seen before, something that SarenVeah describes in another account. Whilst many people chalk up their experience to something supernatural, this Redditor believes that it may well have been a hallucination:

"I felt a feeling of rushing upwards, with a bright, cream coloured light ahead of me. There were a lot of indescribable colours in the beams of this bright light. All while I could see this, it felt like I had relived every second of my life in an instant, and I could even hear some of my friends talking to me.

Then it got quiet.

Then I could hear singing. It sounded like bells. The best I could describe it as is the beginning intro to Fable 2? But that barely compares.

Anyway, I was standing somewhere. There was a fog all around me, and I saw my best friend (who at the time I'd been fighting with and he'd stopped talking to me) come out of the mist. He told me that I couldn't go yet, that I have to keep trying, and if I promised not to give up, he'd see me back on Earth. I wordlessly agreed, and I was instantly pushed (into?) my body.

Cue me bolting straight up and screaming while scaring the hell out of a bunch of nurses and a doctor.

I don't really know what happened. Part of me wants to believe it was the afterlife, part of me believes it was a chemical reaction."
