Topic: What do you make of this?
Hello everyone. I did a search about a similar subject on these forums but came up with nothing and wanted to know if anyone had experienced anything similar, and if so, what conclusions you came to. So here goes:
A couple of years ago my closest friend of 10 years committed suicide.
The night after he died, I was drifting off (still mostly awake), and all at the same time I felt the following things:
Being dragged backwards up the wall slowly,
Uncomfortable awareness of my pulse in my neck
My tongue expanding until it felt like it was the size of a mandarin.
I can't express how vivid this all was, it wasn't a dream.
I jerked back to being awake, terrified, and a painting came off its hook.
He had hanged himself, and while I knew this, at that point, I wasn't aware of the exact condition he was found in, and I will spare you the unpleasant details, but it turns out that he didn't hang himself from high enough to break his neck.
Because I was already mad with grief, I had always dismissed it as 'mad-with-grief mind reconstructing events' - that's the easiest and least incriminating explanation I've come up with anyway
. I'm also open to the possibility that it was a visit, but I have no idea why such a horrible visit was necessary.
Anyways, I just thought I'd put this out there, wondering if anybody has experienced something similar, or has any insight into a scenario like this.
Thanks for reading this.
