Have you ever had your life flash before your eyes?

[SIPAWITZ]

im asking cause my daughter was in a car wreck (shes fine a little bruised) last night and said she saw her life pass before her eyes.

it happened to me in 1981 when i had to jump off a huffy into a catwalk to avoid being killed by an incoming plane that was heading straight for me.

it happened so fast but i remember seeing my house, my parents and my car



just curious to see if this has happened to others here

[Gomez]

not too sure how it happens

[SIPAWITZ]

not too sure how it happens

its amazing how the brain would trigger this

[PullMyFinger]

Never.

I've never really been in a situation where I thought I was about to die either, might have something to do with it.

[SIPAWITZ]

Never.

yea that seems to be the only time it happens...and i dont think it happens when your life is threatened by lets say a hostage or shooting incedent

it has to be a sudden and unexpected

Perhaps our brains are searching our memories like a catalog looking for solutions to a life threatening problem we have never encountered and our conscience is just going along as an observer, as ancient alien theorists believe.

interesting...seems plausible

yeah, sounds like a memory dump

what do you mean?

My life didn't flash before my eyes but I did have very strange thoughts and emotions before I lost consciousness.

That's actually a really interesting theory!

well, the memory sections of our brains are basically organic computers, so if the computer thinks it's getting turned off, it could seek to protect the information in a memory dump, say into a new container (that in this case might not be quite ready)

What's a huffy?

Uploading to St. Peter for the performance review.

Yep, massive internal blood loss. I went blind and deaf before I lost consciousness.
