I asked my mother what she remembered about my drowning (NDE).

The Story
Peggy was a young girl, about five years old. She drowned in a pond during a family swimming outing. Underwater, she drifted to the bottom and lost consciousness. She slipped out of her body and floated above the pond. She observed her mother and Terry sitting on a bedsheet talking near the water. At the other end, she saw John swimming laps on a board. Her body was not visible, sunk to the bottom. John dove repeatedly until he found her and pulled her out. She woke up coughing water as he carried her over his shoulder to the house. Twenty years later, after her two pregnancies, Peggy remembered the full details of the experience and asked her family about the drowning incident.
Strong medical severity from prolonged submersion in drowning with clinical unconsciousness. Specific, matching details of family positions (bed sheet by highway side, John doing laps, Terry present) verified indirectly through mother's prompted recall. Lacks immediate reporting and direct confirmation of unique elements like the bed sheet, capping at high strength.
Score reflects verifiable perceptions reported. A low score indicates the experience was primarily spiritual or subjective, not that it didn't occur.

Was this Experience Depth score useful?
Score reflects transformation as described. Domains scored 0 indicate the topic was not discussed, not that no change occurred.
