NDE's & Consciousness Issues
 

I had an experience that some of you may not believe. It makes no difference to me. I know it's the truth. I didn't think something like this could ever happen, but it did.

About a year ago, I was in a car accident; my wife died. I nearly did, too. But somehow, as crazy as it sounds, my consciousness transferred over to her physical form. Since then, I've literally been stuck as her.

My physical form (body) couldn't survive the injuries from the crash. I can only assume her consciousness transferred over to my physical form (as mine transferred to her physical form), and she passed on when my physical form perished.

I do realize that this seems out there. It's been a hard change for me.

I just needed to share my experience. So there it is. Take it how you will.

Ok, so I have some questions about all this. Are you her right now? What the hell is going on here?

If you would like to share an experience like this I'm going to have to have more details about what actually occurred.
:)

So you're a dude trapped in a woman's body now? And everyone around you thinks you are your wife? How is it being a woman?

It's really different. I've gotten used to it, but I wouldn't wish it on any guy.

Most importantly, please tell the rest of your former manfolk that PMS is not a joke.

kthnxbai

Trust me, labrat, I know.

And why are you sitting at a computer now typing instead of hanging out at home playing with your breasts?

Ghost Whisperer is on tonight! Someone is forgetting to cross over.

Ok, I don't mean this to sound callous, but I'm trying to wrap my mind around it. Your wife died in the car crash, but her consciousness transferred to your body, and vice versa. But if her body couldn't sustain life, and your consciousness passed into it, wouldn't that mean your consciousness died when her body died? And if that's the case, if "you" are now "your wife", wouldn't it be more appropriate to say that your husband died? Either way, it seems like you're talking about a consciousness that shouldn't exist.

I need a drink and a nap now.

What?

Are you sure you aren't just completely grief stricken and think a lot of crazy things? What makes you think she is you?

Uh, because that's not something I have much interest in doing?

Sorry if my explanation was confusing..her body didn't die..my old, male one, did. I know..it's hard to get your head around.

I don't really understand it any more than you do.

I know it probably sounds a little callous, but as a guy, or maybe just as me, if I was transported into a woman's body, the first thing I'd do it try out all the different woman stuff. And as Steve Martin once said in one of his movies, I'd probably sit at home all day playing with my boobs. I mean, they are right there. And you're still a guy right?

Well, it has been a year. I don't really feel or think like a guy anymore.

I think the hardest part for me would be finally having to acknowledge the fact that girls really do poop.

haha..yes, we really do that.

OK, I can buy that. You've obviously had a year to compare and contrast being a man with being a woman. What's it like? What's the biggest surprise?

Did you have trouble falling into your wife's roles in her life? Did she work? Did you go in and take over her job? Or did you try to show up at your old one?

No, she didn't work. And I'm currently in between jobs.

It's different. Periods are really incovenient, and it takes longer to get ready.

I guess the biggest surprise is how some guys assume that you don't know much of anything just because you're a woman.

So you took her body after you died?

Why would you go and do a thing like that? That's crap. I wanna talk to her.
:)

I'm really trying not to giggle, but glatt "try to show up at your old one" is killing me.

OK, seriously, luckyone, I'm sure you know that such claims would be met with disbelief and humor. I don't disbelieve you, I just don't necessarily believe it. If that makes sense.

But there are many things I don't understand.

:lol2:

And how'd the sexual preference thing turn out? Are you now technically a lesbian?

Man, I always wanted to be a lesbian for like a week or so...

My brother always said, the way he figured, he and lesbians had a lot in common.

I didn't choose this. But I do understand why people don't believe it. I wouldn't believe it either, if it didn't happen to me.

I don't know if I am or not. I have conflicting thoughts.

That'd be tough. Either way, you'd technically be gay, huh?

I think you are a shitbag for taking her body after you died. I think you need to give her a chance to get her body back.

I'm tired of talking to you already. I want to talk to her and hear her side of things.

Who caused this accident anyway? How did that happen? Were you driving?

In a way, I suppose.

She's not here. Thanks for being considerate, though.

STOP!

Ouija time...

Duh nuh nuh nuh...

haha

No really. Why would you take her body after you are the one that died? I don't think that's fair at all.

I need to talk to my husband about this, and make sure he doesn't try and pull that kind of stuff. He would do that too.....

So. Do heels make your feet hurt? Are you good at walking in them?

Really, I didn't choose. and I've never walked in heels.

Cic, I think you need to draw up a contract with your husband.

I'm quite lucky in the fact that no one, and I mean NO ONE wants to inhabit my body.

Your user title, "aggregate" aggravator, is apropos.

Yea, I was already all over that Shawnee. I can kill two birds with one stone.

The "you will get me a present for my birthday this year, or at least celebrate it and/or notice that it happened" contract. And the "you will not take my body in case of a NDE, OBE". I can do it all at once.
Oh wait, I need to draw up another one. The "when your friend comes to visit from Europe you will call me from every bar you go to and not get in trouble with the authorities and will not drink and drive anywhere" contract.
:)

I like contracts Shawnee. I've had more ridiculous contracts thrown at me in my time, than those. In fact I think I will create a corresponding form number in case they have to be used more than once.

So every time someone gets their toe over the line I can just say, "I am going to 96578f you".

So, like the government, you're sneaking pork bills into all your contracts?

You got the "don't drink and drive, don't inhabit my body, don't forget my birthday, take me on a cruise, don't get into trouble with the authorites" Bill 5874p?

You're a clever one.

They will all be separate with different clauses and amended previous statements that may refer to documents that do, or do not exist. So as to confuse and fool the signer.
You may be right about pork barreling because I may, or may not, have invisible ink that I can get to show up after the document is signed and dated.

I wonder if I can use my skills when I actually need them, the IRS needs to sign some stuff for me. About the supposed, alleged money I owe them.
:)

What are NDEs?

This thread definitely has potential.

Near-Dingleschmutz-Experiences?

Those cost good money.

sorry, but my BullShitOMeter is buzzing. loudly.

why?

why the hell wouldn't it?

Oh, sorry. I forgot the winking smilie. ;)

Resident expert calls bullshit....Damn. I was having a blast.
;)

I am getting really confused, here...did cloud and cicero switch consciousnesseseseses too?

And let's just *say* we could find a way to control who we switch with....could I pick someone like, say, Sundae Girl? Or does it have to be someone I am physically near?

bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzt!

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I am a schizophrenic,
And so am I.

You know, I would really love switching with people just to see what it's like. But only if I knew I could switch back and everything would be OK.

Like, would my personality change if I was in their body? The body/mind connection is a very strong one. Chemistry and biology control a lot or our personality. Would I be smarter/dumber? Have better/worse memory? Would I remember their memories and not my own, but have the same sense of self? The memories are stored in the brain cells, right? So my memories would probably stay behind.

I was serious before about the whole sex thing too. I have no desire to be a woman, but it would be cool to experience what an orgasm feels like for a woman just for comparison's sake. And I would play with my boobs for a while, unless being in that body gave me a set of hormones that made me not want to.

Case you might have too many personalities for it to work....
;)
One might die but who's to say the 15 others wouldn't take over?

In any case, Case, I think you should sign this contract stating that you do not intend to take over sundae's body, just to be sure.
:D

Have you even *asked* Sundae, yet? Maybe she would agree to it! Gawd, don't go getting all "legal contract" on me at this stage.

Impressive. Usually by the time someone posts something like that in the cellar they've plastered the same post at a dozen other boards first. It looks like we're only your second.

What do you think dwellars, can this be as mysterious and interesting as Titor?

I think you'd at least need to know the physical location of the person you're switching with. I think a google map would be sufficient.

Ok I'll ask...Sundae...Is it ok if you die and case takes over your body?

There. I asked. Maybe you should ask, you might be able to make it sound better caser! I mean, what does sundae get out of it?
:)

more miles?

What, like frequent die-er miles?

No, Cic, you are missing my point, here. I just want to switch with her...I am not talking about getting in a car wreck with her.

Also, HLJ, that is great news. Makes that thread with the aerials of houses quite useful.

Starting now, how will we know if you're case posting as case or as SG, or SG posting as SG or as case? Or even someone else entirely?

we need a magic Tibetan prayer bowl to put everyone back in their own bodies!
