Her NDE is very accurate of a description of the crossing over through the earthbound realm to heaven. The dark shadow being trying to kill her and take her life because she is a threat against evil is a very real phenominon happening right now. I had a demon through demonic possesion of my ex tell me the same thing and then several days later me ex tried to strangle me to death. Her experience was real. We lightworkers that spread love and detest evil are a constant threat to the darkside. No matter ur religion good and evil exist and when you work heavily with the good side, you will always experience spiritual warfare.

Basically, what everyone is refering to is the hypnogogic state. There's nothing really paranormal about it and it rather is just your imagination. This generally happenes when your mind is on the verge of unconciousness - the state of transition from wake to sleep where you mind manages to stay concious.

Everything that everyone has mentioned, that I have read in this thread, seems to be classic visual and audial experiences that align 100% with hypnogogia. The imagery, sound and even feeling can be extremely real, but that's how the brain works - they're just electrical signals!
I don't mean to burst anyone's bubble, but if you step outside of your own belief constructs to research this phenomena then you'll find a great deal of information that will clear this issue up as it's been researched heavily for quite some years now.
All the best,

Shadow people resist all attempts at controlling them. Plus hypnogogic images are pretty random, the odds of any two people seeing the same thing being astronomical. The consistency of shadow person behavior and appearance is nothing like hypnogogic imagery.

The consistancy of "shadow people" and their behavior throughout many people's experiences could simply just be a phenomena of the brain entering or exiting the REM state and not something paranormal. It's even more likely for it to happen when talked about in such manner throughout communities and especially the Internet, as our minds are very susceptable to the idea such things.
Originally posted by The CuspIf that were the case, then there should be other examples of different mind fabrications that are identical. The fact is there isn't. Not even the "old hag" of sleep paralysis is consistent in appearance and behavior.
