I was14 or 16 years old, in a coma, in a hospital. At first, I felt like I was pinned on the wall and electrocuted, then I saw my family from above and later I told them exactly how and where they were in the room and they confirmed.
Back to the hospital situation, I shouted - at least it felt like I shouted - "stop doing this to me, are you all crazy, or what !?!" and I was released, and it was nothing on the wall, and I was floating somehow at ceiling level. They were all talking among themselves and looking at the thing in the bed which was my suit, the body I used to control. I wasn't shocked or scared or even curious about it, I felt like waking up from a deep trance, disoriented but familiar with that state as being my true reality.
I lost very quick any interest in the events unfolding in that small room, and all the walls and ceiling were transparent, like made of glassy smoke, so I went out in the hallway and started exploring the place.
I went back to the hospital after, and everything was as I saw it when I was a ghost, my room was at the end of a long hallway with rooms left and right, and at the other end there were the stairs on the left, two spacious elevators straight ahead and a window on the right wall.
I've never been in that building before. I even went downstairs to an entry that was not used, the big glass doors were there, still chained, unused furniture and all sorts of devices covered in white sheets were in the square hallway exactly as I saw them while being in that weird state. The park at the rear of the building, the benches, the bushes and the trees were all there, I walked the pathways looking up and trying to assess the height I was flying/floating at, as a ghost.
And then, the ring. A woman who was doing the cleaning in that area asked the doctor if she can stay after her shift to pray at my bed, because I reminded her of her son who died of leukaemia. He was reluctant, but she insisted and he finally agreed, on condition that nobody sees her.
The doctor was (he's dead now) a neighbour and friend of my family, and he told me the whole story afterwards, when I visited him and I told him about my experience.
The night he was on duty, he checked on me and opened the door and saw the woman mumbling something at my feet, while spinning a gold ring on her finger. That's all.
I found myself back in the suit and it felt like I was hit by 5 freight trains at once, one in each sense, like being in a closed iron maiden where I was to suffer the complete palette of pain, constantly and forever with no option to die. I was overwhelmed with desperation and started looking for the stupid ring like the whole Universe depended on me finding it, but there was a thin plastic tube getting tangled on my foot - the catheter - which I started to pull out but it seemed to be miles deep and it was horribly painful, so I tried to push it back but it wouldn't go so I just kept pulling on it until it came out with blood everywhere but I didn't care - I had to find the ring so I can escape again, regardless of how much I will damage the suit in the process.
I did not know about any ring before landing back in the suit, the memory of what happened in that room was stored somehow in the brain and not accessible to me while I was a ghost. Perhaps it was accessible, but I had no intention of interacting in any way with the suit which was repugnant to me, once dead.
When I pulled all the wires the EKG thing started beeping and the nurse found me collapsed on the floor, trying to climb back to the bed, because I had to find the ring. This is what I told her, before I fainted again.
I will mention at this point that to me all religions are fake, scams meant to keep people stupid and fearful. Although the environment and everything in it does seem manufactured, the story behind it is definitely something else, and I am OK with not knowing it. There must be a reason why I don't taste UV light and I don't hear gravitation either.
Back to the story, the doctor was absolutely gobsmacked when I told him the whole story, and we became good friends, he would always have nice coffee, a cigar and some good old malt whiskey for me in his office ツ
25-30 years later I experienced ayahuasca, because many are saying it takes one out of one's physical body, but it's not the same. Still amazing and unforgettable, but nothing the same. Visually stunning, the interaction with the Entities was ... memorable to say the least, and I somehow made a friend who listened to me and gave me some answers. And I saw lots of me, meeting other entities around something like a big box, like me repeating myself and being one at the same time, but still repeating myself ... that was eerie. And time was like a big brown-bluish lump of clay, physical like an object I could shape and use at will if the Entities would let me, which was not the case. They were very protective of it.
At the end, the friendly Entity told me "Remember; all your trips were one". And when I landed back in this realm, very softly, I was still repeating myself, I could not stop it, and I was laughing at myself.
Very vivid experience, and kind of weird, it echoed quite a while within me.
