If your life flashes before your eyes when you die, could you be dying now?

Question

If it's true what they say about your life flashing before your eyes when you die. Is it possible that we're dying right now and just going through the flashbacks. & if so, how could you tell?

Answer 1

Whoa, man!   That's deep.

Answer 2

although it really happens in a split second, for you it feels like your actually re-living your best memories, or at least, I think you do.

Haha, thats an interesting thing to think about.

Answer 3

Life flashing before your eyes is more of an expression than anything else. A person who realizes he is about to have an accident doesn't see a high-speed film strip of his life right before impact.

Answer 4

it could be possible, but i belive they mean that you exprience everything you did in your life again in one jolt, as a relust of your cerebrum failing, and those expreinces remind you of your past, or in this case, your memories.

Answer 5

you still there Ryan?some people say about the life flashes

before dying as a true experience,but as long how you can tell,it is difficult to say how can you know,remember you know

when you was born,but you don't know when you are going to die,not even the day before!

Answer 6

I hate to bring this up, but you are dying now, unless you're 25 or younger and have no fatal disease. The human body stops growning at about that time and then starts the aging, and thus dying, process.

All things are relative. Remember that 'facts' are only 'facts' based on your perspective. That's why each person at a scene of drama or crime of what not will give a different eye witness account. Everyone sees things from their own perspective and puts their own spin on what really happened, even if they don't intend to.

My opinions is, yes I'm dying now and just going through flashback. Though, I really would like to do it better the next time, I don't like these flashbacks.

Answer 7

Im not dying ...as life isnt flashing before my eyes

My soul will never die as it like yours is immortal

My cells are remade every 7 years I believe and the body does age as cell regenertaion is not a perfect process

Why do u think u r?

Could it be a trip?

Answer 8

Pick up a newspaper and read it. If you've read it before you'd remember. If you didn't remember reading it then you'd be doing it for the first time and it couldn't be a flashback.

Answer 9

I wouldn't really know, but I am pretty sure that it flashes very quickly, and only segments of memories. So if you have been doing the same thing for more than five minutes I think you are okay.

This bit is from a spiritual standpoint, ignore it if you want to.

I remember dying in a past life, my life did not flash before my eyes.

Answer 10

That's actually a pretty deep and philosophical question - a good one to ponder. I suppose it's entirely possible, but I would say unlikely. But still, it's interesting to consider .....

Not sure how you'd be able to tell. Sort of like the idea that we are all just figments of someone's imagination, a part of someone's daydream, and when they come out of it, the whole thing ends........

Answer 11

When you come close to death your life replays in fast forward. Is a place I don't want to see again. As far as dying now. We all start dying from the moment we are born.
