Wesley C's Experience
|
Experience description:
I was at the dentist and i was on the operating/dentist's chair. I was panicking due to my fear of dentists. My mom was next to me holding my hand while the dentist was drilling away, I was in fear and squeezing her hand and the side arm of the chair. I recall my hands sweating and my eyes focused on the ceiling. Suddenly I stopped moving and i was at peace, everything was silent, calm and bright. I was looking at myself from the ceiling, I noticed my mom's head, the dentist's head and the assistant busy working in my mouth. My whole body was still and for those 8 seconds or so i suddenly was back in my body and i began to think about what happened. I spoke to my mom about it afterwards and she said she did see me stop panicking and moving for a few seconds.
