That's a load of "Hollyhocks".

Having had a similar experience during the (very) difficult birth of my second son - the old rushing down the tunnel towards the light crap and seeing yourself from the outside...it's a mechanism of the brain to cut out pain and happens because of a reduction of Oxygen to the parts of the brain controlling the perception of pain, similar to fainting but without total loss of consciousness in order for the body to continue with the business in hand -in my case producing a healthy but overly large son.

I still believe in Father Xmas but no presents come for me any more...
