The opening is particularly well done, I think. John never woke up. You set up the metaphor very nicely, that John can tell something about him has never been fully active and awake, but of course he can't tell *why*, because if he knew that he'd wake up. (That itself is a good analogy to dreaming, in my opinion.)
How could he be so warm when he was a piece of the starry night?
Nice phrase.
And it seems quite logical that a near-death experience would start to awaken the sleeping parts of John's memory.
