Write a code word on the dying dude's forehead. If they wake up saying "HEY! Who wrote 'DORK' on my head?!" you've proved the OOBE (out of body experience). "What if you were more focused on looking down at your dying body and what was going on below you?"

Write a code word on the dying dude’s forehead. If they wake up saying “HEY! Who wrote ‘DORK’ on my head?!” you’ve proved the OOBE (out of body experience).

On the other hand, even if it is a process in the brain, perhaps that is just part of a larger process that involves the "soul" (if one believes in that). If there is such a thing as an afterlife, then the mechanisms by which that interfaces to this life are completely undefined. Personally, I'm agnostic. I don't believe, but I'm not arrogant enough to say that I know it's false.

It comes from DMT and your pineal (sp) gland. DMT is what makes you dream. However when your born and just before you die your body pumps out tons of of it and you basically have psychedelic trip. This is where people get confused and think they are out of their bodies. You might see a bright light, and beautiful formations and patterns and you enter a highly euphoric state. This is why you say that you see a bright light or GOD or heaven or whatever your "trip" is like. If you want a near death experience go to a country where it is legal (not the US)and take DMT or even for a milder experience find some magic mushrooms. Although both very very illegal in many countries. Out of body experiences are real but they do not happen like the article states. It comes from DMT and your pineal (sp) gland.

I've been dead (although very briefly) and trust me it was definitely a dream. Because I remember hardly anything except... boobs... yep I said it, boobs. I had the vague impression that I had dreamed about fondling breasts. Go ahead, laugh. Near-dear = chemically induced dream.
