I don't know if it was a NDE but I had an allergic reaction and passed out, I found myself floating near the ceiling, able to see and hear everyone in the room, including myself, while people around me were trying to revive me.

Astronauts reported the same sorts of experiences when they went through high gravity training. When the brain shuts down due to lack of oxygen, you have some pretty interesting hallucinations.

Ever get those shoes?

Did they walk down a lighted hallway and then have to take a number and wait? SNL sketch.

"When the brain shuts down due to lack of oxygen, you have some pretty interesting hallucinations."

Yes, a lot of these experiences sound like the same feelings one gets sitting in the dentist's chair, breathing nitrous oxide.

My 92 yr old mom has hallucinations and sees her family members who have already passed away [she has dementia]. But .. she's not having an NDE - because she's NOT NEAR DEATH - she's very healthy. Near Death is just that - near death. Passing out or being deprived of momentary oxygen is not an NDE.

Sorry .. cannot put NDE's and hallucinations in the same category. They are different and happen for different reasons.

That explanation doesn't touch the cases where the person

Out of their Body

see things--say on the top of air ducts etc. near the top of the room--which people came into the room and did what etc. and what was going on in the adjacent room--

things their body with a flatlined brain and shut eyes could not have seen.
