near-death experiences
Almost-dying reported visions
Near-death experiences are vivid subjective episodes reported by people who have been close to death or clinically dead before being revived.
Common elements include seeing a bright light, feeling peaceful, encountering deceased relatives, or sensing separation from the body.
Whether these represent glimpses of an afterlife or neurological phenomena remains debated: She described her near-death experience as transformative.
