EDIT: Also, I've had the trippiest, most vivid dreams while on ketamine for anesthesia.
Living in a house alone for two weeks in the middle of the christmas holidays from Uni (so little outside interaction either), had me jumping at shadows and imagining intruders so bad, I was carrying around a carving knife one day. It's amazingly easy to fuck with your own head.
While on various medications, I've seen:
Purple cartoon ducks (to be fair, I was watching Ducktales at the time)
An entire (and well produced, I must say) sequence where I saw my own mother operating on me
Giant 3D letters whizzing by my head while I was in a castle's courtyard floating in weird purple-black space
And a bunch of other really vivid shit
So, yeah, that's one of the many reasons why I dismiss NDEs as nothing more as hallucinations caused by brain trauma/chemical imbalances/oxygen deprivation. I see no reason to elevate them beyond mundane biology.
