At the end of the episode the transport truck was about to take him away but the Father wanted to give him last rights, and discovered he was still alive.
Both are fucking bullshit stories in reality.
"Seeing the dead" is sleep paralysis, first off. Nor does that worry take into account all the time one worries about someone and nothing happens. Selection bias and sample rate error.
But the seemingly dead guy is the worst. It is possible for nurses and doctors to not find a pulse or vital signs, and to have the patient fly under the radar, and come out of it. That is not magic, that is just a misdiagnosis.
I think you're missing the point in both aspects.
First off, people dream about relatives fairly frequently, particularly those they haven't seen in a while. By sheer coincidence, some of these dreams are inevitably going to appear to 'come true'.
Secondly, there's no need to complain about magic. The soldier with the toe tag could simply have been hallucinating.

Not the point. In the show, Winchester was the only to state the obvious in "coincidence". I agree in REALITY it is what I said, selection bias and sample rate error or as Winchester said as you just did now "coincidence". The plot of the show was not to promote skepticism to the super natural, but to pander to it.
The soldier with the TOE TAG wasn't the one thinking he was dead. The implication in the show was that the doctors thought he was dead.
