Also, we only have the professor's word that he had absolutely NO brain activity during his coma (I'm not a medic so need to check if that is even possible outwith brain death), and we only have the professor's word that his hallucination was long lasting. This is not evidence but anecdote.
The hallucination may have been fleeting during a spike of brain activity and he remembers it differently.
I read of a hospital that left a message above one of the lights in an operating theatre after somebody claimed to have had an OOBE (this phenomena seems related to NDE to me). They hoped that somebody else would have a similar experience, float to the ceiling and read the message. So far...no luck. But if ever somebody did read it, it would be strong evidence.
On another subject, I've several times had dreams where I've felt like I've floated to the ceiling, and manouvered around - it's always dark and I can't see anything. Anybody else ever had that? Also, as a child, spinning around on my bed.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
