You are asking the classic question of "why some people and not others" regarding miraculous events, but that is outside the scope of this thread. If you want, you can start another thread on that and I may present some opinions on that there. But here, I am still looking for an answer to the question I posed in my OP. How could these NDEs be "hallucinations/dreams" or otherwise explained scientifically/biologically? I have explained, in detail, the faults behind some of those opinions which conjecture that NDEs could be explained by hallucinations/dreams or some other scientific/biological explanation. I am still looking for another perspective.

Good point.
