How in the hell do these folks have any concept of time (or their place in it) in their dreamstate? The line always goes "my brain wasn't functioning [adequately] so how could this be explained"....wasn't functioning when? How long do you think you were dreaming this dream, and when do you imagine that this occurred?
Also, memory is stored in the brain and accessed through it.
If someone was really dead, how did the memories of what they experienced get recorded in the brain that should have also been, by definition, dead at that time?
Then again, if memory can also be stored in the disembodied soul, allowing said disembodied soul to retain memories of experiences in death, why can this soul-memory not be accessed while the bodily brain suffers from amnesia, Alzheimer's, etc.?
