Your personal views on the Afterlife
#4
RE: Your personal views on the Afterlife
Dreaming would require brain function though. Death is the irreversible cessation of all brain function. No brain function, no dreaming. Any "dream like" subjective state would be experienced in the few minutes to seconds before death. Some posit that the "tunnel of light" is a result of hypoxia on the brain - visions of a dying brain. They are a common report in NDEs. Also OBEs (out of body experiences) are often reported. This is found as a consequence of the breakdown of the parietal spatial filter and has been replicated in the laboratory.
